MoT Vehicle Repair And Servicing Business In Lancashire For Sale

Business description

We are pleased to offer for sale this popular family run MoT testing, vehicle repair and servicing business, which was established by our client in 1999. The business is only now being placed on the market due to our client's wish to retire. The garage trades 6-days per week and generates a turnover in the region of £164,000 per annum, derived from offering vehicle and motorcycle repairs, servicing and MoT testing. We feel that turnover could be increased by introducing car sales, subject to the relevant planning permission. There is also potential to expand on the tyre fitting service currently offered and there is space to install an additional MoT bay. The business occupies newly built premises and boasts a large workshop with spacious MoT and tyre bays, which are well-equipped to suit the trade and are maintained to a high standard throughout. With this business there is forklift truck, an Iveco van and a Citroen Dispatch van. Our client has developed an excellent reputation and a loyal customer base by offering a professional service and using high quality parts, which ensures much repeat trade. The business also benefits from its own website which provides information about services and location details. This is an ideal opportunity to acquire a busy MoT testing station, repairs and servicing business, which is situated in a thriving area and is in a walk-in-and-trade condition. Early negotiations with Preferred Commercial must come highly recommended.
