Full-Service Auto & Marine Detailing & Cosmetic Repair Business
Business Description
This established luxury auto and marine cosmetic repair and detailing business presents a rare opportunity to acquire a comprehensive automotive reconditioning operation along with premium real estate. Located in Kalamazoo County, Michigan, within one hour of Grand Rapids, this full-service facility has been serving customers since 2005.
BUSINESS OVERVIEW
Operating from an 11,154 square foot facility, this one-stop shop specializes in paint work, detailing, ceramic coating, interior repairs, paintless dent repair, undercoating, remote start installation, and insurance repairs. Unlike competitors who focus on limited services, this business provides comprehensive automotive reconditioning solutions under one roof.
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
The business generates strong annual revenue of $962,000 with seller's discretionary earnings of $35,000 AFTER a $65,000 salary and $99,000 in rent is withheld. The operation includes $150,000 in fixtures, furniture, and equipment, with inventory included in the sale. The real estate is valued at $1,395,000 per a recent Commercial Broker Opinion of Value the Seller obtained. A buyer purchasing the business and real estate would retain SDE, operator salary, and rent totaling approximately $199,000.
GROWTH POTENTIAL
The business is strategically positioned for expansion as rising new car prices drive consumers to maintain vehicles longer, increasing demand for protective and reconditioning services. Seasonal revenue streams include insurance repairs in winter, detailing services in spring and summer, and undercoating in fall, ensuring consistent year-round income. The property has been meticulously maintained and requires zero capital improvements or investments. Minimal marketing is in place (described below) and the addition of marketing and a dedicated sales specialist should quickly deliver an increase to top and bottom line performance.
MARKETING & OPERATIONS
Ongoing marketing initiatives include social media engagement, newsletters, customer follow-ups, event sponsorships, car show participation, and digital billboard advertising to enhance brand visibility and drive customer acquisition and retention.
SALE TERMS
The seller is retiring and offers up to one year of post-sale support. Financing consideration requires purchase of the real estate per the Seller. This represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire an established business with significant real estate value in a high-traffic corridor.
