Auto Parts, $19,000

Sushine Coast, QLD

 

business introduction

The Business commenced in May, 2008. It involves selling performance parts and accessories to the public, and various workshops. It is located on busy Caloundra Road, at Little Mountain. There is a Liberty Service Station located right next door with the driveway literally metres from the front door. This is open 7 days per week. To the other side of the shop, there is an Ultratune mechanical workshop with a dynomometer facility, who specialize in late model performance tuning. Bunnings Warehouse is also close by. The shop has a purpose built showroom facility, approximately 60 square metres in size, which is fitted out with stainless steel top display cases, hanging and shelving space. There is also an area of approximately 24 square metres which could be used as a workshop or similar. This space has large plate glass window frontage, which can be viewed by service station patrons. There is also an EFTPOS machine, landline, mobile phone and company utility included in the sale.

The Business has several suppliers throughout Australia. The majority of parts are bought through Australia’s largest Performance Products supplier, with whom I have negotiated a very good buy rate. The business is currently trading from Monday to Friday and Saturday mornings. Advertising is through word of mouth and Just Parts magazine, a monthly national publication. Building security is very good, with an alarm, bars over the windows, and a roller door at the front. The manager of the service station also lives in premises above the shop and service station.

There is a 3x3x3 lease agreement in place. Rent is $15,000 GST annually.

best attributes

 

Location - As previously mentioned, the shop is located on Caloundra Road, which carries a huge amount of traffic each day. It is also close by to a busy industrial area.
Reputation - More and more, people are calling in, having heard of me through word of mouth. I’ve had several reputable car builders / restorers tell me that the Business has a reputation for being well priced, honest and reliable, and that they would recommend me to others, and would be buying parts from me in the future.

Territory - The nearest competitors are located at Redcliffe and Nambour.

 
   

future potential

 

Internet - Huge potential to sell more parts both from a website, Ebay or similar. I am not financially sound enough to set up a website yet, though I know that it would be so beneficial to the business.

* Side business - Could increase sales with a side business such as engine building, fabrication, vehicle restoration, accessory fitter etc

* Advertising / Marketing - As mentioned previously, the only form of advertising has been word of mouth and parts magazine. Potential for additional advertising on radio, car shows, car magazines etc.

* Range Expansion - Potential to expand parts range. For example, accessories like those bought from Rare Spares, spoiler kits, 4 cylinder and turbo parts, etc

* Hours of Trade - I’m currently closing at 3.00pm Monday to Friday to work my second job. There are quite a few customers that have preferred to call in after work, and now can’t do so.
