About the Business
The operating model is particularly notable, with the business also closing for approximately one month over Christmas and New Year, the week of Easter and another week during the second half of the year. Despite these limited trading periods, the business maintains an established customer base and holds a contract with SG Fleet to service and maintain Ergon Energy vehicles.
• 29 years established under the same ownership.
• Four-day trading week — Monday to Thursday, 7 am to 4 pm.
• Lean operating model with one employee alongside owner involvement.
• Around six weeks of annual closure, including a month over Christmas and New Year.
• SG Fleet contract servicing and maintaining Ergon Energy vehicles.
• Established local customer base.
• Central Townsville location.
• Strong reputation for service and quality workmanship.
• Well-equipped mechanical and diagnostic workshop.
• Hoists, scan tools, brake testing and injector-cleaning equipment in place.
• Clear scope to increase trading capacity and grow the operation.
• Ideal for an owner-operator mechanic, automotive technician or existing workshop operator.
Here is a genuine opportunity to step into a long-established Townsville automotive workshop with 29 years of trading history, an existing customer base and a practical operating setup already in place.
The business has been run on a deliberately lean model, trading Monday to Thursday from 7 am to 4 pm, with one employee alongside owner involvement. It also closes for around a month over Christmas and New Year, the week of Easter and another week later in the year.
For the right buyer, that operating model is one of the most appealing aspects of the opportunity. An incoming owner can retain the existing four-day structure and defined working hours, or use the current setup as a base to increase capacity through additional trading days, longer hours, reduced closure periods or additional staffing.
The workshop is centrally located in Townsville and well equipped for day-to-day servicing and mechanical repairs. Vehicle hoists, scan tools, brake testing, injector-cleaning equipment and a broad range of supporting workshop infrastructure are already in place, allowing a buyer to focus on operating and developing the business rather than building a workshop from scratch.
It may also appeal to an existing automotive operator looking to expand into another Townsville location or add an established workshop to their existing operations.
