This is without a shadow of doubt the finest garage business, in the most State Of The Art facility we have ever had the pleasure to offer on the open market.  This level of attention to detail and investment in the most modern plant and equipment would make the very best new car dealership envious.  Superbly centrally located to attract custom from a wide catchment area, and within easy reach of the motorway network.  The garage was originally set up back in 1987 from the owners home premises but due to the popularity and demand for its services and MOT’s the owner moved and expanded the business to a purpose built and very secure industrial unit just two years ago.  The garage workshops have to be seen to be fully appreciated, with a welcoming and comfortable customer reception / waiting area with TV, Wi-Fi and beverage making machine, outstanding offices and exceptional facilities for its team of staff, including a conference / training room, rest room, washroom, locker room and fully fitted kitchen and dining area.  The unit has approximately 7,200 sq ft  of space, with an option for more land if required.  Customer and staff parking for over 20 cars within a secure heavy-duty fenced and gated compound.  Large bay doors to accommodate cars, motorhomes and light commercial vehicles.  Separate bay doors to the MOT testing facility and tyre fitting area.  An overhead gantry makes for easy and safe relocation of heavy parts such as engines etc and a ceiling installed multi flexible piped exhaust gas extraction system serves each work station.  In order to make the most of the space, an elaborate mezzanine floor was added, which accommodates the enclosed training facility / conference room and parts and lubricant storage.  In addition to vehicle repair, diagnostics and servicing, the business carries out in the region of 1,000 to 1,200 MOT’s per annum.  In line with new Ministry Of Transport requirements, this testing station is authorised and newly equipped with the very latest “connected” equipment, including the exhaust gas analyser.  Business on lease.
