Portsmouth, Hampshire, ID 212332
Rare opportunity to acquire a highly regarded specialist automotive service business with multiple income streams and limited direct competition. This is a long-established and highly reputable automotive detailing and specialist vehicle care business operating across the South Hampshire and Chichester areas, combining both mobile services and a fully equipped workshop facility. The company has developed a strong and loyal customer base over many years, supported by an outstanding reputation and in excess of 1,000 verified Checkatrade reviews. Its market position is strengthened by a diverse service offering and strong repeat business from both private and commercial clients. A key differentiator is the business’s specialist capability in vehicle leak detection and flood restoration. This is a highly technical and niche area in which only a very small number of operators exist in the UK. As a result, the business benefits from reduced seasonality, with particularly strong demand during winter months when general valeting activity typically declines. In addition, the company holds a stable and ongoing commercial contract to clean plant equipment weekly for a major client located directly opposite the premises, providing dependable recurring revenue. Further income is generated through premium services including ceramic coatings, advanced detailing, and Lanoguard underbody protection, with the business being the sole provider of this treatment within a 20-mile radius, reinforcing its local competitive advantage. The business operates three mobile units on flexible lease arrangements, offering a new owner the option to continue leasing or purchase the assets outright.
