Description:

Garage services including MOT, servicing, maintenance, repairs and used car sales
Ref.AL154
Location Kent
Asking Price £460,000
Having had a presence in this historic market town since the 1920’s, this business, formerly a franchise dealership for one of the major manutfacturers, has been under the stewardship of the current Owners for the past thirteen years.

With a team of fully trained staff, this business is one of the leading outlets in its area for MOT’s, service, repair and maintenance as well as the sale of used cars. Bodywork is also managed on behalf of customers, out-sourced through a local body shop with which this business has had a longstanding relationship.

Not surprisingly, as a former franchise dealership, a large proportion of turnover comes from working on the vehicles of the particular manufacturer with which this business previously had such excellent ties and this is perhaps no more so than in relation to its Used Car sales. However this business can and does work on all marques, makes and models.

As would be expected of a former main franchise dealer, this is a very impressive set up, comprising a very well presented showroom with space for the display of approximately 12 cars, office space, workshop areas accomodating 6 bays including the MOT station, a Service Reception Area together with a separate valetting bay – all surrounded by parking for both customers’ cars and the display of further used vehicles. The on-site facilities ensure that a quality job is completed each and every time with all repair and maintenance work undertaken with the greatest care and attention. Employees have been carefully recruited and trained to ensure that their product knowledge and technical proficiency is extensive and current. All staff understand the importance of customer satisfaction and the impact it can have on the future success of the business. Consequently all strive to ensure customer expectations are managed effectively, enquiries are dealt with efficiently and work on vehicles is completed on time. As a small country town garage – nothing is too much trouble – the business even offers a ‘pick up and drop off’ service as well as customer courtesy cars.

Market competition and expansion:	In a prominent location and with a presence in the town stretching back to the 1920’s, this business enjoys high levels of residual awareness amongst local motorists. The business has a very well designed and informative web presence which performs very well in all the major search engines for all appropriate search terms. It also has a presence in the local Yellow Pages. The business promotes its Used Car sales operation via the local press but the vast majority of spend in this area is web based through major sites such as Autotrader.
