Business Description
Veritas Business Sales are privileged to offer for sale this very successful and highly respected Garage, MOT Testing Station & Vehicle Recovery business which is located in Newquay, Cornwall. The business has been in the careful hands of current owners since 1987 and is now being offered for sale to allow the owners to enjoy a well-deserved retirement.
Since ownership they have continually updated the premises and installed new equipment along with fixtures & fittings which are all bought and paid for and included within the sale price which is a huge plus for any new purchaser as additional funds will not need to be spent for some time. The Garage is family operated with the help of 6 full time members of staff and for year ending 31st March 2025 posted an annual turnover of £609,106 net of VAT, with a GP of £419,278 (69%) and producing a healthy net profit. They look after private drivers and trade customers from the surrounding villages. The garage provides servicing, MOT testing, brakes, diagnostics, electric and hybrid vehicle maintenance, together with manufacturer-compliant warranty work—all under one roof, with tailored solutions for vehicles of every age. They are also one of the few independent garages in Cornwall offering a 24-hour breakdown and recovery service, capable of recovering vehicles up to 6 tonnes.
We believe there is further potential to increase trade by opening on Saturdays, increasing the number of MOT’s and expanding the geographical area for recovery. The owners currently restrict both of these areas so that they can operate at a gentle pace to suit their lifestyle. The business enjoys a strong reputation within the local community and beyond and as such has a high level of regular and repeat trade. This is a fantastic opportunity to purchase an established turnkey business and, as such, early viewing is highly recommended.
