Business Overview:

The current owner purchased the business in the last decade after a long career in the automotive industry. The current owner has continued to grow the business by focusing on paid marketing and developing recurring business through commercial relationships. In addition, the current owner has been able to leverage the shop’s tremendous reputation in the area to hire several experienced technicians who are up to the task of under promising and over delivering to customers.

The shop is currently STAR Test-and-Repair certified and has a license to perform California’s rigorous emissions testing protocols. Included in the sale is the license and all equipment used to perform emissions testing, including a smog check machine and a dynamometer. The shop is also highly equipped. It has 7 lifts, 9 bays, and the latest diagnostic equipment. By investing in the latest technology and equipment, the shop remains the largest and most reputable shop in the area.

The owners focus on providing high-quality, high-margin services to customers extends beyond the shop’s equipment. The master technician at the shop has been with the shop for 11 years and is ready to take on additional responsibilities under new ownership. The master technician, along with the two mechanics are experienced and keep the shop operating smoothly.

The shop has now grown into a well oiled machine itself. It’s grossed an average of over $900,000 in annual revenue over the last four, with solid cash flow to the owner. It has a strong customer base and a personalized approach to customer service with a team of 4 employees in addition to the owner. The business is pre-qualified for an SBA 7(a) loan.

The broker of record for this transaction is Jon Nesbitt, CA License #1002237

Property Features and Assets:

The facility includes 4,000 square feet of shop space with 7 lifts and 9 bays. The shop is well equipped with the latest diagnostic equipment and inspection equipment, which is included in the sale.

Market Competition and Expansion:

There are several franchises in the same area as the shop, however the shop's nearly 40-year presence in the area has allowed it to amass a loyal customer base who consistently drive new business to the shop via referrals. The one threat area is universal with auto shops: reputation makes or breaks the business. The new owner will need to be very proactive in maintaining the standards set by the current owner as it relates to customer service and attention to detail. Being relaxed on these fronts would set up the business for poor online reviews and make continuing or surpassing the current owner's success a difficult task. Customers choose the shop for its quality and customer service. The firm has a well-to-do client base that understands the value of quality work, which makes the unit economics strong and avoids having to haggle over price. This is based upon the strong trust built up by the business and allows the firm to compete against dealership service. There are a number of opportunities to grow the business. First, a buyer could invest in outside sales to drive more commercial fleet work to the business. Second, there are a number of marketing channels like paid search and CRM marketing that are not being used at all. Third, the facility has ample room to expand both in terms of enclosing the carport for additional work space as well as hiring an additional technician. Lastly, there is opportunity to grow after-market product sales such as car alarms, running boards, etc.

Reason for Selling:

Engine Rebuild and General Auto Repair Shop

Not Disclosed, TX
Dallas County

Auto repair shop for sale with high volume in a prime location engine wholesale, rebuild, and repair shop in North Dallas is now available for acquisition. This business was originally established eight years ago by the son of the current business owner in 2014. This business is in a 4,800 SF freestanding building located in the hub of a well-known city for a corridor for automotive-related repair shops. Originally, the son operated the business for the first 4-5 years, and a much more experienced and knowledgeable father took over the business in May 2019. The sales have significantly gone up since.Competition is expected for this type of business industry. Still, this business has a competitive advantage over others by importing genuine and original engines and parts offered at reasonable and affordable prices. Few other competitors have gone out of business in the immediate area. This engine wholesale business offers high-quality, genuine parts and engines imported from Japan and general automotive services such as brake, transmission, engine, and engine rebuild. This business has an established customer base and consists of individuals from the local area, out-of-state, and used auto dealerships from the surrounding area. Gross sales have been approximately $27,000/month while the son has been operating. Still, since the father took over the business in May, the sales have significantly increased to $43,000/month with minimal marketing. The 2020 and 2021 monthly gross revenue has grown to $55,000 due to the expertise, knowledge, and customer service the current owner is fully able to provide, and 2022 is projected to be a record year as the monthly sales have been growing steadily and are approximately $80,000. Currently, most customers are from word of mouth and referrals, and minimal marketing is in place. The owner is not proactively marketing the business for fear of an overwhelming workload and inability to provide quality service and timely jobs. Hiring an additional technician and implementing proactive marketing methods such as social media outlets, email marketing, web-based advertisements, direct mailing, etc., must be fully utilized to achieve maximum income potential. Marketing efforts to acquire local auto dealers' corporate accounts can also greatly improve overall sales. Many unused spaces in the office could be turned into more showroom style with engines, transmissions, and retail merchandise to advertise the products the business provides. This engine wholesale business has done very well with its groundwork and is poised for next-level growth with more proactive marketing and a tech-savvy owner. A potential buyer must be experienced and knowledgeable in this industry and put some marketing effort into promoting the business to expose itself to local customers and the online marketplace.
