Vehicle Repair And MOT Centre In West Bromwich For Sale

Business description

We are delighted to offer for sale this family run vehicle repair and MoT testing centre, which was established by our client in 2000 and which is only now offered to the market due to our client's wish to retire. The business trades 5 ½ days a week, generating a turnover in the region of £150,000 per annum with a gross profit of 50%, derived from engine and gearbox repairs and MoT testing. The trade is currently split at 50/50 between commercial and domestic trade. We feel the turnover could be increased by embarking on a modest marketing campaign and extending the range of services provided. There is also the potential to promote the MoT testing, which is currently run at a pace to suit our client. The garage has an excellent reputation and is well known for providing high quality services. The business has numerous contracts in place including a 3 year contract with the AA for local breakdown recovery. There is a website in place advertising services provided and contact details. The premises have been well-maintained and are in a walk-in-and-trade condition. There is a 1985 Mercedes recovery truck and a 2002 1.9 diesel Citroen C15 van included in the sale. This is an ideal opportunity to acquire an already busy garage with huge scope for future development. Early viewing is highly recommended.
