Dorset Car And Commercial Vehicle Repairs Recovery Business For Sale

Business description

Preferred Commercial is delighted to offer for sale this busy 24 hour recovery and car and commercial repair business, which was established by our client in 2001 and which is only now offered to the market due to our client's wish to retire. The business trades all year round, generating a turnover in the region of £60,000 per annum with a gross profit of 60% derived from a recovery service, vehicle repair, servicing and MoT preparation. We feel the turnover could be increased by embarking on a modest marketing campaign. There is also the potential to run the repairs and servicing side of the business to full capacity, as it's currently run at a pace to suit our client. The new owner could, if desired, establish a website advertising services provided. The business has an excellent reputation and is renowned for maintaining a high standard of service. There is a contract in place with the local council for the recovery service. The premises are well-equipped to suit the trade with a large workshop and a 4-post ramp. There are 4 recovery trucks included in the sale and a wide range of high quality tools and equipment. We feel this is an ideal opportunity to acquire an already busy business with scope for future development. Early negotiations with Preferred Commercial must come highly recommended.
