Business For Sale. Auto Valet - Garden Route

This auto valet business was established in August 2009 in this Garden Route Town. Being the only business focussing on valet services in town, the business is fulfilling in a much needed requirement amongst vehicle owners and dealers.

The business is located in the industrial area and is owner operated and equipped to do valets on any kind of car, truck and 4 x 4 vehicle. The vehicles are left at this business for a whole day while all seats are removed and carpets removed as far as possible to be cleaned and steam cleaned. They also buff out small scratch marks.


The turnover is combined from car re-sales as well as car valet services.

The owner will hand over the business and introduce the buyer to the regular client base. A handover period of one week should be sufficient.

The ideal owner should be a young or retired person who is service orientated and preferably know the vehicle market. A large sum of the turnover for the period March to May 2010 was generated from car re-sales (total R116,000). These opportunities become available very often and most of the time the vehicle only needs a good valet which immediately add up to R20,000 value to the vehicle.

The owner therefore concentrates on vehicles which are in fairly good condition mechanically and do not need much work to bodywork.

This business can generate good extra income should the owner be prepared to walk the extra mile for his customers. The owner personally collects and delivers vehicles to the customers to ensure personal contact with the client.

Proper systems are in place and the business is easy to manage.

No advertising has been done and the new owner should do a bit of marketing to expand the client base. The business has a high asset value.
