40-Yr Turnkey Collision Repair Business & Real Estate
Business Description
Classic Collision Specialists is a fully equipped, turnkey auto body and collision repair business located in Cherokee County, Georgia, offered for sale together with the real property at $1,500,000. Established in 1985, this 40-year operation represents one of the most established independent collision repair businesses in the greater Atlanta metro market. The business and real estate are being sold as a package — the seller will not separate the two.
The business operates out of a 7,500 square foot brick and metal industrial building on a 1.33-acre lot, owned free and clear with no lease risk. The facility is three-phase wired, LED lit, and features skylights, a comprehensive security camera system, and an expansive paved yard with ample parking and outdoor storage. The building was purpose-built for collision repair and has been maintained and improved by the same owner since construction in 2005.
Equipment included in the sale: Blow Therm downdraft paint booth (being refurbished — fully operational at closing), twin 225 HP three-phase air compressors, two frame machines, two lifts, computerized color-matching camera, in-house solvent recycling system, Freon recovery machines, bench tables, wall cabinets, and 220V drops at every column. Approximately $75,000 in consumable paint and supply inventory also available.
The business holds active Direct Repair Program relationships with State Farm and Travelers — transferable, insurance-backed referral pipelines that deliver immediate revenue. CCC One estimating and Parts Trader are fully installed and operational. The business subcontracts ADAS calibration and paintless dent repair, both billed to insurance at a 25% markup — meaningful upside if brought in-house.
Recent revenue trends reflect the owner's intentional wind-down ahead of retirement, not a deterioration of business fundamentals. DRP relationships, equipment, systems, customer list, and 40 years of community reputation transfer with the sale. A motivated operator could begin recapturing volume immediately upon taking possession.
Cherokee County is one of Georgia's fastest-growing counties, driving increasing demand for collision repair services. For a multi-shop operator or PE-backed consolidator, this is immediate plug-and-play integration — no lease, no landlord risk, no capital required to equip the shop. Transition training and post-sale consulting available.
NDA required prior to release of financials. Qualified buyers vetted prior to site visit. Contact listing broker to begin the process.

Wren's Collision of Canton - Opportunities for Growth
- Cherokee County is one of Georgia's fastest-growing counties, creating expanding demand for collision repair services. A motivated buyer can immediately restore full production capacity, as the current owner has been intentionally winding down ahead of retirement — revenue trends reflect an owner stepping back, not a business in decline. Additional DRP relationships, including carriers the current owner declined, represent untapped referral volume with no marketing spend required. The shop currently subcontracts ADAS calibration and paintless dent repair, both marked up 25% — bringing either in-house converts that margin to pure revenue. Existing equipment supports a much larger workforce with no additional capital investment. For a multi-shop operator, this turnkey facility on owned real estate in a high-growth Atlanta suburb offers immediate network integration and long-term platform value.
