DESCRIPTION
Situated in a high profile location on the main road running through the village of Dunvegan the subjects for sale offer a rare and unique business opportunity. The garage is a very well established family run business which was originally started circa. 1900 and was taken over by the present owners in 1968. They have built up a strong local customer base and are also very well situated to benefit from the high level of passing trade from the many tourists who flood to this popular location throughout the year. There is excellent potential to establish the mechanical side of the business if so required and indeed there is potential for all kinds of diversification. The present owners (who are now retiring) are members of The Scottish Motor Trade Association and provide fuel as well as acting as local agents for the sale of Calor Gas. In the past they have sold new and second hand cars and put a number of apprentices through their training.
This is an excellent business opportunity with potential to further.
LOCATION
The garage is located in the heart of this busy village close to the local shops and hotels and on the main road route through the village.

Dunvegan is some 22 miles from the capital of the Island Portree and is a pretty village with views across Loch Dunvegan and over to MacLeods Tables.
