It sits on the border of Letchworth Garden City & Hitchin

This business is ideally located on an industrial estate, where most businesses operate 365 days a year. This well-established garage enjoys the benefits of lockable high gates, CCTV, and a RedCare alarm system.

The business enjoys a loyal, varied, and repeat customer base, including those based in the industrial estate. Various lease companies, such as Leasedrive, Novuna (Network Rail), etc., are all regular customers through the 1 Link System. There is another garage on the same road that specializes in performance cars, so there is no direct competition, and we are the only business in the area to do MOT, service, & body repairs on site. This has been our USP for the past decade.

Advertising has been limited to local sports clubs, as the majority of our customer base is made up of returning customers and recommendations. Like all successful businesses, there is always room for growth. The business has a website to provide Internet users with contact details & prices.

The business is known locally as being trustworthy, well-presented, honest, reliable, friendly, and, most importantly, the one place that can meet all your vehicle needs.

All services are connected: gas, mains water, sewerage, broadband, electricity, and telephone.

This is a leasehold business up for renewal in 2 years. However, this is only one of many buildings the landlord owns, and they are happy to renew the lease for a substantial period of time.

This is a reluctant sale, as the owner of this successful business is only selling due to health reasons. The business has never been offered for sale previously.

The successful purchaser will acquire a profitable vehicle servicing, repair, bodywork repair, & MOT garage (VOSA Green Light), well established with a large customer base. There are 5 employees, 4 of whom have been with the company between 8 and 20 years. These are qualified and highly skilled technicians in their field. All will be happy to continue in their positions.
