Established Auto & Tire Business for Sale - Premier Cleveland Area
Business Description
This is an exceptional opportunity to acquire a turnkey, highly profitable auto repair and tire shop located on a heavily trafficked corridor in Cleveland, OH. Currently operating with the owner on-site just one day a week, this business is fully staffed, highly self-sufficient, and ready for a seamless transition.
The Advantage: Fleet Accounts & Premium Assets
A major value driver for this business is its established book of commercial B2B fleet accounts, providing a highly predictable baseline of recurring revenue that buffers against everyday retail fluctuations.
The facility is optimized for high volume. The asking price includes $100,000 in exceptionally well-maintained, top-tier FF&E. (Please note: There is approximately $50,000 in current tire and parts inventory that is not included in the asking price, which can be negotiated separately). The shop is fully loaded with premium brands, including a John Bean V3300 alignment machine, three heavy-duty lifts (one 14k 4-post and two 10k Rotary 2-posts), Corghi tire machines and balancers, a Hunter Road Force balancer, and advanced Autel diagnostic scan tools.
Tremendous Growth Potential
I am selling to consolidate my focus on my other expanding shop locations that are closer to my home. Because my time and attention are split, I simply do not have the bandwidth to push this location to its absolute maximum potential. A dedicated, full-time owner-operator could immediately scale the business by expanding local marketing efforts, taking on more retail volume, and optimizing daily shop efficiency.
Open to Partnership / Creative Structuring
My ultimate goal is to see this business continue to thrive. While I am open to a standard full buyout, I am also highly willing to consider a partnership arrangement and a reduced initial buy-in for the right qualified, experienced operator who is ready to step in and fully take over the day-to-day operations.
Whether you are an investor looking for a fully equipped, semi-absentee operation or an experienced mechanic ready to step into ownership, this shop provides a rock-solid foundation. I will include 30 days of comprehensive transition training and provide my personal industry contacts and ongoing guidance to ensure the new owner or partner is set up for total success from day one.

About the Business

- Employees
- 5 Full-time
- Facilities & Assets
- The business operates out of a highly visible, owned facility located on a busy corridor in Cleveland, OH. The shop layout is optimized for high volume, featuring fully equipped service bays with 3 premium vehicle lifts (one 14k 4-post lift and two 10k Rotary 2-post lifts).
The sale includes **$100,000 in top-tier, well-maintained FF&E**. Key assets include:
* **John Bean V3300** Alignment System
* **Tire Equipment:** 2 Corghi tire machines, 1 Coats tire machine, 1 Corghi balancer, and 1 Hunter Road Force balancer
Autel scan tools
* Tire racks, all essential shop tools, shelving, and office furniture. - Market Outlook / Competition
- While the Cleveland automotive repair and tire market is highly competitive with numerous local shops, the overall demand for reliable service in this densely populated area remains consistently strong.
What distinctly sets this business apart from typical retail-only competitors is our established base of commercial fleet accounts. These valuable B2B relationships provide a steady, predictable stream of recurring revenue that buffers against seasonal retail fluctuations. Our reputation for quality work and fast turnaround times has solidified these accounts, giving a new owner a stable, profitable foundation on day one, with plenty of room to scale. - Opportunities for Growth
- This shop is currently operating successfully despite my limited involvement as an absentee owner. Because I am heavily committed to my other shop locations, I simply do not have the bandwidth to push this location to its full potential.
The most immediate opportunity for growth is transitioning the business to a full-time, hands-on owner-operator or a dedicated general manager. A focused owner could easily capture more local retail and commercial business by actively networking, expanding marketing efforts, and optimizing daily operations.
To ensure the new owner capitalizes on this potential, I am fully prepared to share my personal industry contacts, vendor relationships, and strategic guidance. The foundation is solidly built; it just needs someone with the time and focus to scale it to the next level.

About the Sale
- Seller Motivation
- Too far from home; consolidating to focus on my other expanded shop locations.
- Transition Support
- Since I am currently only in the shop one day a week, this is already a highly self-sufficient operation. However, to ensure a seamless transition and set the new owner up for immediate success, I will provide 30 days of comprehensive support and training included in the sale.
My ultimate goal is to see this business continue to thrive. After the initial 30 days, I will provide my direct contact information and remain available to answer questions and offer guidance as needed.
Additionally, I am open to creative structures. For the right qualified partner or experienced operator willing to step in and run the day-to-day operations full-time, I am willing to consider a reduced initial buy-in/partnership arrangement. - Financing Options
