Business Profile
This well known and successful business, set up over 15 years ago, provides a comprehensive workshop service for motor vehicles/cars, light commercial vehicles & performance, track/race cars within this busy and densely populated are of Wiltshire and has been in the current vendor’s ownership since its founding. The vendor plays no part in the day to day management of the business.

| Growth: The business has enjoyed steady trade over many years and this is expected to continue in light of its growing and loyal customer base. The site has room for expansion if need be and this could easily be achieved if a new owner wished to employ further personnel as the demand is already there.
The business is well positioned at this time to develop further its diesel particulate specialism and larger vehicle commercial business.
The business does very little advertising and could certainly expand this activity with a more proactive approach. The business is ready & prepared to take maximum advantage of this growth as it occurs as it has the necessary infrastructure in place.
