20-Year Established Automotive Business

About the Business

NAI Harcourts Metro, as exclusive agents, are pleased to present an established automotive servicing and repair business in Exmouth, WA, For Sale.

Operating for approximately 20 years and under current ownership for 10 years, this business has built a strong reputation and loyal customer base.

Repeat business from local residents and commercial operators underpins the operation, complemented by established servicing relationships with national and local car hire companies.

Providing general automotive servicing and repairs across all makes and models, the business offers diesel repairs, tyres, diagnostics, suspension work and 4WD accessories. Strong demand sees the workshop regularly booked approximately one month ahead, with work being declined due to capacity constraints.

The business recorded turnover exceeding $1 million in both FY2025 and FY2026, with FY2026 sales of approximately $1.078 million according to the supplied management accounts. These results have been achieved while operating a nine-day fortnight and closing for approximately one month over Christmas.

The workshop is extensively equipped, with two new heavy-duty hoists being installed, diagnostic equipment, specialised tooling, compressor, oil storage and delivery systems, and workshop benches. A VDJ79 LandCruiser, tandem trailer and forklift are also included in the sale. The premises feature mezzanine storage, staff amenities, a rear wash pad and separate office accommodation.

Adding significant appeal is renovated, fully furnished one-bedroom accommodation included within the proposed lease. Complete with a living area, kitchen, ensuite and air conditioning, it provides a practical option for an incoming owner or employee.

The existing workshop team comprises a mechanic with approximately 20 years' experience and a fourth-year apprentice nearing qualification, both of whom have indicated their willingness to remain following the sale. The purchaser would take responsibility for administration, with further scope for a suitably qualified owner to contribute directly in the workshop.

The current owner is selling to relocate for family reasons and offers a two-week handover, with additional support available by arrangement. A new lease will be negotiated as part of the sale, at an annual rent of $90,000 plus Outgoings and GST, including the workshop and residential accommodation.

There is scope to build on the existing operation through additional staff, expanded trading hours, further fleet servicing and the introduction of air conditioning services and wheel alignments.
