Hilton Smythe welcomes to the market AJs Garage, which has been a garage serving the local community and surrounding areas for approximately 50 years. Our client is selling due to moving out of the area.
AJs Garage sells unleaded petrol and diesel from 2 pumps on the forecourt and has a service garage, which also carries out Class 4 MOTs. There is also a small retail shop to complement the fuel sales.
Our client took over the business from the previous owners at the beginning of 2018 when the previous owners were in the process of winding down the business and have now built the business up again and regained many original clients. The business has been approached by larger companies to carry out repairs on their vehicles also to have fuel accounts.
Our client does not advertise or have any social media pages or website, these are definite areas that should be looked at to increase the growth of the business.
There are many reasons to buy AJ's Garage including:
• Prime location for fuel sales
• Increase the retail sales
• Advertise to generate further growth
• Freehold sale
• Possibilities for further development (subject to planning)
Hilton Smythe highly advise early viewing to avoid disappointment.
The business is run and managed by our client, with the help of 1 part time and 1 full-time member of staff.
The business opening hours:
Monday - Friday: 8.00 am – 5.00 pm
Saturday: 8.00 am – 12.00 pm
Sunday: Closed
The hours of the fuel station and shop could be extended to 7 days a week to increase turnover.
