Hilton Smythe are delighted to welcome to the market an outstanding opportunity to acquire on a leasehold basis a thriving garage / accident repair centre with an enviable reputation.
This turn key operation has been trading for many years under the careful ownership of our clients and has only now been placed on the market as they look to take well-earned retirement.
VC Motors offers a variety of services including an accident repair operation, on site mechanical repairs, services, spare parts and some car accessories.
This fully equipped garage can carry out repairs on all makes and models along with ability to prepare and respray accident damaged vehicles. They also stock a good selection of spare parts including tyres, engine oils, brake discs and pads and batteries to name a few.
The business has built up an excellent reputation within the area and further afield for the high quality of the combined services offered, which has resulted in a very loyal client base, with a high volume of repeat trade and word of mouth recommendations.
We feel there is scope to increase the turnover by extending the opening hours.
A new owner could also embark on a modest marketing campaign to highlight the business and the services offered, along with the introduction of a dedicated class 4 MOT bay or perhaps branch out into the car and van hire business and also car sales (due to property layout) along with the introduction of the dedicated websites and also offering a recovery breakdown recovery service.
This is an excellent opportunity for a new owner to take this already thriving business to the next level; therefore, early viewing must come highly recommended to avoid disappointment.
The business is run and managed by the current owner and 1 member of staff.
The business currently operates;
Monday - Friday 8.30 am to 5.00 pm
