Garage Services Business In Whitstable Kent For Sale

Business description

Preferred Commercial is pleased to offer for sale this popular garage services business, which was established by our client in 1975 and which is only now being placed on the market due to his wish to retire. The business generates a turnover in the region of £250,000 per annum with a gross profit of 40%, derived from repairs and servicing of most makes of vehicle. The business boasts an enviable reputation with a loyal customer base, some of which are the third generation of a family and many holiday parks recommend the garage to holidaymakers. The business is well presented and comprehensively equipped offering a true walk-in and trade opportunity. There is scope for a new owner to increase turnover by utilising the second workshop, which is currently let out, to create an MoT bay, and by investing in the latest diagnostic equipment. We feel this represents a rare opportunity to acquire a well-established garage services business, in such an ideal location and with such an enviable reputation. Early discussions with Preferred Commercial must come highly recommended.
