Busy Garage In Castleford West Yorkshire For Sale

Business description

Preferred Commercial is delighted to offer for sale this busy garage, which was established by our client in 2001 and which is only now offered to the market due to our client's ill health. The business trades 6 days a week and generates a turnover in the region of £120,000 per annum with a gross profit of 39%. Jepsons Garage offers vehicle repairs, servicing, diagnostics and MoT testing, along with motorcycle repairs and maintenance and used car sales. The business has established an enviable reputation over 10 years of trading, ensuring much repeat trade and word of mouth recommendations. The garage would benefit from a modest marketing campaign as currently no advertising is carried out. The premises are well-equipped to suit the trade and boast a spacious workshop, large car park and a building that is currently used for storage. A new owner could if desired, redevelop the site into residential accommodation, subject to planning permission. We also feel the storage building could be utilised as a further workshop. This is an ideal opportunity to acquire an already popular garage with huge scope for future development. Early negotiations with Preferred Commercial must come highly recommended.
