Business Description

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a rapidly growing heavy-duty truck & trailer repair business generating over $2.1M in annual revenue, with approximately $500K in normalized Seller’s Discretionary Earnings (SDE) after adjusting for owner-related expenses and non-recurring costs.

The business reached full operational capacity in 2024 following final zoning approvals in late 2023 and has already demonstrated strong traction in both revenue growth and customer demand. A key differentiator is its built-in, recurring revenue stream from an affiliated trucking operation managing approximately 50 trucks, which accounts for roughly 35% of total revenue. This creates a reliable baseline of work while still leaving significant room for expansion through third-party customers.

Industry Demand & Market Opportunity

The truck and trailer repair industry is experiencing sustained demand, particularly across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions, where freight movement is dense and ongoing. With the continued growth of logistics, e-commerce, and long-haul transportation, commercial fleets require constant maintenance, compliance repairs, and fast turnaround times to stay on the road.

In this region specifically, there is a notable shortage of well-equipped, high-capacity repair facilities that can handle volume efficiently. Many operators face:

Long wait times for service
Limited bay availability
Inconsistent service quality
Lack of scalable, professional operations

This has created a strong opportunity for well-run repair businesses to capture market share quickly, maintain repeat customers, and build long-term fleet relationships.

Operations

The business currently operates with a team of 4 full-time technicians, with active plans to expand staffing to meet existing demand. Even at its current size, the shop is producing over $2M in revenue, indicating strong utilization and operational efficiency.

Importantly, the business is not demand-constrained — it is capacity-constrained.

Growth Opportunity

The primary growth lever is straightforward and highly actionable:

Expand into a larger facility with additional bays and parking
Increase technician headcount (currently in progress)
Capture overflow demand already present in the market

With these changes, there is a clear and realistic path to significantly scaling revenue, with internal projections supporting the potential to double current output under the right conditions.

Additional upside includes:

Expanding service offerings
Increasing marketing and digital presence
Securing additional fleet contracts
Extending operating hours

Key Highlights
Over $2.1M in annual revenue
Approximately $500K SDE (normalized)
35% recurring revenue from internal fleet
Strong third-party customer demand
Clean operation (no salvage/junk work)
Fully operational with permits and infrastructure in place
Immediate scalability with space and staffing

Facility & Transition

The current location is space-limited, which is the primary constraint on growth. The business is actively seeking a larger facility to support expansion. A buyer will have the opportunity to either:

Relocate and scale operations significantly, or
Optimize within a similar footprint depending on strategy

Ideal Buyer

This opportunity is well-suited for:

Owner-operators with mechanical or industry experience
Existing repair shop owners seeking expansion
Fleet operators looking to internalize maintenance
Strategic buyers pursuing a roll-up in the truck service space

This is a high-demand, essential service business with strong fundamentals, built-in revenue, and a clear path to scale. The groundwork has been laid — the next owner can step in and immediately capitalize on both existing cash flow and significant unmet demand in the market.
