Hilton Smythe welcomes to the market Kestrel Motor Services. For Sale due to the wish for well-earned retirement, this long standing and profitable garage services business has been serving the surrounding communities for decades.

A fully equipped, largely modern, MOT and garage services station offering repairs and maintenance to clutches, exhausts, brakes, tyres, cambelts, air conditioning, plus a full diagnostics service. General servicing and maintenance is available for the majority of manufacturers and models.

Established and owned by our client over many decades the business has grown from strength to strength, by referral and word of mouth with very little marketing or advertising, serving the local and wider communities. As the reputation for good honest quality client service and reliability has flourished, so has the consistent annual accounts and financials. There is a growth area for social media, and a further web presence although the business currently benefits a basic website www.kestrelmotorservices.co.uk

Although a long standing and profitable operation, with a hands-on owner operator, there remains room for scope and growth. Registering as a drop point for breakdown service companies, or employing further staff by increased marketing and advertising would help to grow an already healthy turnover with the business having recently also moved into the arena of IV and VII class MOT’s (class 4 & 7).

The business is run and managed by our client, with the help of 1 other full time expert mechanic.

The business opening hours:
Monday - Friday: 08:00 to 17:00
Saturday: 08:00 to 12:00
Sunday: Closed
