26-Year Established Auto Repair Business + Real Estate | $468K Revenue
Business Description
Imagine owning a business that practically runs itself after 26 years of building trust in the community. This isn't just any auto repair shop, it's the kind of place where customers become friends and referrals happen naturally.
You'll inherit something truly special here: perfect 5-star ratings across every platform that matters, CARFAX, Google, Yelp, and Nextdoor. Your customers will already trust you before they even meet you, thanks to decades of honest work and fair pricing that's built this shop's sterling reputation.
The current owner is retiring after pouring his heart into this business, and it shows. You'll have ASE-certified mechanics who know their craft, a loyal customer base that keeps coming back, and the kind of word-of-mouth reputation that money can't buy. Every repair comes with a solid 1-month/1,000-mile guarantee – that's how confident you can be in the work.
Your services will span everything from basic oil changes to complex engine repairs, covering all the major brands your community drives. But here's where it gets interesting, you'll also have a growing diesel truck specialty that sets you apart from typical competitors.
The numbers tell a reassuring story: $468,337 in gross revenue with $90,716 in owner earnings. You'll get $50,000 worth of lifts, tools, and diagnostic equipment included at $295,000 for the business.
Additional opportunity: you can also own the 2,200 square foot building and 0.61-acre lot for a combined $690,000. Picture never worrying about rent increases or difficult landlords again. The location offers excellent visibility on a busy commercial corridor with plenty of parking.
SBA financing makes this accessible with just 10% down, and the owner will personally help you transition smoothly with employees, customers, and suppliers. This is your chance to step into an established business where the hardest work, building trust and reputation, has already been done for you.

About the Business
- Years in Operation
- 6
- Employees
- 3 Full-time
- Facilities & Assets
- Multi-bay automotive service facility, 2,200 SF commercial building on 0.61 acres with professional vehicle lifts, full diagnostic equipment, and all shop tools and infrastructure. $50,000 in FF&E included. Business and real estate are offered exclusively as a combined package at $690,000
- Market Outlook / Competition
- Despite this competitive landscape, this business holds a demonstrably superior position. While most competitors have mixed reviews reflecting inconsistent service quality, this shop carries a perfect 5-star rating across CARFAX, Google, Yelp, and Nextdoor, the only shop in the local market with that distinction. Its 26-year operating history, ASE-certified mechanics, diesel truck repair specialty, and reputation for honest pricing at fair rates represent significant barriers to replication that no new entrant or franchise can manufacture quickly. The shop's "hidden gem" community status, built entirely through word-of-mouth rather than advertising, suggests meaningful untapped growth potential for a new owner willing to invest in digital marketing and visibility.
- Opportunities for Growth
- This automotive shop enters the market with a significant structural advantage: a 26-year reputation built entirely on word-of-mouth, with zero investment in marketing. For a new owner, this represents a rare opportunity to layer modern growth strategies onto an already-proven foundation.
Digital Presence & Lead Generation
The business currently has no active website, no social media presence, and no paid advertising, yet maintains a perfect 5-star rating across four review platforms. A new owner investing in a basic Google Business optimization, a simple website with online appointment booking, and a targeted Google Ads campaign ($500–$1,000/month) could meaningfully grow new customer volume without touching the shop's existing loyal base. In a market where competitors actively advertise, this shop wins on reputation alone, adding visibility amplifies that advantage significantly.
