I'm selling my renowned Fleetwood garage after serving community for 40 years - here's why
A renowned Fleetwood garage is on the market for the first time in more than 40 years.
John Jenkinson Car Sales, located on Station Road, was established in 1982 by experienced mechanic John Jenkinson.
The garage offers a wide range of services including used vehicle sales, MOT testing, servicing, diagnostics, mechanical repairs, and classic car sales.
Over the years, the businesses has maintained a loyal customer base and long‑standing presence in the town, operating as a full-service automotive centre supported by a skilled team and modern facilities.
The garage occupies a prominent position on a busy roundabout connecting the A587 with key local routes, and is on the market for £1.3m.
John Jenkinson said it is now time for ‘someone new to takeover’ and said a sale would allow him to retire.
He explained: "The garage primarily operates as a service centre, but also offers car sales and vehicle repairs.
“We conduct around 15 MOTs per day and provide full air‑conditioning services alongside all types of mechanical repairs. Our location is a major advantage, as we are situated on a busy street surrounded by a wide mix of established businesses. A new darts and sports venue has also opened next door, bringing in additional footfall.
"We have traded from this location since 1982, building a strong reputation and a loyal customer base over more than four decades.
“As I am now looking to retire, the time has come for someone new to take over. There is clear potential to grow the business further, including extending weekend opening hours and expanding the range of services offered. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with fresh ambition to build on a long‑established and successful operation."
The sale of John Jenkinson Car Sales is being managed by Steve Riley, business agent – retail at Christie & Co, who added: "After more than 40 years serving the local community, this business has become a trusted name in Fleetwood.
“With its prime location, strong reputation and multiple revenue streams, it now offers an exceptional opportunity for a new owner to take it forward and unlock the next phase of growth."
