Business Description
We are pleased to have been instructed to offer to the market this popular and profitable mechanical garage.

Founded by the vendor 5 years ago, the business is only now being reluctantly offered for sale as he is planning to move away from the area with his family to Devon.

The business has an excellent local reputation with all new customers coming via word of mouth and referrals.

The garage services and repairs any car make or model at rates vastly below those charged by the main dealers, MOTs are sub contracted and all customers are retail with no accounts.

The vendor works alone in the garage and in the year to March 2009 achieved annual sales of £127,316 with a net profit of £48,836.

The garage is fully equipped for purpose including:
• 3 x 2 poster ramps
• Tyre changer
• Tyre balancer
• Tool cabinet
• Compressor
• Oil heater

We are advised that stock at cost is circa £1,500.

Increase the hourly charge out rate which is less than half that charged by the main dealers 4. Have a website as many future customers use the web to search for potential garages.
