Established & Profitable Automotive Modification Shop in Miami — Turnkey Operation with Grandfathered Zoning.
Well-established wheel, tire, and suspension modification shop with $1,372,448 in 2024 revenue and $1.29M in 2025, generating 2024 Seller's Discretionary Earnings (SDE) of $305,046 with documented add-backs. Priced at $650,000 — 2.13x the 2024 SDE, at the low end of the industry's typical 2.0x–3.0x range — this is one of the most competitively priced automotive businesses available in South Florida.
WHY THIS BUSINESS STANDS OUT:
- Consistent seven-figure revenue across 4 consecutive years, with gross margins improving from 32.5% to 50.9% — clear operational maturity and pricing power.
- Grandfathered automotive zoning in Miami-Dade County: a designation that is extremely difficult to obtain today, creating a real barrier to new competitors.
- Recently renewed, executed lease on a 4,000+ sq ft commercial facility in the active Kendall corridor near US-1, with utilities included in the monthly rate.
WHAT'S INCLUDED:
- Fully equipped workshop: professional-grade lifts, tire machines, balancers, and alignment equipment
- Indoor showroom with parts and accessories sales generating additional income
- Lean, versatile team of 5 W-2 employees: a customer service advisor and 4 mechanics, each cross-trained to perform any job the shop handles — no single-technician dependency
- Internal successor already identified for the shop manager role
- Established vendor relationships, supply chain, SOPs, and a loyal customer base built over years of quality service
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS (documented):
- Revenue: $1,372,448 (2024) | $1.29M (2025)
- SDE: $305,046 (2024, with documented add-backs)
- Gross Margin: 50.9% (2024)
- Asking Price: $650,000 — inventory (~$269,000 at cost) available separately
IDEAL BUYER:
Owner-operators seeking immediate cash flow, E-2 visa investors seeking a qualifying U.S. business (substantial investment, real operations, U.S. employees), or existing automotive businesses expanding in the Miami market. SBA 7(a) eligible — accessible with approximately 10% down for qualified buyers.
REASON FOR SALE & TRANSITION:
The owner is relocating out of state — a planned family transition, not a distressed sale. She will provide up to 2 months of hands-on training, supported by the cross-trained team and the internal shop manager successor, ensuring operational continuity from day one.
