Business description

This business set up some 8 years ago by the current vendors has established itself as a fully approved and accredited bodyshop and repair centre with a sterling reputation in the industry it serves. Because of this the business has enjoyed steady growth over the years and has a good mix of customers. These include many of the city’s car dealerships, independent garages and the general public, not to mention insurance companies such is the quality and efficency of this operation.
The staff are fully conversant with the latest bodyshop and refinishing techniques and the business is compliant with all necessary health and safety regulations and codes of practice. Because of this the business is able to repair most manufacturer’s cars giving it huge scope for expansion.
Equipment:
The business has a good level of professional plant and equipment, which includes a good quality paint booth, body shop tools, jigs, heaters, compressors and all the necessary preparation and refinishing equipment. All equipment is included within the sale.
Customer Service:
The business offers an excellent standard of service and is proud of their attention to customer care offering professional advice and high quality of workmanship. All members of staff are helpful at all times and keep customers fully informed.
Members of the VBRA (vehicle builders and repairs association), the company are dedicated to quality, speed and efficiency.
Key Strengths:
The business is situated within an excellent location and has built a strong reputation. Customers are offered the reassurance of a quality repair service with the minimum of fuss and inconvenience, a service that is second to none. This is also reflected in turnaround times the business consistently achieves, not to mention the highly competitive yet profitable rates. Because of this the business enjoys high levels of repeat business.
The premises are large and well laid out with room for expansion if need be.
Growth and Expansion:
Already linked to a variety of motor manufacturers and insurance companies, there is the potential of being able to develop further approvals from other car manufacturers and dealers in the city which has seen a renaissance in recent years. The business does very little advertising and could certainly expand this activity with a more proactive approach to sales. Extended opening hours could also increase revenues should a new owner so wish. The business is well positioned to take maximum advantage of this growth as it occurs as it has all necessary infrastructure in place.
Key Opportunities:
As well as further development of the insurance work which currently only caters for some 10% of overall sales the business has just started offering alloy wheel refurbishment services. This in demand service is already proving both popular and lucrative.
The business would also benefit from the development of its current customer base and building its own website.
