Established in 2021, this thriving Tennessee-based automotive repair and performance shop has rapidly built a loyal customer base and a sterling reputation for quality workmanship in a market starved for dependable, skilled auto service. Operating Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM, the business delivers a comprehensive suite of automotive repair and performance services handled by a tight-knit, highly capable team. Despite its lean staffing model of just two employees, the shop consistently produces gross revenues of approximately $1.245 million annually — a testament to the operational efficiency and technical excellence that defines this business.
About the Business

- Facilities & Assets
The business operates from a well-maintained facility totaling approximately **5,500 square feet**, purpose-built and ideally configured for a full-service automotive repair and performance operation. The space is thoughtfully laid out to support efficient workflow across multiple service bays, providing ample room for both routine maintenance and more complex performance and mechanical work.- Market Outlook / Competition
- The U.S. automotive repair and maintenance industry is a recession-resilient, essential-services sector generating over **$115 billion in annual revenue**, with consistent year-over-year growth driven by an aging vehicle fleet, rising new car prices, and a growing consumer preference for maintaining existing vehicles longer. According to IBISWorld and the Auto Care Association, the average age of vehicles on U.S. roads has climbed to a record **12.6 years**, directly fueling demand for skilled, trustworthy auto repair shops. Independent shops like Inspired Automotive & Performance benefit disproportionately from this trend, as consumers increasingly seek personalized, relationship-driven service over the impersonal experience of dealership service centers.
- Opportunities for Growth
- 1. Extended Operating Hours
The shop currently operates Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM, leaving Saturday — one of the busiest days for consumer automotive services — entirely uncaptured. Introducing Saturday hours, and potentially limited Sunday or evening availability, could drive an estimated 15–25% increase in service volume with minimal additional overhead, particularly given the existing facility capacity within the 5,500 sq. ft. building.

### 2. Workforce Expansion
With only two employees currently on staff, the business is lean by design — which contributes to the impressive net-to-owner of approximately $494,000 on $1,245,000 in gross revenue. However, this also means growth has been intentionally constrained. Hiring one or two additional certified technicians would allow the shop to take on more vehicles simultaneously.
