This well established smash repairs has been operating for 31 years and has been in its current location on the Sunshine Coast for 19 years. The owner began the business back in 1983 and has continued to keep the same high quality standard throughout the entire time, it’s now time to put the tools down and let someone a bit younger take control and bring it further into the new age.
The workshop is spacious with room for 9 cars under cover as well as a large covered area, mezzanine floors at either end of the tenancy leaves plenty of room for storage of parts and stock. A well fitted out office with reception area and of course a big back room with kitchenette for staff. A very well presented workshop with everything that is required to continue moving the business forward. Did I mention the car parking spaces available for up to 30 cars with gates at the front and security system?
As the business has been trading for such a length of time, we are working with the past four financial years and this shows nothing but positive results with turnover increasing steadily each year and at the conclusion of the 2014 year the business turned over $1,045,436 with bottom line to the one working owner of $150,000. Now that sure is more than what you could earn working or even managing a panel shop!
The equipment in the shop is of top quality with everything you need for the small touch-up job to major collision repairs & complete restoration of a vintage classic. The Autobake baking oven uses PPG waterborne environmentally sound paints and is built into the concrete slab. The extraction system is a permanent fixture in the shed, so it is part of the leasehold and will be in the leasing terms and conditions. The work flow and jobs is all controlled by a modern computer program with displays in the workshop so all employees can see where everything is up to or should be up to. Rest assured I’m sure you will not find anything missing.
The business has and I’m sure will continue its work with the insurance companies but the owner for the most part completes a high percentage of private work or fleet work with clients such as the Sunshine Coast Regional Council and all of the local ambulances. This work has enabled the business not to rely on the insurance companies and as we have seen of late if your shop is reliant on them there could be issues in the retention of them.
If you are a panel beater and you want your own then there is not a better opportunity on the Coast. A great workshop with everything including a business that has a proven record of strong returns and quality service and work. Take advantage and build on it!
