This is a well-established, full-service automotive repair and maintenance business operated under absentee ownership, making it an ideal opportunity for an investor seeking a stable, turnkey operation. The shop services both foreign and domestic vehicles across all age ranges—from newer models to high-mileage vehicles more than 15 years old.
The business operates from a standalone, high-visibility retail location that it has occupied for decades. The property is fully equipped with no immediate capital expenditure requirements. The real estate is owned by the seller and is available for purchase, offering additional long-term value, control, and stability for a new owner.
The facility is designed for efficiency and volume, featuring three quick-lube bays and four full-service mechanical bays. Services range from routine oil changes and preventive maintenance to complex mechanical repairs, including brakes, diagnostics, transmission work, A/C service, and more. Operations are supported by experienced technicians and modern diagnostic equipment.
In addition to a strong retail customer base, the business is an authorized service provider for State of Illinois fleet vehicles, generating steady, recurring revenue. A long-standing partnership with NAPA ensures consistent access to high-quality parts and equipment, reinforcing the shop’s reputation for reliability and professional service.
The business is currently structured to run without day-to-day owner involvement, providing flexibility for an investor or semi-passive owner. An owner-operator who assumes the management role will increase profitability by approximately $100,000 annually.
