Competition: There are no other mechanical workshops in Cooktown, but a couple of mobile mechanics operate in the district.
In Full: This extremely busy mechanical workshop is one of the mainstays of the Cooktown district.
Supporting a huge amount of equipment, including 2 x 4-post hoists and 2 x 2-post hoists and all necessary equipment (see attached equipment schedules) the business is able to cope with virtually any work required.
Three vehicles are included in the sale.
They are a Toyota Troupe Carrier, Toyota Hilux and Hino Tilt/Slide Tow Truck with 2-car capacity.
The tow truck is painted with Cooktown auto Repairs logo and phone number, whilst the other vehicles are painted in RACQ livery with flashing lights and signage. All are fitted out with the necessary equipment required for their particular work needs.
The RACQ Agency cannot be automatically passed on to a new owner – it must be applied for – but it is thought to be highly unlikely that a new owner would not retain the contract.
RACQ Service is on-call 24/7.
Commission received annually over the last 3 years has been an average of around $40,000 for RACQ service work.
2 office computers are also included in the sale – as well as a very versatile software package called “Automation” – an industry specific package that, amongst other duties, records full customer and vehicle history.
Unfortunately ill health of one of the owners has been a contributing factor to the businesses performance over the last couple of years. At times, also, skilled staff shortages have impacted on the trading results as well as on the enthusiasm of the owners to keep working under sometimes adverse conditions.
With the recent completion of the bitumen surface from Cairns to Cooktown the township has boomed.
Prices have risen dramatically, ease of access means far more people are visiting, as well as increased numbers moving to the area to enjoy one of the last frontiers of laid-back, easy living, in North Queensland today.
