A three-generation family-owned garage in West Lothian, Hunters of Linlithgow, is now up for sale. The garage, which also serves as a car servicing and MOT Centre, has been a part of the Hunter family since its establishment in 1934. Specialist business property advisor Christie & Co is managing the sale of the business, located in an industrial estate west of Linlithgow town centre.
Christie & Co highlighted that Hunters of Linlithgow benefits from a loyal local customer base as well as trade from commuters on the nearby M9 motorway. Over the years, the garage has received awards for its exemplary services, covering MOT testing, diagnostics, tyres, and servicing. It specialises in Volkswagen Audi group cars, EV vehicles, and hybrid vehicles.
The business premises comprise two workshop garages, a tracking bay, a two-storey office building, and a tyre centre attached to the main property. Current owners John and Mairi Hunter have successfully managed the business for the past 24 years and are now looking to sell as they plan for retirement. Liam Bain from Christie & Co, overseeing the sale, described it as a rare opportunity to acquire a highly profitable business equipped with top-notch auto-care technology and experienced staff providing exceptional customer service.
The full site spans 0.54 acres and offers a substantial freehold purchase opportunity alongside the thriving business. Situated in the central belt of Scotland, the garage has a large customer catchment area and easy access to major motorways, making it strategically located for continued success.
In conclusion, the sale of Hunters of Linlithgow marks the end of an era for the three-generation family-owned business. The garage’s legacy of quality service and strong community ties will undoubtedly be remembered by customers and employees alike.
