BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
Well Established Car Main Dealership-1 Franchise
New & Used Car Sales
Ref.AM139
Location Cheshire
Asking Price £ 75,000
This large, well established and respected operation comprises a very well known car dealership site that represents PROTON. The business operate from a prime location with good facilities and highly visible frontage. The site is being offered as leasehold. However the freehold could be made available to a prospective purchaser if so required.

The company has been built up over time to provide a one stop motoring solution that has become a leading force in the South Cheshire region and beyond having been in operation for some 35 years. The owners have had the current franchise operations for many years and have built up a sterling presence in the market providing sales of both new and used cars, servicing, parts, valeting, repairs and MOTs (which it sub contracts out). There is a comprehensive parts stock capability, all from highly equipped premises featuring workshops that employ the very latest innovations in service and repair technology.

Fully trained and experienced technicians ensure that work is carried out to exacting standards to guarantee vehicles are returned in first class condition.

This is an established enterprise, ideally situated serving a large population base. Many current customers have been loyal to the business since the very beginning and this has been due in no small part to the business’s competitive prices, quality products, first class service and attention to detail.

The business has shown itself to be resilient in the face of the current competitive and economic forces and has maintained sales in the markets it serves so well during this time..

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.

Expansion Potential
This is an outstanding opportunity to build on the existing business levels and customer base of this company,. .

There are opportunities to bring in further car brands within the current supply chains that would add to the overall offering this business provides and this is currently being looked at by the vendors.

This business maintains an extensive base of satisfied customers,(circa 1500-2000) who value the company’s products and services.

Market / Competition / Non-Competition Agreements
A high proportion of the business's revenue has been due to its excellent reputation for quality and service and strong word of mouth recommendation, the most effective form of advertisement for any organisation. In addition to this the business utilises local press advertising as well as Autotrader- both it’s magazine and website.

The company has a corporate website that has been developed to create a presence that meets the demands of today’s consumers, who’s first port of call when buying vehicles is often the Internet. The site list used vehicles details and is kept up to date.
