Auto Repair & STAR Smog Check Facility; Revenue $650K+, Asking $290K,
Business Description
> Established Auto Repair Business with Strong Growth Potential
> Full-service auto repair and preventive maintenance facility with more than 20 years of operating history and a long-standing reputation for fair pricing, quality workmanship, and quick turnaround service.
> The business is strategically located near Katella Avenue in Orange at the entrance to a mixed residential and commercial community. Strong local recognition has been built through repeat customers, experienced technicians, and word-of-mouth referrals.
> Services currently include general maintenance, tune-ups, brake service, engine diagnostics and repair, transmission work, suspension repair, and specialty service for domestic and import vehicles including Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Volvo.
> The facility remains STAR-certified; however, Smog Check and Repair services are not currently being offered due to the owner's health limitations. All required equipment is in place and licenses remain active, creating an immediate opportunity for a qualified buyer to restore this high-demand service and increase revenue.
> The business occupies a highly visible corner-position unit within a well-established automotive and commercial business park. Ample parking and easy customer access are provided.
> Significant Growth Opportunity. Substantial upside is believed to exist through:
• Reinstatement of STAR Smog Check & Repair services
• Expansion to weekend operations
• Extended business hours
• Addition of technicians and service capacity
> Prior to the owner's injury, the business operated seven days per week and was recognized as one of the area's busiest independent repair facilities, staffed by six full-time employees. Operations have since been scaled back to weekdays only, creating a significant opportunity for a hands-on operator or industry buyer to restore previous performance levels.
