Vehicle Repair And Mot Testing Centre Nelson Lancashire For Sale

Business description

Preferred Commercial is delighted to offer for sale this busy vehicle repair, servicing and MoT testing station, which was established by our clients 1992 and which is only now offered to the market due to our client's wish to retire. The business trades 5 days a week, generating a turnover in the region of £338,335 with a gross profit of 30%. The garage offers a wide range of services, including vehicle repairs and servicing, along with MoT testing up to class 4 and a selection of tyres and exhausts. We feel the turnover could be further increased by extending the opening hours and perhaps by embarking on a modest marketing campaign. There is also the opportunity to establish a website advertising the garage and its services. The business has an enviable reputation and a large customer base enjoying much repeat trade. We are advised that many fleet business accounts and company contracts are in place which guarantees much repeat business on a weekly basis. The premises are well-equipped to suit the trade, utilising 3 industrial units, which have been fitted to a high standard throughout. We are advised that all the ramps and major items of equipment are under ten years old and serviced regularly. The property is well presented and maintained to the highest standard. The units are protected by a monitored security system and well secured. There is adequate external parking with approximately 20 allocated parking bays and further unrestricted on-street parking. This is an ideal opportunity to acquire an already busy garage with immense scope for future growth. Early negotiations with Preferred Commercial must come highly recommended.
