The subject property occupies an ideal and very convenient trading position among other independent operators in a thriving commercial development situated on the outskirts of the vibrant and historic town of Caerphilly with its ancient castle, which lies with excellent access both to major road and motorway links (A468, A469, A470 and M4 junction 32 etc.) and to the nearby Welsh capital city of Cardiff, at the southern end of the Rhymney Valley in Glamorgan.

We are delighted to present this fantastic opportunity to acquire the valuable freehold rights to a thriving commercial proposition of uncommon size, quality and further potential, which we are confident you will agree represents exceptional value.

This very well established and highly regarded “Groupauto” member is currently primarily equipped to the very highest industry specifications to undertake fast, professional and VOSA approved Class IV MOT work, with approximately five tests undertaken each day.

The workshop also offers an excellent range of associated general auto mechanical repairs, maintenance, diagnostic, tyre, clutch, brake, exhaust and body welding services for most petrol and diesel, private and light commercial marques.

The garage 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 employing its currently let areas for possible expansion to other areas of the highly diverse motor services and retail market, and to possible investment in additional qualified staff in order to exploit the full potential capacity of its facilities.

The premises 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 2004 by the current proprietor, with the aid only of a small, experienced and motivated team of three full-time staff who would be an asset to any purchaser, and we would unreservedly recommend a viewing.

Affording easy vehicle access by means of 3 x large, full-height, electrically and manually-operated steel industrial roller shutter doors, these extremely substantial and superbly fitted, single-storey freehold commercial premises provide truly outstanding and highly functional internal business accommodation, which briefly comprises the main, bright and spacious, open-plan garage workshop with concrete flooring, high ceiling with glazed roof lights, diffused fluorescent strip lighting throughout, tool storage racking and workbench area.

The workshop is equipped to the highest industry specifications with a full range of well maintained, industry standard plant including 2 x 4-post vehicle ramps, 2 x 2-post vehicle ramps, tyre changing and wheel balancing systems, laser wheel alignment system, Mig welding kit and a dedicated “one-man” Class IV ATL MOT bay with a full range of state-of-the-art testing and computerised diagnostic equipment, all of which we understand is to be included in the sale price and further details of which will be made available upon request to any genuine interested parties.

Further ancillary accommodation to the workshop premises consist of a fully fitted and furnished staff kitchen/restroom area, together with all the usual washroom/WC facilities.

Accessed by means of its own separate, full-height steel industrial roller shutter doors, the premises also incorporate a substantial area providing additional workshop, office and washroom/WC facilities, which we understand is currently let to three independent operators (a printing company, a car valeting company and a domestic cleaning company) to produce a useful combined supplementary rental income of £1,000 per month.

The premises also enjoy the benefit of portable heaters, in addition to the added safety and security benefits of 8-camera digital CCTV monitoring and a full alarm system.
