The subject premises occupy an ideal and very convenient trading position with little in the way of direct local competition on the outskirts of the ancient and prosperous year-round riverside tourist market town of Towcester with its famous racecourse, which lies with excellent access both to major road and motorway links (A43, A5 and M1 junction 15A etc.) and to the nearby centres of Northampton (approximately 9 miles), Milton Keynes (approximately 11 miles) and Oxford (approximately 20 miles) in an affluent area of Northamptonshire.

We are delighted to present this excellent opportunity to acquire a thriving commercial proposition of uncommon quality and real further potential, which we are confident you will agree represents genuine value.

This long established and highly regarded workshop is currently primarily equipped to high industry specifications to undertake professional and fully accredited Class IV MOT work, with approximately six tests undertaken daily.

The business also provides an excellent range of associated general auto-mechanical repairs, maintenance, diagnostic, tyre, clutch, brake, exhaust and air-conditioning services for most petrol and diesel private and light commercial marques, with specialist horsebox repairs services also provided.

“Towcester Vehicle Services” provides its services for a long-standing and still-expanding repeat and referral client base, ranging from private vehicle owners to small fleet operators drawn from throughout a wide surrounding catchment area, and operates from premises of a size which would naturally furnish any enthusiastic purchaser with considerable scope for continued growth, not least with regard to possible expansion into other areas of the highly diverse motor services and retail market, possible investment in additional staff and to operating extended weekend hours in order to exploit the full potential capacity of its facilities.

The business would also benefit greatly by adopting a far more vigorous marketing policy of its excellent existing services, particularly with reference to the possible introduction of online advertising and MOT booking and to further development of its social media presence, in order to improve upon the already impressive levels of turnover it has achieved in the course of some twelve highly successful years’ trading in the hands of the current proprietor, with the aid only of a small, experienced and motivated team of two full-time staff who would be an asset to any purchaser, and we would strongly recommend the earliest possible viewing to avoid disappointment.
