The business is further supported by exemplary relations with the franchises who have helped to ensure that whatever the product - service and availability is never compromised and that customers are never let down, leading to the existing high levels of return custom. the success of the dealership is probably due to its dedication and ability to supply popular vehicles combined with exceptional service and competitive pricing, with access to all suppliers products and services. This has come through the development of the employees who continue to play a key role in this business s success, so much so that both sites run smoothly when the vendors are not there. whilst the vendors would ideally like to sell both sites together they may consider selling each site separately should a new owner so require.

The company utilises sage accounting software and industry leading management software systems that links them direct with the manufacturers they represent. equipment: both sites have a very extensive range of plant, tools and garage equipment as you would expect. Each site has its own fully equipped mot bay with all the necessary diagnostic and test equipment. There are 6 ramps at each site together with all the necessary tools and equipment. All equipment is included within the sale price. customer service: central to the company success is its total commitment to quality and customer care, which is focused to a great extent on after-sales, the area where the reputation of the business can be made or lost. Understanding this has meant that the business has prioritised this area to deliver its customer relationship management strategy. All staff share the company s customer care ethos. the company are proud of the service that is offered to customers. The results of this commitment are evident in the degree of return custom and the choice of these brand franchises by new customers over competitors. key strengths: popular in demand brands significant market share superb locations with large range of stock(new and used) freehold sites and high levels of infrastructure longevity/market presence levels of repeat business excellent structured workforce csi ratings growth and expansion: this is an outstanding opportunity to build on the existing business levels and customer base of this company, backed by leading brand names that are performing very well within the uk markets during these tough times. With a stable demand for this business s brands and services a new owner who is capable of instilling fresh ideas will have every advantage of building on an already impressive success story. both sites do not undertake any bodyshop repairs at this time.
