Busy Essex MOT And Service Business For Sale

Business description

Now with additional option of purchasing business only (£350,000) and taking out 15yr lease on premises.

MOT test centre (vehicle classes IV & VII) & Service garage based in the Brentwood area (approx. 5mins from M25).

Sale due to owner's retirement, business has been established as a Limited Co since 1982. Very good reputation in the surrounding areas, and good reputation with similar local businesses and trade suppliers.
Member of schemes such as RMIF, Good Garage Scheme, Unipart Car Care Centre and Motor Industry Code of Practice.
Workshop comprises four vehicle lifts with Sun MOT testing bay, approx. 3860 sq ft working area not including offices, amenities and front & rear parking areas.

Very good location along main rd, and workshop consistently praised as "The cleanest in Essex!" Has to be seen to be appreciated.

Whilst maintaining a large customer base, a healthy amount of passing trade is currently enjoyed by the current owner.

There is scope for improvements as far as services offered e.g. Recovery service, tyre bay, and a motorcycle test lane have all been considered previously.

PLEASE NOTE: Due to business and property price reduction from £795,000 to £750,000 no offers will be considered lower than this sum. The business is sold as a going concern at the price of £350,000 if bought separately from freehold premises.
