BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
Independent Retailer of Motor Spares & Accessories, Cycles & Repairs, Car Audio Products
Ref.AE058
Location Dagenham, Essex
Asking Price £ 75,000
This business has been under the current ownership since 1969 and is modelled very much in the likeness of Halfords, offering a wide range of car spares and accessories, which include an all vehicle range of general servicing requirements, plus spares, MOT failure requirements, re-finishing goods, audio equipment (including a fitting service) with a very wide range of tools. In addition the business has a cycle department selling new and used cycles with a fully equipped repair service.
Expansion Potential
The business would benefit from a larger exposure on the internet and an introduction to social media networks.
Market / Competition / Non-Competition Agreements
The business does very little in the way of advertising. However, it is a member of A1 Motor Stores, so features on their web pages. A1 Motor Stores is the UK’s premier retail & factor buying group, which gives the business an exclusive area and an advantage over non members that may possibly be competitors.
