Mechanical Workshop in AUSTRALIA FAIR, Queensland for sale
Up for a giveaway price is an automotive business goldmine. Motortek is at unit 1 / 9 Nesbit Street Southport and comes complete with a bling website which lands on page 1 of google everytime for Southport Safety Certificates or Safety Certificates Southport. It is a licensed inspection station and has a following of clients including local car yards and general public. I am the owner and set it up as my dream to get away from fly in / fly out mining work however as I have tried to manage the progression into my workshop business fulltime my employer has offered me a package in mining that it simply too good to turn down and so my loss is your gain.
I am very qualified mechanic and approved examiner but also did a business degree a few years ago and majored in marketing so I can assure that this business, the website, the branding is all smartly done and includes being a Penrite Authorised Service Centre. I can also stay around and assist with handover and adjust the website and search engine optimisation to suit your own speciality if that’s what you want.
The rent is cheap considering it is in the Ferry Road car precinct (2 minute walk to all yards, Bursons, exhaust shops etc). It is the most prominent workshop in the street and whenever I am there new business opportunities come in daily. It has a large street frontage including U shape drive in drive out driveway and off street parking for easily 5 cars on the apron plus another 4 cars inside.
The rent is $1188 month base rate ($1415 per month inclusive of all outgoings and GST)…this is cheaper than sheds up side alleys and in obscure locations. It comes with hoist, computer system, office furniture and some extras. I know the landlord who is a major builder on the Gold Coast and should be no problem assigning the lease to the right type of person. In fact the landlord has 25 utes in his fleet and has offered me that work but I just haven’t been able to go after it.
If you are interstate and looking to start the dream on the Gold Coast then here it is. I am sorry to see it go but as much as I try to leave mining it just keeps a hold on me. I have worked this shop on my weeks off and on weekends and can net a margin of $5000 in a week (not trying hard).I can almost guarantee the work from one high turnover car yard and these guys pay cash at the end of each week. I would easily knock back $1500 cash margin a week from people calling me wanting timing belts, clutches, RWC etc. You can spend a day with me and see how often the phone rings for mechanical work and roadworthies, at least 4 or 5 times a day and its all work I cannot take on because I am usually in the Hunter Valley.
It is all there, perfect business model, brand and location. Walk in Walk out (but willing to guide you in the early days). $39,000. I may be willing to consider some kind of sublease/shared lease/ contractor arrangement but you need to demonstrate you have good qualifications and references also that you are very neat and tidy. Serious interest only please. Visit www.motortek.com.au
