Business Description
Howard Auto Clinic has been the trusted local repair shop in Howard, South Dakota since 1986. It produces $128,556 in owner cash flow and is offered for $425,000 with the building, equipment and inventory included.

Here is what that price covers: real estate valued at $215,000, equipment valued at $75,000 and about $6,000 in inventory. That leaves roughly $129,000 for the business itself, about one year of its cash flow.

For four decades, customers from Howard and the surrounding communities have relied on this shop for dependable repair and service work. It stays busy year-round on repeat customers and steady local demand, with three full-time employees already in place.

IDEAL BUYER
- A technician or service manager ready to own a shop instead of working in someone else's

Market Outlook / Competition
Since 1986, this has been a well-known, go-to repair shop for Howard and the surrounding communities, with a loyal repeat customer base and steady year-round demand. Limited direct competition in the local market supports a consistent flow of work. Vehicles keep getting older and more complex, and rural customers value a nearby shop they can trust.
Opportunities for Growth
The most immediate upside is adding another technician to increase throughput and capture more of the demand the shop already sees. Further growth is available through expanded service offerings, improved scheduling and light marketing to surrounding towns. Owning the building also gives a new owner room to invest in the facility without landlord approval.
