Established Auto Repair Franchise - Turnaround Opportunity
Business Description
Established full-service automotive repair business available in Murfreesboro, Tennessee for $175,000. This is an opportunity to acquire an operating automotive service center with an existing customer base, employees, equipment, service capabilities and revenue stream rather than developing a new repair facility from the ground up.
The business generated approximately $617,000 in revenue during 2025 and is being offered as a turnaround opportunity for an engaged owner-operator or experienced automotive operator. A new Service Manager has recently been installed, a new shop management platform was deployed in September 2026, creating a new foundation for improved inspections, estimating, workflow, customer follow-up and operating accountability.
This is a full-service repair operation. Services include brakes, steering and suspension, diagnostics, air conditioning, cooling systems, tune-ups, timing belts, tires, alignments and preventive maintenance.
The historical financial statements include management salary expense. A hands-on owner-operator who performs the management function personally may be able to replace this expense with owner labor. A purchaser intending to employ professional management should account for an appropriate market-rate manager salary. Historical financial statements are available to qualified purchasers.
The approximately 4,250-square-foot leased facility is configured for automotive service and repair. The 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 pursuant to the purchase agreement. Lease assignment or a new lease is subject to landlord approval.
Growth opportunities include increasing car count and average repair order, improving conversion of recommended work, increasing technician and bay productivity, strengthening customer retention and developing additional fleet and commercial business.

- Market Outlook / Competition
- Murfreesboro is a Middle Tennessee market with recurring demand for automotive maintenance and repair. This is a full-service repair operation rather than a business dependent primarily on oil changes. Revenue comes from a diversified service mix including brakes, steering and suspension, diagnostics, A/C, cooling systems, tune-ups, timing belts, tires and preventive maintenance. The business competes with dealerships, national chains and independent repair facilities.
- Opportunities for Growth
- This location is offered as a turnaround opportunity with an established customer and revenue base. A new Service Manager is in place and Tekmetric was deployed in September 2026 to improve inspections, estimating, workflow, customer follow-up and operating accountability. Opportunities include increasing car count, improving average repair order, capturing more recommended work, increasing bay and technician productivity, strengthening customer retention and developing fleet/commercial accounts. The existing service mix already includes meaningful brake, suspension, diagnostic, A/C, cooling and other repair work. An active owner-operator may also personally perform management functions represented by salary expense in the historical P&Ls.
