MOT Bay And Garage Available To Let Cornwall For Sale

Business description

MOT and car servicing workshop with office offers an ideal opportunity for anyone looking to start up their own automotive business or those looking to expand an existing business in the Camborne area.

SITUATION
This is an established business and the premises is presently trading as an MOT bay and car mechanics workshop. The vendor is not selling the business so any new tenant could change the trading name, there will be no ingoing and you would just be responsible for the rent, rates and utilities. The premises are available with all the equipment including the emission and diagnostic test equipment and this is included within the annual rent. The new tenant would be responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of all the tools and equipment as part of the agreement.

As it stands the main source of income for the business is through the MOT station but there is potential through separate negotiation to have part of the yard to sell cars and vans from. The mechanics workshop is not presently fully utilised due to the lack of staff but it is this element of the business that can be increased. The business also runs Pengegon Recovery which would also be available if required through separate negotiation. The majority of the workload at present is geared towards MOT which in itself is a profitable business.

LOCATION
The premises are located off Stray Park Road and immediately abuts the railway line and has its own private road to the site. Stray Park Road is situated within 5 minutes of the town centre and with additional marketing could become one of the main garages in the town. Camborne is presently a hive of development at present with residential being built in two places in close proximity to this site.

BUSINESS
The business is not being sold as a going concern but will include all the tools and equipment to run the business. Any new tenant will be required to register the emission and diagnostic test equipment with VOSA in their own name. At present the business is not running at full capacity but is still making a profit. This is a prime opportunity for any new tenant to be able to put their stamp on this business with the continuation of their existing clients and also to bring in further trade. There is also the opportunity to put in a jet wash subject to agreeance with the Council which would be well utilised and would bring in even more additional income to the business.

An inventory is to be produced nearer the time of completion for all the fixtures and fittings associated to the business that will be included in the Licence agreement.
