Business Description
We are delighted to present this outstanding opportunity to acquire a thriving commercial proposition of real quality and further potential, which we are confident you will agree represents genuine value.
This very well established and highly regarded automotive solutions centre is currently primarily equipped to high industry specifications to undertake professional and fully accredited Class IV MOT work for most petrol and diesel private and light commercial marques, with approximately six tests undertaken each day.
The workshop also offers an excellent range of associated general auto mechanical repairs, maintenance, diagnostic, tyre, clutch, brake, exhaust, tracking and suspension services, with a popular valeting service also available where required.
“Firvale Motoring Centre” 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, with a significant volume of “drive in” trade generated by its prime suburban main road position, and operates from premises of a size which would naturally furnish any enthusiastic purchaser with ample scope for continued growth, not least with regard to the possible expansion into other areas of the highly diverse motor services and retail market and to operating significantly extended weekend hours in order to exploit the full potential capacity of its facilities with regular custom from to the hospital.
The business would also benefit by adopting a more vigorous marketing policy of its excellent existing services, both through its own informative dedicated website and to further development of its social media presence, in order to improve upon the already high levels of turnover it has achieved since being established in its present form some twenty successful years ago by the current proprietor, with the aid of a small, experienced and motivated team of three full-time staff who would be an asset to any purchaser, and we would strongly recommend the earliest possible viewing to avoid disappointment.
