Business Overview:
Established in 1959, this turnkey collision repair and auto body business is offered together with its owned, purpose-built real estate for $2,200,000. The company generates $2.1M in annual revenue with $465,000 in cash flow (SDE), backed by more than 65 years of continuous local ownership and repeat/referral business in West Virginia's Eastern Panhandle, within the greater Washington DC / Northern Virginia commuter corridor. The shop offers full-service collision repair, auto body work, refinishing, structural repair, and dent removal, supported by a tenured six-person team including an office manager (~20 years), a painter assistant (~35 years), and a painter (~15 years). Revenue splits roughly 90% retail / 10% commercial, with a standing six-week backlog and an average job size near $7,000. The current owner works about 35 hours a week and will provide up to six months of training, plus ongoing consulting on DRP relationships and customer/vendor continuity. Growth opportunities include signing Direct Repair Program agreements, expanding insurance referrals, growing commercial/fleet accounts, and building a digital marketing presence. Reason for sale: owner is retiring.
Property Features and Assets:
<p>Owned, purpose-built 6,700 sq. ft. collision repair facility included in the asking price at an $800,000 value, with drive-in repair bays and secure storage for vehicles in progress. Approximately $150,000 in FF&E conveys, including two automotive paint booths, a frame rack/straightening system, vehicle lift systems, industrial air compressors, MIG/TIG welding equipment, paint mixing and refinishing systems, diagnostic scanners, and shop workstations. Operations run on CCC estimating/shop management software with QuickBooks for accounting.<br></p>
Market Competition and Expansion:
<p>One of only six major body shops serving a rapidly growing Eastern Panhandle market, with decades of community trust driving demand and minimal marketing spend. Demand exceeds capacity — a standing six-week backlog with jobs reaching up to $15,000. Key growth levers: signing Direct Repair Programs (DRPs, the largest near-term opportunity), expanding insurance referral relationships, growing commercial/fleet accounts (currently ~10% of revenue), building digital marketing with before/after repair galleries, and adding technicians to reduce the backlog.<br></p>
