About the Business
- Years in Operation
- 26
- Facilities & Assets
- The business operates from a modern, purpose-built automotive facility constructed in 2014, offering approximately 8,160 square feet with 10 service bays plus a wash bay. The fully heated and air-conditioned shop features spray foam insulation, durable metal interior finishes, multiple overhead doors, and sits on roughly 1.1 acres with ample parking for customers and fleet vehicles. Conveniently located with strong regional access near major interstate routes, the facility is designed for efficient workflow and long-term operational stability.
- Market Outlook / Competition
- The business operates within a strong regional service hub supporting surrounding rural Southern Illinois communities, where reliable transportation is essential and drives consistent, year-round demand. With limited national-chain competition and strong local loyalty to established providers, the company benefits from repeat customers, referral-driven growth, and long vehicle ownership cycles that support steady maintenance and repair revenue across economic conditions.
- Opportunities for Growth
- The business is well positioned for continued growth through expanded marketing initiatives, extended service offerings, and increased service bay utilization. Opportunities exist to enhance digital presence, introduce fleet or commercial accounts, and expand preventative maintenance programs to capture additional recurring revenue. With an established reputation, modern facility, and experienced team already in place, a new owner could further scale operations by optimizing scheduling, technician capacity, and regional outreach.
