Well Established Profitable Automotive Repair Shop

Business Overview:

This well-established, family-owned automotive repair shop has been serving its community in the Columbia River Gorge region for over 15 years. Known for its exceptional workmanship, personalized service, and deep local trust, the business has built a loyal customer base and strong referral relationships with nearby dealerships that rely on its capacity and quality.  Certified as a NAPA Auto care Center, the shop services all vehicle makes and models—including European brands—using OEM parts and offering a cost-effective, dealership-quality alternative backed by a nationwide warranty. The business is frequently recommended by local dealerships that cannot meet customer demand, underscoring its reputation and consistent overflow work. Operating from a fully equipped two-bay facility, the business generates over $700,000 in annual sales and is known for its operational efficiency and customer-first approach. It offers after-hours scheduling, expert vehicle advice, and a steady stream of repeat business. The owner is willing to provide training and transition support to ensure a smooth handoff.  This is a turnkey opportunity for a hands-on operator or investor seeking immediate cash flow, a trusted brand, and a scalable platform for growth.  

Founded over 15 years ago, the business has grown into one of the most trusted independent repair shops in its market. Long-standing relationships with customers and local dealerships have fueled consistent growth. The business thrives on repeat business and referrals, and is known for its reliability, transparency, and quality service. 

The U.S. auto repair market is a robust and growing sector, with industry estimates ranging from $90.6 billion to $183 billion in 2023. Growth is projected at 10.1% annually through 2032, driven by an aging vehicle fleet, increasing technological complexity, and the rise of EVs. Independent shops are well-positioned to benefit from Right-to-Repair legislation and consumer demand for responsive, community-based service.  Locally, this business stands out due to its dealership referrals, NAPA certification, European vehicle expertise, and strong customer loyalty. It offers a compelling alternative to dealership service centers, with faster turnaround times and personalized care. 

The business currently spends just $300/month on advertising, relying primarily on word-of-mouth and referrals. There is significant opportunity to expand its reach through digital marketing, including a website, local SEO, and a targeted billboard along a major highway. Optimizing its Google Business Profile and capturing high-intent local searches like “mechanic near me” could drive substantial new traffic.  The shop has the physical capacity to add up to three additional bays, which would allow it to meet growing demand and reduce the current wait times of 2–3 days. With strong customer volume and limited competition, the business is well-positioned for expansion and increased profitability.
