Paint Booth and Automotive Equipment Company
Business Description
If you're looking for a business with real staying power, this is it. Established in 1981, the business has cultivated a loyal customer base that keeps coming back. Automotive shops, dealerships, fleets, and industrial facilities across the Intermountain West rely on their equipment to run their businesses, so when something needs attention, they call someone they trust. That long standing trust isn't easy to replicate, and it's one of the most valuable assets a new owner walks into on day one.
This well respected company sells and installs paint booths, heavy-duty lifts, air compressors, garage exhaust systems, shop vacuum systems, and fume extraction equipment, essentially everything a shop needs to run at its best. What sets this business apart is its full service model. Operating as a licensed general contractor, they don't just drop off equipment; they manage projects from start to finish, delivering on time, on budget, and in full compliance with safety regulations and local building and fire codes. The combination of equipment sales with professional installation sets this business apart from simple distributors.
Recurring revenue is baked into the model through scheduled maintenance programs for paint booths and lifts. Consistent maintenance helps ensure customers never face an unexpected equipment failure. The business even holds a statewide cooperative contract with Utah public entities for lift inspection, service, and repair, adding a stable government revenue stream to the mix.
The seller is the founder and is pursuing the sale as part of a planned retirement. They are seeking a strategic transition and will provide training and support to ensure a smooth handoff to a qualified buyer.

About the Business
- Years in Operation
- 45
- Employees
- 23 (5 Full-time, 7 Part-time, 11 Contractors)
Subcontractors include: concrete, HVAC, electrical, fire/plumbing - Facilities & Assets
- The business operates out of a 2,450 square foot leased facility. Everything a new owner needs to hit the ground running is included in the sale - service trucks, trailers, tools and equipment, parts and inventory, and office computers.
- Market Outlook / Competition
- The market is specialized, relationship-driven, and not easily entered. Auto body shops, dealerships, fleet operations, schools, and government entities don't switch vendors casually. The barriers to competition are significant. A new entrant would need to build supplier relationships, obtain a general contractor's license, hire and train qualified installation technicians, and spend years earning the trust of customers that simply can't afford to gamble on an unproven vendor.
- Opportunities for Growth
- The current owner is at the end of a long and successful career. At 75 years old, his approach is straightforward: let the phone ring, serve the customers, and keep the operation running smoothly. It's a strategy that has worked remarkably well but it also means that growth opportunities have gone deliberately unpursued, and a new owner stands to benefit from that immediately.
For a buyer with energy, a growth mindset, and the willingness to invest in people, this business is a platform, not just a job. The foundation has been built over 45 years. The next chapter is wide open.
