Hilton Smythe welcomes to the market Carrolls Garage. This is a family run business that was originally established by our clients in 1975. This is a well-established garage that receives a generous amount of repeat loyal trade. The owners are now looking to sell the business, due to the desire to take a well-deserved retirement. The garage offers an excellent variety of services for a range of vehicles. This includes class 4 MOT’s, servicing, repairs, exhaust systems, suspension repair, brake testing, tyres and diagnostics. This is an excellent garage that has been run to a very high standard by our clients. The business generated a turnover in the region of £80,000 as of the 2014 accounts, with a gross profit of 73%. Although this is a healthy turnover we feel there is scope to increase this figure. The purchaser should consider the option of introducing more services. Body work and recovery could benefit the garage and should allow for a lot more trade. The business does have a Facebook page and a website. Social media is a great way of advertising a business and this should be something the purchaser continues. The garage has an excellent website, this is included in the sale. (www.carrollsgarage.co.uk) The site has information of services available and is very easy to use. However, we feel that an online booking system could be beneficial to improve the site. This is a fantastic opportunity that is not to be missed. Hilton Smythe highly advise early viewing to take in the full potential of the trade.
The business is run and managed by our clients, with the help of three members of staff.
The business opening hours: - Monday - Friday: 8:30am – 5pmSaturday & Sunday: Closed
