Own Your Own Auto Repair Shop|50-Yr Business
From Mechanic to Owner: Auto Shop for Sale
If you have ever dreamed of running your own auto repair shop and being your own boss, this is your chance. This respected auto business has earned its name through more than 50 years of trusted service, expert diagnostics, and word-of-mouth referrals. Located along a high-traffic corridor in northwest Fort Worth and Azle, the shop offers excellent visibility, steady daily traffic, and easy access to nearby neighborhoods and commuter routes.
The owner, known locally as a master at diagnostics and problem-solving, is preparing to retire and is looking for a hands-on successor who will carry on his legacy of honest, precise work. This is not a passive investment. It is a rare opportunity for a skilled mechanic to take the wheel of a profitable, community-rooted shop with loyal customers, equipment, and reputation already in place.
What You Will Get:
- Fully equipped bays, lifts, and diagnostic tools included and ready to operate on day one
- Steady customer base built purely on trust, repeat business, and reputation
- Prime highway frontage in a growing area with strong residential development nearby
- SBA loan eligible. Own it with as little as approximately $80,000 down, with payments supported by proven cash flow
- Up to 30 days of transition training, extendable by agreement, including introductions to long-time clients
- Real estate available for purchase or lease
- Annualized revenue of $653,574 and SDE of $201,208, supported by a professional third-party valuation with a $906,000 median
All essential furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E) necessary for daily operations will convey with the sale. The shop layout is efficient, clean, and supports excellent workflow, with a comfortable reception area for customers.
Why It Is Special:
Unlike starting from scratch, this business already has the brand equity, relationships, and community trust that take decades to build. The seller is not just looking for a buyer. He is looking for the right person to uphold his standard of craftsmanship and service. He will personally help you learn operations, introduce you to customers, and ensure a seamless handoff.
Growth Opportunities:
- Extending service hours or adding weekend availability
- Hiring additional technicians to meet steady demand
- Offering fleet services, alignments, or additional repair categories
- Expanding online presence and digital marketing
The seller intentionally kept operations small and personal, not for lack of demand but out of pride for quality and control. With the infrastructure and customer base already in place, a motivated operator can scale quickly.
This business is perfect for:
- A skilled mechanic or technician ready to step into ownership
- Someone tired of working for others and ready for financial independence
- A hands-on operator with around $90,000 liquid (for an SBA loan down payment) who values integrity, precision, and long-term relationships
Whether you are a talented technician ready to own your first shop or a growth-minded operator seeking to expand, this opportunity offers the foundation, reputation, and location to thrive.
Key Highlights:
- 50+ years of operations and community trust
- Prime visibility along a major traffic corridor
- Loyal customers and consistent repeat work
- Strong SDE supporting SBA financing
- Real estate optional (purchase or lease)
- Equipment, lifts, and diagnostic tools included
- Transition support from retiring owner
- Expansion potential in a fast-growing area
