The subject premises occupy an ideal trading position with little in the way of direct local competition in the good and well populated village suburb of Balerno, which lies on the busy main A70 to Edinburgh city centre (approximately 8 miles) in semi-rural Midlothian.

We are delighted to present this outstanding opportunity to acquire a thriving commercial proposition of real quality and uncommon 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 an excellent range of fast, professional automotive solutions for most petrol and diesel, private and light commercial marques.

The workshop offers services including general auto mechanical repairs, maintenance, diagnostic, tyre, clutch, brake, exhaust and engine tuning, with MOT preparation work also undertaken.

“Bavelaw Garage” provides its services for a long-standing and still-expanding, repeat and referral client base 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 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 qualified 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 very respectable levels of turnover it has achieved since being established in its present form in 2000 by the current proprietor, with the aid of just one experienced and motivated full-time assistant who would be an asset to any purchaser, and we would strongly urge any genuine interested parties to pursue the earliest possible enquiries.

Affording easy vehicle access by means of large, full-height industrial doors, these substantial and well fitted leasehold detached commercial premises provide excellent and highly functional internal business accommodation, which briefly comprises the main, bright and open-plan garage workshop with concrete flooring, high ceiling, diffused fluorescent strip lighting throughout, tool storage racking and workbench area.

The workshop is equipped to high industry specifications with a full complement of well maintained, industry standard plant including vehicle ramp, tyre fitting and wheel balancing systems and diagnostic machine etc., 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 consists of all the usual washroom/WC facilities.

Accessed by means of its own separate public/personnel entrance, the premises also incorporate a separate, detached and single-storey “Portakabin” style unit providing further well fitted internal business accommodation consisting of the main, bright, welcoming and fully computerised client reception and general administration office with telephone and full complement of internet links and industry-specific business management systems.
