Rare opportunity to acquire the oldest and most trusted auto repair shop in a busy industrial corridor near New York City. With nearly three decades of continuous operation, loyal government fleet accounts, and over $400K in equipment included, this is a true turnkey operation with deep roots and consistent demand.

Established in 1996, this business has built a rock-solid reputation as the #1 and longest-standing repair shop in its area. Known for dependable service and integrity, the business services both everyday drivers and major institutional clients. The shop handles comprehensive car and truck repair and has become the go-to facility for several high-profile fleet accounts.

Key Financial Highlights

- Gross Revenue: $661K (cash-adjusted)

- Seller’s Discretionary Earnings (SDE): $210K (32.3% margin)

- Gross Profit Margins: Consistently strong, averaging 52.6%

Operations & Infrastructure

The shop opens at 8:00 AM and operates with a lean, efficient structure. The owner manages intake, diagnostics, parts ordering, and assists with repairs. One full-time employee supports operations, while the owner’s spouse assists with office administration and workflow coordination.

The business uses Mitchell OnDemand for invoicing, labor guides, and parts ordering, streamlining, estimating and repair processes. Operations are approximately 80% systemized, making it straightforward for a qualified buyer to step in.

The facility includes lifts, air compressor, A/C service equipment, wheel alignment equipment, and a New York State inspection machine. The shop is fully heated and air-conditioned, offering a comfortable working environment year-round.

Located across from an Amazon warehouse and surrounded by industrial buildings, the area has experienced steady growth and increased vehicle traffic in recent years.

Customer Base & Market Position

This shop is widely recognized as the oldest and most established repair facility in the area. It services:

- United States Post Office
- New York State Police
- MTA Police
- Fire Department
- Cablevision
- Local commercial and retail customers

Many of these relationships have been maintained for years through consistent quality service and reliability. Customers call for both the brand name and the owner, demonstrating strong business identity beyond just a single personality.

The business does not advertise and operates primarily on word-of-mouth and its outstanding online reputation.

Growth Opportunities

With additional staffing and focused expansion, this business has clear upside potential:

- Hire additional technicians to increase throughput and reduce owner involvement

- Expand fleet service contracts and pursue additional government accounts

- Implement light digital marketing to amplify the already strong 4.9-star reputation

- Extend hours or add weekend service to capture unmet demand

The foundation is built. With more manpower, revenue capacity can increase substantially.

Reason for Sale

The owner is retiring after nearly 30 successful years and is ready to pass the torch to the next operator.

Ideal Buyer Profile

This opportunity is ideal for an experienced mechanic, fleet-service operator, or entrepreneur looking for a stable, asset-heavy, cash-flowing automotive business with government accounts and long-standing community credibility. A hands-on operator or small auto group could significantly scale this foundation.
