With the business comes a trained, reliable team of professionals. The current staff includes certified mechanics, experienced sales personnel, and administrative support—all thoroughly versed in company procedures and customer service standards. Many team members have been with the business for years, providing continuity and deep knowledge of the customer base. This established workforce means minimal transition disruption and immediate operational capability for a new owner.
The current owner has structured the business to facilitate a smooth transition. Comprehensive documentation covers all operational aspects, from supplier relationships to customer management. The seller is committed to providing a thorough handover period, ensuring all business knowledge is effectively transferred.
For buyers without specific automotive experience, the established systems and team expertise make this an accessible opportunity, while those with industry background will immediately recognize the operational quality and financial potential.

Phil started his working career in purchasing with large and multi-national companies in Sydney.
A family relocation to Bowen in 1974 was the catalyst to owning his own business.
Phil has been in various businesses from Pest Control to Delicatessen/Takeaway and has for the last 39 years built a wholesale business that has served Bowen, Whitsundays, Mackay and the Coalfields, from 1 truck and himself to 6 trucks and 15 employees.
This has given Phil a very solid knowledge of the area from Bowen to Rockhampton and what it takes to thrive in business there.
Phil has a strong knowledge of business and business practices built through the process of growing his own business as well as time spent on State Franchise Council and dealing with the many changing government policies in those 39 years.
The process of selling his own business has shown Phil the real need for a locally based business broker, easily contacted and heavily focused on the Central Queensland area, which has led to his involvement in CQ Business Brokers.
