Update: Auto Body Facility W/ Grandfathered Paint Booth is no longer available. We’ve included some similar active listings below that you may be interested in. You can also explore similar listings in the Automotive & Boats: Auto Body Shop, Paint Shop Industry.

Business Overview:

This offering consists of a standalone auto body business with real estate, located in one of the East Bay’s established automotive corridors. The sale includes a dedicated auto body facility of approximately 4,000–5,000 SF, fully independent from the adjacent mechanical shop.

A key asset is the city-approved, grandfathered natural gas–heated downdraft paint booth, a highly scarce entitlement in Northern California where new paint booth approvals are extremely limited. The facility is fully equipped for professional body and paint operations, including prep and sanding areas, paint mixing systems (water-based and solvent), roll-up doors, 3-phase power, LED lighting, and on-site storage.

Zoned C-2, the property benefits from long-term auto-use zoning with additional future mixed-use or residential redevelopment potential, subject to buyer verification. The location offers strong visibility, efficient vehicle flow, and excellent access to public transportation, including BART, Amtrak, ferry service, and major bus routes.

The sale includes the operating auto body business, equipment, and inventory. Operations may continue as-is or be expanded or repositioned by a new owner.

Property Features and Assets:

Approx. 4,000–5,000 SF auto body facility, grandfathered heated downdraft paint booth, prep and paint areas, paint mixing rooms, roll-up doors, 3-phase power, LED lighting, storage areas, strong vehicle access, C-2 zoning.

Market Competition and Expansion:

New auto body and paint booth permits are severely restricted in surrounding markets, creating a significant barrier to entry. Expansion opportunities include increased insurance work, customer-pay paint projects, or specialty refinishing services. Long-term redevelopment potential exists per city planning discussions (buyer to verify).

Reason for Selling:

Seller transitioning out of shop ownership after 26 years in the automotive industry. Kindly ask the seller for more information.

Additional Details:

  • The property is owned.
  • The owner is willing to train/assist the new owner.

Profitable Mobile Paintless Dent Repair Business

Not Disclosed, VA

There are also thousands of annual retail customers across the region. All told, the company has tripled its production since 2019 and there is a lot more room for growth.The business success is the result of creative systems, policies, and procedures developed to maintain organization, timeliness, cost-effectiveness, and clarity across all avenues of the business. This includes: customer service, scheduling, calendar and field management, and accounting practices. Modern systems and routines have been developed to allow technicians to spend less time on the phone and less time doing paperwork, which translates to more time in the field with tools in hand doing what they do best. The business owner has also invested in marketing and advertising efforts over the years to increase awareness of the business and its services.The systems and procedures will help enable a smooth transition to the next owner. The final and most important part of the equation is the people as the business has some of the highest producing technicians in the industry. There is an extremely low turnover rate with some team members who have been on board since day one. The owner takes pride in having well-rounded employees who are skilled in the various aspects of the trade including: retail, wholesale, body shop, and hail work.
