Acquire an established automotive maintenance and repair center in Petersburg, Virginia, for only $40,000. This operating franchise location offers an experienced automotive professional or hands-on owner-operator a low-cost entry into the automotive service industry with an existing facility, customer base, operating infrastructure, and established franchise system.

The business operates from an approximately 1,486-square-foot leased automotive repair facility on South Crater Road. No real estate is included in the sale. Lease assignment or a new lease will be subject to landlord approval.

The center provides general automotive maintenance and repair services for passenger vehicles and light-duty trucks. Rather than investing the time and capital required to develop and equip a new location, the buyer can begin with an operating facility and focus immediately on improving sales, productivity, customer retention, and local market penetration.

This is a value-add turnaround opportunity that requires engaged ownership and disciplined execution. The primary opportunities include increasing average repair order, improving vehicle inspections and estimate presentation, following up on declined services, reactivating prior customers, improving bay utilization, aligning staffing with demand, developing fleet and commercial accounts, strengthening local marketing, and improving parts and shop-supply controls.

The business is best suited for an automotive professional, existing repair-shop operator, multiunit franchisee, or hands-on entrepreneur prepared to actively manage employees, sales, customer service, productivity, and local business development. It is not positioned as an absentee-owner acquisition.

The proposed sale is expected to include seller-owned furniture, fixtures, tools, shop equipment, customer records, telephone number, and other operating assets, subject to a final asset schedule. Inventory will be determined by physical count and handled as provided in the purchase agreement.

The buyer will have access to the franchise system’s training, operating procedures, technology, marketing resources, vendor relationships, and ongoing support, subject to franchisor approval and execution of the applicable franchise agreements. The business must remain part of the franchise system following the sale.

Detailed financial statements, lease information, equipment records, franchise requirements, and operating information will be provided confidentially to qualified prospective purchasers following execution of a confidentiality agreement and demonstration of financial capability.
