Rare opportunity to acquire a dominant auto body and collision repair business in a low-competition market. The business generates 85 to 95 percent of revenue through direct-bill insurance claims across all major carriers providing a predictable, recurring workflow that is largely insulated from consumer discretionary spending. Fewer than five shops serve the entire regional market, and documented demand consistently exceeds current shop capacity.

The shop performs full collision repair, hail and dent restoration, computerized paint mixing and matching, and local towing services. All technicians hold PPG paint application certification and welding certification. The business recently invested over $87,000 in a new downdraft heated paint booth system and computerized PPG color matching technology — both included in the asking price. Combined staff tenure exceeds 60 years.

Normalized Seller's Discretionary Earnings are $283,000 on a weighted average basis across three full fiscal years. The asking price of $799,000 implies a 2.49x multiple on weighted SDE — priced below the conservative valuation of $897,000 at 2.8x. The business has been pre-qualified with a preferred SBA lender. No customer concentration risk, revenue is distributed across all major insurance carriers with no single account dependency.

Real Estate is available for separate purchase at $450,000. A buyer who acquires the real estate eliminates all ongoing occupancy cost, and rent is added back to SDE in the financial recast. The combined package — business plus real estate — is $1,249,000. Lease arrangements are negotiable for buyers who prefer not to purchase.

Demand in the market consistently exceeds current shop capacity. Reinstating extended-hours towing represents immediate incremental revenue, equipment is already in place. Formalizing fleet and commercial accounts, reactivating radio advertising, and building a managed digital presence are all low-cost levers with documented prior effectiveness. A buyer who maintains and grows the technical team acquires a business with meaningful, documented upside in a market with very limited competition.
