Established in 2007, this independent garage has built a strong reputation serving VAG vehicle owners (Volkswagen, Audi, SEAT and Skoda) in an affluent, densely populated London borough. Operating from two sites, one freehold primary premises comprising of the reception and service garage, the other rented premises located within minutes where diagnostics and parking take place. The business offers MOT testing, diagnostics, servicing and mechanical repairs, with a further DPF cleaning service currently offered to the trade.
The business has delivered consistent year-on-year revenue growth over the last four trading periods. 2025 turnover: £707,773 Adjusted EBITDA: £92,558. This compares to turnover of £626,188 and adjusted EBITDA of £57,822 in 2024, and turnover of £582,662 and adjusted EBITDA of £64,697 in 2023.
Approximately 60 per cent of revenue comes from repeat customers, with new business generated entirely through word of mouth and a basic website presence. Advertising of any kind is currently not undertaken, representing a clear and immediate opportunity for a new owner to accelerate growth.
The team comprises six people including the owner, with several technicians having served the business for over a decade. The freehold site provides a significant asset base and operational stability that would be difficult and costly to replicate in this location.
The owner is seeking a full exit and is willing to support an agreed handover period, if required. This is a well-established operation with a loyal customer base, one freehold property/one rented premises and a demonstrable track record of growth, offered to the market for the first time.
