GENERAL INFORMATION

THE BUSINESS

Wrights Lane Garage is an extremely well established family business with a wide ranging and loyal customer base covering the Torquay and South Devon area. The business was established in 1976 and has operated over two generations. The two owners (brothers) are looking to retire and to pass the business onto a new operator who will undoubtedly have the energy to push business further and increase turnover and profit.

The existing business is however still very lucrative and provides a very strong income in its current guise. The business is multi-faceted and specialises in MOT testing and general vehicle servicing and repairs. Wrights Lane Garage also offers clutch repairs and servicing, exhaust inspection and repairs, diagnostics, welding repairs and starter motor/battery repairs and replacements.

The business is presently run by the owners with the assistance of one full time member of staff. The sale will be treated as a TOGC (Transfer of a Going Concern).
