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.
