Description:
Car Repair & MOT Garage

Ref.AL115
Location Oxford
Asking Price £ 295,000
Established in the 1930’s and purchased by the current owner in 1980, this business has shown remarkable resilience to become one the longest established and possibly the best known garage service and repair centre in the area. It is also a fully accredited and authorised Class IV MOT station.

Excellently located on a busy main road, the business has established a very loyal client base, and for many is the preferred mechanical servicing and repair centre in the area. This customer base is made up almost entirely from private individuals and has some well known businesses from the area too.

The business provides a friendly, approachable service with no pressure and should small items require replacement, such as bulbs and wiper blades, they will be cheerfully renewed there and then, often at no labour cost. It is this kind of service offered to customers that ensure they return time after time and has enabled the business to survive and flourish for over 70 years.

The business delivers a professional, cost effective and friendly service and has an excellent reputation for fulfilling all requirements. The staff are extensively trained and highly skilled, with many years on-the-job experience and always ensure that clients’ individual needs are met, and close attention to detail is maintained.

The fully equipped workshop ensures that full servicing and repairs are carried out to the highest standard possible by the expert workforce, with rigorous quality inspections completed before final collection by the client. This business has built up an excellent reputation for integrity and first class customer service. The continued commitment to customer satisfaction, fast and efficient service and competitive rates continually places them ahead of any competition and is responsible for the business’s retention of many satisfied customers, for so long.

The fully fitted and authorised MOT bay also ensures a constant through put of business, often leading to mechanical repairs afterwards or services beforehand. As it is becoming more difficult to become an MOT station in this highly regulated time, this is a constant revenue generator for this business and will continue to be so into the foreseeable future.

The business is further supported by exemplary relations with key suppliers who have helped to ensure that customer service and product quality is never compromised and that customers receive the highest possible quality of service. This commitment to suppliers and customers has underpinned this business’s abilities in service quality and sustained business success.

Market competition and expansion:
The business currently does very little in the way of established advertising relying instead on the quality of its service to generate repeat and referral business which accounts for a large proportion of its revenue. This is supplemented with a small amount of advertising in local papers as well as some small advertising in the local hospital. The business does not have a web presence and there is no doubt that turnover and profits could increase using this additional medium. A professionally designed website could allow potential customers to view the range of quality service available and to advertise the MOT capability of the business.
