INTRODUCTION
A6 Bodyshop was established by our client in this busy area of Leigh in 1981. The business offers a range of bodyshop and accident repair services as well as vehicle resprays. It has become very well known in this area and sector and has a strong base of regular customers in place. Our client has ensured the business has an excellent reputation and superb reviews are noted on Google, there is a good amount of custom generated by word of mouth recommendations. A6 Bodyshop has a comprehensive website in place.
LOCATION
A6 Bodyshop occupies a prominent position within a busy industrial estate close to a large residential area of Leigh. The area is densely populated residentially and commercially with neighbouring businesses including independent retailers as well as large multiples such as KFC and Sainsbury’s. Firs Park and Parsonage Retail Park are also nearby. The area is well linked by the M6 and A580 with very strong public transport links and parking is available immediately outside the property.
REASON FOR SALE
The business is ideally suited to a hands-on owner-operator but due to our client’s retirement, the business is offered for sale. This presents an excellent opportunity for a new owner-operator or team to take the business to the next level.

SUMMARY
This long established business occupies an industrial trading position in a highly sought after area of Leigh. Our client has secured a strong customer base and exceptional reputation. There is plenty of scope to develop the business further with the introduction of new services such as MOT testing and servicing. A new owner may also look to introduce weekend opening and longer opening hours, possibly a collection and drop off service where appropriate. This proposition would ideally suit an owner operating team who could push the business forward and build upon the solid and impressive trading foundations. Early viewings are strongly advised.
