High-Cash-Flow- Independent Auto Repair Shop- Owner is not a tech!

Established Profitable Auto Repair Shop – Strong Cash Flow, Modern Systems, Real Estate Flexibility

Established automotive repair shop serving its market since 1963, known for its loyal customer base, strong local reputation, and consistent operating performance. The business has built long-term trust through quality workmanship, transparent communication, and disciplined operating standards, resulting in steady repeat business and referrals.

The facility is well equipped with five service bays with lifts, a dedicated alignment bay, and a separate tire service area, allowing for efficient vehicle throughput and diversified service capabilities. The shop averages approximately 45 vehicles per week with an average repair order of $650–$750, supported by modern diagnostic equipment and tightly integrated systems including POS, digital vehicle inspections (DVI), CRM, and online scheduling. These systems streamline estimating, approvals, workflow management, and customer communication.

Financial performance is strong, generating approximately $1.52M in annual revenue with ~$292K in Seller’s Discretionary Earnings (19% margin). Recent operational improvements increased shop efficiency from approximately 60% to 85%, driving materially higher profitability without the need for additional fixed overhead. The business has demonstrated consistent revenue and margin stability over multiple years.

Operations are supported by an experienced, long-tenured team, and the business is not owner-dependent. The shop operates on an employee-friendly four-day workweek (Monday–Thursday), which has contributed to technician retention, productivity, and overall operational consistency.

The business maintains a strong digital footprint with an SEO-optimized website, active social media presence, and excellent online reputation, including 268 Google reviews with a 4.8-star rating. Marketing efforts generate steady inbound demand while reinforcing brand trust and visibility in the local market.

Real estate flexibility is a key advantage. The seller owns the property and is open to structuring a flexible lease for the operating business and/or discussing a future property purchase. In addition to the auto repair facility, the property includes a residential building and a separate commercial building, both currently leased and producing rental income, providing additional income potential and optional upside for a buyer interested in real estate ownership.

The seller is committed to a successful transition and is willing to remain involved post-closing as needed to support training, continuity, and customer and employee retention.

This is a turnkey opportunity well suited for an owner-operator, multi-location operator, or strategic buyer seeking a professionally run, cash-flowing automotive repair business with strong systems, excellent reputation, real estate optionality, and clear opportunities for continued growth

Competition:

Unlike many independent repair shops, this business runs on a fully integrated, technology-driven operating platform that maximizes efficiency, minimizes friction, and delivers a highly consistent customer experience. The result is a smoother operation, stronger margins, and a clear competitive edge.

Potential Growth:

Significant upside exists through adding additional technicians and increasing overall production capacity. Additional growth opportunities include extending operating hours beyond the current four-day schedule, expanding service offerings, and modest increases in marketing. Recent improvements that increased efficiency from 60% to 85% demonstrate the scalability of the operating model and its ability to support continued growth.
