Super Opportunity to be a Owner not just a Auto Tech!!
Business Description
The Opportunity:
Are you an experienced lead auto technician ready to stop making money for someone else and step into ownership? This is your chance to acquire a fully equipped, turnkey auto repair shop for a fraction of what it would cost to start from scratch.
The History:
I started this shop from the ground up in 2013 with zero customers. Through hard work, we built a fantastic, loyal clientele. At our peak (2015–2023), operating with a full crew of 3 technicians, a manager, a counter person, and a helper, the shop consistently generated around $800,000 in gross annual revenue with approximately $90,000 in net profit.
The Situation:
A few years ago, I successfully sold the business and stepped away. Unfortunately, the buyer was unable to manage the operation, and I recently took the shop back to keep the doors open and stabilize the business. I am currently running it with a skeleton crew (1 tech, 1 manager/counter, 1 helper) because I am ready to fully retire. Because I do not have the last two years of clean, full-staff financial records to show, I have aggressively priced this as an Asset Sale.
What is Included:
The $65,000 asking price covers the tangible and intangible assets. You get a fully functional shop with all heavy equipment, lifts, compressors, specialty diagnostic tools, and current parts inventory (a detailed equipment list will be provided to serious buyers). You are also inheriting a well-known local brand, phone number, and an established customer database built over the last decade.
The Deal & Financing:
I want to see this shop succeed in the hands of the right owner. I am offering this for a flat $65,000. To help the right buyer get in the door, I am willing to offer seller financing: $40,000 cash down, and I will hold a note for the remaining $25,000 to be paid monthly over a short, negotiated term.
Don't let inflation eat your paycheck—invest in yourself and step into a shop that has a proven history of high volume and profitability!
