Freehold option £499,999 +SAVLeasehold option £189,999 +SAV Hilton Smythe welcomes to the market Lloyds Garage Ltd. Lloyds Garage is an iconic business to the inhabitants of Stourport and the surrounding towns and villages having been established in 1925. The business occupied a prominent site in Stourport town centre close to the bridge but relocated seven years ago when the local council purchased the site. In the event, the move to a much more practical and modern building in a great location has proven successful and lucrative. All the business’s original customers followed to the new site and the business has also generated many new customers who use the services provided on a regular basis. This great family business has been passed from generation to generation and is now reluctantly being sold only so that the current owner can enjoy a well-earned retirement. Lloyds Garage aims to be a ‘one stop shop’ for all motorists needs and offers the following services: Class 4 & 7 MOTsRepairs on all makes and modelsBrakes, pads discs, shoes, cylinders etc.Steering, racks, links, track rod ends etc.Suspension, shock absorbers, springs, ball joints etcClutches, cover, plate and bearing replacement Electronics, fault code reading for most makes and systemsGeneral servicing on all makes and modelsExhausts.
