Auto Repair + Real Estate | Owner Works 3 Days/Week | No Mechanic Experience
Required
Asking Price: $1,165,000, including the business ($595,000) and the approximately 3,500-square-foot commercial property ($570,000). Seller desires to sell both together.
Rare opportunity to acquire both a respected auto repair business and the underlying real estate. After 25 successful years, the seller is preparing for retirement and looking for the right buyer to build upon the strong foundation he has created.
No mechanic experience is required. The current owner works approximately three days per week and primarily focuses on management, sales, customer relationships, and oversight of operations. While he may occasionally assist with technical matters, the experienced ASE-certified technicians perform the vast majority of the repair work. The business is not dependent on the owner turning wrenches.
Serving the community since 2000, this business has built relationships with more than 10,000 customers and earned a reputation for honest recommendations, fair pricing, and quality workmanship. The company operates from a well-maintained 5-bay facility, serves a loyal middle- to upper-middle-class customer base, and maintains approximately 20 to 30 fleet accounts.
The business has historically generated gross profit margins of approximately 70% and is supported by a stable team. Employees are compensated above industry norms and receive benefits, including a tool allowance, helping attract and retain quality technicians in a competitive labor market.
Unlike many business acquisitions that come with lease uncertainty, this opportunity includes ownership of the real estate. Located in an established area surrounded by residential neighborhoods, the property provides long-term location stability, protection from rising rents, and the opportunity to build wealth through commercial real estate ownership.
What excites us most is what has not yet been done. As retirement has approached, growth initiatives and marketing efforts have largely taken a back seat. The business currently performs very little marketing despite having relationships with more than 10,000 customers. Significant opportunities exist through expanded capacity, additional fleet work, modern digital marketing, customer retention campaigns, and operational enhancements.
Even more encouraging, 2026 results are currently outperforming 2025, suggesting positive momentum and renewed growth.
This opportunity may be ideal for an entrepreneur, manager, sales professional, military veteran, or business owner seeking a recession-resistant business with an experienced team, loyal customers, real estate ownership, and meaningful growth potential.
The seller has already built the reputation, customer base, team, systems, and facility. The next owner has the opportunity to bring fresh energy, modern marketing, and growth initiatives to an already established operation.
Robinson Realty, a licensed New York real estate brokerage, is the exclusive listing agent for the property; The Auto Repair Boss serves as the primary point of contact for all buyer inquiries and coordinates communications in an administrative capacity on behalf of the parties.
