About the Business
- Years in Operation
- 16
- Employees
- 3 Full-time
Experienced staff is currently in place and expected to remain with the business - Facilities & Assets
- Inventory reflects owner-reported shop supplies; not formally tracked as inventory for tax purposes.
Facilities include a one-story service and repair garage constructed in 1950, containing approximately 2,100 square feet with a reported wall height of 12 feet. - Market Outlook / Competition
- The foundation here is a durable one: a loyal customer base, a strong word-of-mouth referral pipeline, and a community reputation built over many years of consistent, quality workmanship. A new owner walks in with credibility already established.
- Opportunities for Growth
- The business currently operates with minimal marketing, relying almost entirely on organic referrals and a basic Facebook presence. That gap is an opportunity: deploying a managed online presence (Google Business Profile, targeted local advertising) represents low-cost, high-return upside from day one.
The shop is currently at capacity and turning away work, a clear signal that demand exceeds current throughput. A new owner with three bays and two mechanics has an immediate lever: optimize bay utilization, revisit labor rate positioning relative to the local market, and consider adding a third technician to fill the unused bay. The revenue upside is not speculative. It is already knocking on the door.
