Established in October 2010, McMahon’s Truck and Trailer Parts has become a trusted name in the rural town of Charters Towers, Queensland.
With the business now on the market, it represents an exciting opportunity to take over a trusted name within the truck and trailer space.
Located around 90 minutes inland from Townsville, Charters Towers is a transport hub and a main thoroughfare for those travelling towards Mt Isa or Darwin.
McMahon’s Truck and Trailer Parts was started by Phil and Vicki McMahon.
Phil has extensive experience in trucking – both behind the wheel and in the workshop.
“I worked as a truck driver, on and off, for most of my working life,” said Phil. “I mainly drove road trains, carting livestock. Then I moved into the workshop, doing general maintenance on trucks and trailers.”
Phil explained that he opened his own truck and trailer parts business after recognising a need for such a supplier within the Charters Towers area.
“It was a big change, after going from driving and being in the workshop, but it’s been really good. The business is continuously growing. This has been a very good business for myself and my wife, with a big client base. We service companies throughout Charters Towers and the surrounding rural industries.”
While it wasn’t an easy decision to put the business he’s poured his heart and soul into over the past 14 years on the market, Phil said he knew the time was right.
“If I was younger, I would never think about selling this business, I’d definitely expand it.”
According to Phil, McMahon’s Truck and Trailer Parts makes for a perfect family business. “It would be an ideal business for a family. There is plenty of work here for at least three people,” he added.
Since first launching McMahon’s Truck and Trailer Parts, Phil says the range has grown substantially, with the business now stocking thousands of parts for trucks and trailers, as well as welding products and accessories, and Air Liquide industrial gases.
“When we first started out, we had about two shelves of stuff and two pallets on the floor – and that was it. Now we have a 9 x 30 metre shed that is absolutely packed to the brim with parts,” said Phil, adding that he has developed a very loyal customer base.
“If anyone is searching for something for their transport needs, there’s a good chance we’ll have it here.”
