CoGoGo welcomes to the market this very well-established car sales, repair, MOT, tyre and servicing specialist, offering an ideal location with large open plan buildings.

The business itself has been run by the current family owners for more than 40 years and is very well known in the area, with long standing repeat and referral private and fleet customers. They have been in the trade for many years and are now looking towards a very well-earned retirement.

The business is separated into 3 main sections, 2 large workshops and car sales showroom, offering much scope for further expansion and development. It is highly versatile, primarily equipped to high industry specifications to undertake class 4 and 7 MOTs’, together with a range of general auto mechanical repairs, maintenance, diagnostic, tyre, clutch, brake and exhaust services for most petrol and diesel cars and light commercial vehicles.

It is a “one stop shop” which also conducts a complimentary car sales operation, offering an excellent choice of quality used vehicles with ample scope for continued growth.

They are AA & RAC approved and are registered for AA breakdown. They also have 1 large and 4 smaller fleet contracts.

Even though the business is well established, it would benefit greatly by adopting a far more vigorous marketing policy, with online advertising and use of social media, together with longer hours to take it to the next level.

Please see the website at http://sirhowygarage.co.uk . An internal inspection is very highly recommended to appreciate the potential and quality on offer.
