Business for sale

Business description

This leading commercial vehicle accident repair, service and MOT business was established by the current owners more than thirty years ago. Since that time it has developed to be recognised as one of the top 10 commercial vehicle accident repairers in the UK. This has been achieved through a mixture of market knowledge, entrepreneurial spirit and the establishment of first class working relationships with major clients. These consist of insurance companies and the many national and local businesses using the company.

The business is located on a first class freehold site of circa two acres, close to major road, rail and air transport links.

There has been major investment in the comprehensive facilities during the past ten years. The company now offers a modern, clean working environment in six accident repair and five service bays. The latest, market leading ‘JOSAM’ laser alignment and measuring system is utilised to ensure accurate repair of vehicles. Specialist heat induction technology is used to ensure accurate chassis repair. A large spray paint booth, which can be subdivided for smaller vehicles, is also used, further demonstrating the commitment to ongoing investment.

The company specialises in the servicing and accident repair of all makes of commercial vehicles from 2.8 tonnes , up to the largest used on UK roads, and in addition is a Renault Trucks Franchised Repairer. More than 250 vehicles are regularly serviced, some owned and operated by the largest fleet operators.

The company enjoys an excellent blend of sales across the four major service lines as follows:

Accident repairs – 60%
Service operations – 20%
Steering Geometry/Paintwork – 3% (where not part of accident)
MOT’s – 17%

This is a first class business which would be an excellent acquisition for any company looking to gain a major footprint in commercial vehicle accident repair, servicing and MOT in Scotland.
