Business Description
Since 1984, 40+ Parking, Mechanical Repairs, Tire/Brake, Tune-Ups etc.
The Journey of a Four-Decade Auto Repair Legacy

Back in 1984, when Ronald Reagan was president and the automotive industry was experiencing a revolution, a visionary entrepreneur opened the doors to what would become one of Los Angeles County's most enduring auto repair success stories. Nearly four decades later, this family-owned powerhouse stands as a testament to unwavering dedication, community trust, and the American dream of building something lasting.

From Humble Beginnings to Industry Leader

What started as a modest repair shop has evolved into a 6,000 square foot automotive fortress, strategically positioned in the City of Industry's bustling trade corridor. The founder's commitment to excellence transformed a simple vision into a comprehensive operation featuring 7 professional lifts, a dedicated alignment bay, and specialized tire/brake services. The expansion to include 40+ parking spaces wasn't just about capacity—it was about welcoming fleet customers and serving the community's growing needs.

Building Trust, One Customer at a Time

For 40 years, this shop has been the neighborhood's automotive guardian angel. Generations of families have trusted their vehicles to skilled hands that understand both classic engines and modern technology. The business has weathered economic storms, adapted to industry changes, and maintained its reputation through consistent, honest service. With annual sales of approximately $910,000 and seller-stated SDE of $120,000(including $30k+ cash income not included in the book), the numbers tell only part of the story—the real value lies in decades of cultivated relationships and community goodwill.

The Next Chapter Awaits

As the owner approaches retirement, this isn't just a business sale—it's the passing of a torch. The new owner will inherit more than equipment and customer lists; they'll receive a legacy of trust, a proven system, and endless potential for growth. With a Google rating of 4.0/5 stars and CARFAX recognition at 4.9/5, there's a solid foundation to build upon, plus opportunities to enhance service consistency and digital presence.

Your Opportunity to Continue the Story

Priced at $350,000 with FF&E included, this turnkey operation offers immediate cash flow and long-term growth potential. The current lease runs approximately 3 years at $12,709/monthly, providing stability during transition. Whether you're an experienced automotive professional or an entrepreneur seeking a proven business model, this is your chance to write the next chapter of this remarkable success story.

The tools are ready, the customers are waiting, and the legacy is yours to continue and enhance.

Market Outlook / Competition
Healthy buyer demand and steady car-repair need in SGV: aging vehicles and population density keep bays full. Labor is tight, but local shops commonly bill above $120/hr—our $100/hr rate leaves pricing upside. Competition includes nearby independents and chains; this shop competes on capacity (7 lifts, 6,000 SF), 40 + parking, rental-car permit, and alignment/tire/brake line. Near-term wins: add Smog Check, raise rate gradually, turn on marketing/CRM, pursue fleet/rental to lift ARO and throughput.
Opportunities for Growth
1. Add Smog Check (buyer to apply) to capture steady, cross-sellable traffic.
2. Optimize labor rate (currently ~$100/hr) to local comps ($120~$160/hr) while maintaining value perception.
3. Turn on marketing & CRM (Google/Meta/Nextdoor, review drives, service reminders)—currently minimal outbound marketing.
4. Increase capacity by extending hours and/or adding techs (presently ~6 days/week, ~10 hours/day).
5. Leverage rental-car permit and 40+ parking to add a rental line and pursue fleet accounts for incremental business opportunity.
