The garage is currently located on a busy main road in Reading in Berkshire. The garage is virtually surrounded by residential properties, which is why the site is to be redeveloped.
Ideally a new site should be within a mile or two from its present location to preserve customer and staff goodwill. We are advised that commercial premises which fit the bill are readily available.
THE BUSINESS:
Advent Business Sales are pleased to have been instructed to offer to the market this exceptionally well established and popular garage and MOT business.
The garage, which was founded by our client’s father over 41 years ago, was passed to the son 9 years ago and is only now being reluctantly offered for sale as the site is being redeveloped and he will then wish to pursue an alternative unrelated business venture.
The business enjoys an excellent local reputation for quality work at reasonable rates, which are well below those charged by the main dealers.
The garage carries out mechanical repairs to any make or model, as well as approximately 60 MOT’s a week, exhausts, tyres, batteries, servicing and is fully equipped with engine tuning and diagnostic systems.
They will also arrange for broken down cars to be recovered, although this is sub contracted. Approximately 70% of the MOT’s are for retail customers and 30% are for other garages and account clients.
The garage is fully equipped for purpose and includes:
• 2 x 4 poster ramps
• 1 x 2 poster ramp
• Full MOT bay with rolling road and gas analyser
• Tyre fitting and balancing machines
• Diagnostics computer, auto data
• Spring compressor equipment
• Tracking gauges
• Clarke air compressor
• Numerous specialist hand tools.
We are advised that stock at cost is approximately £5,000. The business also has a quantity of consignment stock, which is only paid for when sold. Agreement would need to be reached for its continuance, which is not thought to be an issue.
REF: 9204RG
STAFF DETAILS:
The garage has 7 full time workers including the vendor and a part timer who works approximately 25 hours per week. Of the full time staff, 2 are fully qualified MOT testers.
TRADING HOURS
Mon-Fri: 8.00am – 6.00pm
Sat: 8.00am – 12.00pm
EXPANSION POTENTIAL:
Our client clearly has a successful garage, there are however a few areas where sales and profits could be increased:
1. They could offer to carry out motorbike and class 7 MOT’s
2. A concerted effort with advertising to push tyre sales
3. There have been many occasions where they have had the need for an electrical technician, this has had to be sub contracted, when by employing additional staff extra income would have been earned.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION:
We have been advised by the vendor of the following:
Annual sales: £600,000
Gross Profit:
Accounts will be made available to interested parties after a viewing has taken place.
Please let us know if you require finance for the purchase of a business.
BUSINESS PREMISES:
The business needs to be re-located anywhere in the vicinity. We are advised that there are many sites available.
