High-Margin Automotive Detailing And Specialist Restoration Business For Sale

Portsmouth, Hampshire, UK
Asking Price:
£95,000 Furniture / Fixtures included
Turnover:
£363,000
Net Profit:
£63,000

A rare opportunity to acquire a high‑margin, multi‑stream automotive services business combining premium detailing, ceramic coatings, Lanoguard underbody protection (exclusive within 20 miles), and a highly profitable niche flood/leak restoration service with virtually zero competition. With £63,000 profit, 1,000+ verified Checkatrade reviews, and a weekly commercial contract directly opposite the workshop, this is a turnkey operation with strong recurring income and exceptional reputation.

Why This Business Stands Out

This is not a standard valeting business. It is a specialist automotive services company with multiple high‑margin revenue streams, a strong brand presence, and a competitive moat that typical detailing businesses simply do not have.

Premium, High‑Margin Services

Ceramic coatings
Advanced detailing
Lanoguard underbody protection (exclusive provider within 20 miles)
Specialist restoration services
The “Unfair Advantage” – Leak Detection & Flood Restoration

A niche, technical service with:

Virtually zero local competition
High hourly rates
Year‑round demand
No winter slowdown
This service alone makes the business significantly more profitable and resilient than standard detailing operations.

Recurring Commercial Income

Weekly contract cleaning plant equipment for a major commercial client located directly opposite the workshop — guaranteed cash flow with zero travel time.

Flexible Operational Model

Fully equipped workshop
Three mobile units (continue leases or purchase outright)
Two established, lead‑generating websites.
Outstanding Reputation

Over 1,000 verified Checkatrade reviews
Decades‑long presence
Strong repeat private and commercial clientele
Ideal Buyer
