Vehicle Clutch Specialist And MoT Station In Dorset For Sale

Business description

Preferred Commercial is pleased to offer for sale this clutch specialist and MoT garage business, which has been in our client's hands since 1999 and which is only now being placed on the market due to our client's wish to retire. The business trades 5-days per week and generates a turnover in the region of £300,000 per annum with a gross profit of 45%. The garage specialises in a number of vehicle related services including clutches, MoT testing, diagnostics, repairs and servicing. The business boasts large and modern premises and is well-equipped to suit the trade, with a large open-plan workshop, reception and office area and a large forecourt, which is used for customer parking and as a car sales area. Our client has developed an excellent reputation and a loyal customer base, which ensures much repeat trade word of mouth recommendations. We feel that turnover could be increased by extending the opening hours and by introducing a modest marketing campaign. This is an ideal opportunity to acquire a busy garage, which is situated in a thriving area and is in a walk-in-and-trade condition, with scope to develop further. Early negotiations with Preferred Commercial must come highly recommended.
