HGV Inspections Servicing and Maintenance

CoGoGo welcomes to the market K A Commercial Repairs. The business was originally established over 30 years ago, by our client. The owner is now looking to sell the business, due to the desire to take a well-deserved retirement.

The business specialises in HGV inspections, servicing and maintenance. They focus mostly on services and repairs for light commercial vehicles. Revenue is also generated from HGV inspections, carried out every 6 weeks, as a legal requirement. This type of work is very consistent with a lot of repeat custom from big local companies. Most of the safety checks are for minibuses, trucks and light lorries.

The garage generates a healthy turnover; however, we feel this can be increased. The business thrives off word of mouth recommendations and repeat trade. There is no advertising in place. With a marketing and advertising campaign the business could see a large increase in custom.

The business has some contracts in place, this should be something the purchaser considers expanding. Having contracts with large local companies could benefit the garage with more repeat loyal trade.

Included in the sale is full diagnostic equipment, suitable for many different types of vehicles. The equipment is valued at approximately £25,000.

Attached to the premises is a unit, this is also included in the sale. However, this unit is currently let out to a gearbox company for £367 per week. This is a great extra income, although there is the option for the purchaser to use this space for themselves if required.

This is a fantastic opportunity that is not to be missed. CoGoGo 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 employees and one self-employed members of staff.

The business opening hours: -

Monday - Friday: 8am – 6pm
Saturday: 8am – 1pm
Sunday: Closed
