Business Overview:

Great opportunity for ownership of a well-established Auto Repair Shop. This business was started by current owner 20 years ago and has steady, repeat business from its loyal customer base and commercial fleet accounts. 

This Automotive Repair Center provides comprehensive diagnostics and repair for gas and diesel vehicles across most makes and models, supported by modern shop management tools and specialized programming capabilities for vehicles.  Consistent demand, minimal advertising needs, honest service, and long-standing customer relationships contribute to steady performance and reliable cash flow.

Property Features and Assets:

The Real Estate is available for lease or purchase.

The business sits on over half an acre adjacent to a state highway and includes a 4,538 square foot building that houses 5 service bays, 4 lifts, a large reception office, inventory storage room, and employee break room; Plus, an additional 2,790 square foot separate storage building within the fenced area that provides secure parking. 

Real Estate Purchase Opportunity: The real estate is offered for sale by Murphy Business Northwest, Inc., for $550,000. Acquiring the real estate along with the business can provide considerable advantages, especially for buyers seeking bank financing and offers potential buyers an opportunity to own strategic real estate in addition to the business. Purchasing this property provides additional financial advantages by enhancing the overall investment profile through potential real estate appreciation and stability in operational costs. 

Lease Option: Should the buyer opt not to purchase the real estate, the property is available for lease at $36,000 per year, structured as a triple net lease (NNN), where the tenant is responsible for the lease rate plus taxes, insurance, utilities, CAM, operating expenses, and maintenance expenses. This lease arrangement is factored as an expense within the business's financials.

Assets = $127,500

Market Competition and Expansion:

The business operates in a market with steady demand for independent automotive repair services. A few local competitors provide general mechanical work, but the company benefits from long-standing customer loyalty and consistent referral activity. Broader industry conditions remain favorable, supported by an aging vehicle fleet and continued demand for reliable repair options outside dealership networks.

Several opportunities exist for a new owner to expand revenue and increase profit. These include extending operating hours, adding technical staff, adjusting service rates, and launching and developing the business’s online presence. The existing customer base and consistent demand provide a foundation for continued growth.
