Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to be a qualified mechanic to buy a workshop?

Not always. Some owners run the business while qualified staff do the work, but you need to be confident you can keep your key technicians. Your broker can help you assess this.

What’s usually included in the sale?

It varies, but typically the equipment, goodwill and business name, with stock usually paid for separately at settlement. Your broker will confirm exactly what’s included in each listing.
