Business Description
Opportunity To Acquire Family Owned, High-End Auto Shop In Florida
3-Year Average Cashflow = $286,669
BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
Opportunity To Acquire Family Owned, High-End Auto Shop In Florida
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a well-established, high-end auto shop in Florida with a rich legacy dating back to the 1960s.
The business’s strong reputation, specialized capabilities, and loyal customer base make for a strong and profitable foundation for the Future Owner.
The company maintains an Average Repair Order (ARO) that is 30% above market per car in Florida due to the specialized work the Auto Shop completes.
For labor, the Company is able to generate this revenue while charging 30-50% less on labor-costs when compared to local dealerships in the area.
For optimization, the Company only works during the weekdays at the moment. There is an opportunity to add weekend hours with an expanded staff to increase revenue.
With additional optimization and marketing, this shop can continue to maintain strong profitability and serve its loyal customer base.
There is potential to capture upside starting Day 1 on an already profitable company.
