This well-established auto repair shop has been serving its community for decades and has built a reputation for honest, reliable work and 5-star customer service. It holds a near-perfect rating across hundreds of online reviews, which is rare in the auto repair industry. Loyal repeat customers include individual drivers and local commercial accounts that rely on the shop for fleet maintenance and repairs.
The shop handles everything from oil changes to transmission repair for most makes and models. The underlying real estate is available, so a buyer can acquire both the operating business and the property.
Industry-standard shop management software handles customer records, estimates, service tickets, and parts ordering, and more than 40 common services have standard pricing, with everything else quoted from a set hourly labor rate. The shop keeps inventory lean by stocking the basics and ordering other parts job by job through strong supplier relationships, which holds overhead down.
Two experienced full-time technicians handle all service work, and one of them could take on part of the office operations. Recently added lifts bring the shop to five total, leaving space for more technicians and more vehicles. The shop stays busy with very little marketing, so a new owner has a clear opportunity to bring in more customers. Nearby shops also send work back and forth, and the current owner would like to see these relationships continue. The owner currently serves as office manager by choice, handling quotes and customer checkout.
This is a good fit for an owner-operator, an experienced mechanic or shop manager moving into ownership, or a buyer looking to add a service business to their portfolio.
