Sale of 4WD property has some pulling power
A BOOMING after market fourwheel-drive modification industry could provide real opportunities for a buyer with the right skillset.
Longstanding and innovative vehicle repair and customisation business operating as Trinity Smash Repairs and RWV Conversions has just hit the market at Parramatta Park with Collier Cairns.
Trinity Smash Repairs started in 1994 and their main job was converting left hand drive Chevys to right hand drive. In 1997 they diversified and began conversions on Landcruiser wagons to dual cab utes and the business took off. Colliers marketing agent Stacey Quaid said these days rural landowners wanted more than the regular offthe-shelf vehicles.
“The company now offers conversions on the whole range of Patrol and Landcruiser vehicles as well as drop side trays for utes,” he said.
“They have also been contracted to build and supply mine approved trays and have produced (rollover protection structures) tray bodies and a range of equipment for the special needs of the rural, off roading and mining industries.”
Mr Quaid said after a lifetime in the trade owner Gerry Hill had plans to retire.
“Not only is the business for sale, due to impending retirement, the premises the company operates from is also for sale,” Mr Quaid said.
“An intending buyer has the option to lease the current premises, buy or even relocate.
“The freehold is 809sq m and is securely fenced.
“The property has a five bay workshop, plus dedicated office space and mezzanine storage as well.”
Mr Quaid said Mr Hill was looking for someone to take the business at 232 Severin Street, Parramatta Park to another level.
“This property and business would suit the continuation of its current operations as the sale includes
all plant and equipment, spray booth,” he said.
And intellectual property plus certified plans and tools were included in the sale.
“This is a great opportunity to take an established and recognised business and product to a wider market and potentially the next level,” he said.
The sale would include a handover period and the necessary training to ensure the new owner can capitalise on the benefits of the long established existing business.
