    Independent Automotive Service Centre in Blackburn, Lancashire for sale

    Blackburn, Lancashire

    £350,000Leasehold
    Turnover: £375,598£7,223 per week
    Profit: £48,907(ROI 14% · Payback 7.16 years)

    Highly Respected Independent Automotive Service Centre in Lancashire Starling Corporate is proud to present a truly outstanding opportunity to acquire a well-established, award-winning automotive service centre in Lancashire — a business built over many years and deeply trusted within its local community. With the current owners retiring, this is a rare chance for a new owner to take the wheel of a business already performing at full throttle. The asking price of £350,000 reflects not only strong, consistent earnings but also a substantial asset base included in the sale — an on-site Class 4 MOT testing station, a fully equipped workshop, and dealer-level diagnostic equipment covering all major manufacturers. The figures speak for themselves: £323,930 in revenue for 2025, with an adjusted net profit of £48,907. What truly sets this business apart is its hybrid and EV servicing capability — a rapidly growing market where qualified independent competition remains scarce. Beyond that, the centre offers a genuinely comprehensive range of services: advanced diagnostics, DPF and carbon cleaning, wheel alignment, auto electrics, and specialist work on vans, motorhomes, fleet vehicles, and classic cars. This is an operationally mature business, ready for a new owner to step in and hit the ground running from day one. There is also considerable headroom for growth — from fleet and commercial contracts to expanding into premium services such as ADAS calibration, alongside investment in local SEO and paid search to attract new customers from across Lancashire. With a trusted name, a strong asset base, and genuine growth potential, this is a rare opportunity not to be missed.
