Auto Shop Doing $850K/Yr, $180K to Owner | SBA Ready
Business Description
High-Cash-Flow Auto Repair Shop | $180K SDE | SBA Pre-Qualified, ~10% Down | Scalable to $1M+Established, highly profitable independent shop in the greater Columbia, SC market with a dominant local reputation, consistent 5-star feedback, and strong repeat clientele driving steady inbound demand.
Generating approximately $850K in revenue with $180K in Seller's Discretionary Earnings — and 2026 is pacing ahead of last year through five months of actuals, with prior performance supporting $1M+ in revenue.Here's what sets this listing apart: the financing groundwork is already done. The business has been through SBA underwriting and is pre-qualified with a national SBA lender. A qualified buyer can acquire it with approximately 10% down (~$36K), draw a salary from day one, and service the loan comfortably from existing cash flow. Most listings ask buyers to take the numbers on faith — these financials have already been examined by a lender, and every addback is documented in writing by ownership.The pricing power is proven, not promised: the labor rate was recently increased ~20% to $165/hour with no impact on demand. The shop remains fully booked and capacity-constrained — this business is not demand-limited, with thousands of customers and consistent inbound workflow, and a clear path back to $1M+ by adding technicians.Operates from a 4-bay facility with exceptionally low rent of just $2,000/month and 7 years remaining on the lease with a cooperative landlord. Includes approximately $160K in well-maintained, turnkey equipment: newer tire machine (~$35K), alignment system and rack ($90K+), diagnostic scan tools (~$10K), A/C machines, balancer, and additional specialty equipment.This is a team-driven, highly transferable operation: roughly 90% of revenue is generated by staff. The owner, an ASE master technician, performs less than 10% of the work and focuses on oversight and quality. His wife handles light front-desk duties part time — a role easily absorbed by a new owner, family member, or affordable part-time hire.Sellers are committed to a smooth, hands-on transition. Opportunities with proven earnings, staff in place, real pricing power, and pre-built financing do not surface often — and with the lending path established, the first qualified buyer can move to LOI while others are still waiting on their bank.Confidential sale. NDA required for identifying details; proof of funds required prior to seller introduction.
