Business Description
We are delighted to present this outstanding opportunity to acquire the valuable freehold rights to 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 “Good Garage Scheme” highly rated automotive solutions provider is currently primarily equipped to high industry specifications to undertake fast, professional and fully accredited MOT work for most petrol and diesel, private and light commercial marques.
The company also offers a virtually ‘one stop’ range of associated general auto mechanical repairs, maintenance, computerised diagnostic, Crypton tuning, tyre, clutch, brake, exhaust, DPR and air-conditioning services, with vehicle valeting, courtesy car and collection and delivery services also available upon request.
“Truetest Motors Ltd” 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 year-round ‘drive in’ trade generated by its excellent commercial location, and would naturally furnish any enthusiastic purchaser with considerable scope for continued growth, not least with regard to possible investment in additional staff and to operating weekend hours in order to exploit the full potential capacity of its facilities.
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 in 1988 by the current ‘hands on’ director, with the aid of a team of four experienced and motivated staff who would be an asset to any purchaser, and we would strongly urge any genuine interested parties to pursue the earliest possible enquiries.
