Rare opportunity to acquire a diversified automotive business in the Houston market combining mechanical repair, diagnostics, collision/body work, paint and used vehicle sales under one operation.

The business produces approximately $160,000 in annual SDE and operates from a large automotive facility with significant room for additional volume. Current activity includes approximately 40 to 60 mechanical jobs per month and around 10 vehicle sales per month, with average gross profit of roughly $2,000 per vehicle.

Current business mix is approximately:

• 40% mechanical repair
• 10% collision/body work
• 50% used vehicle sales

The company has built a strong reputation and repeat customer base, with close to 600 customer records and approximately 200 to 300 active or repeat customers. The business also has a strong online presence with a large number of 5-star reviews across the repair, collision and vehicle sales sides of the operation.

The operation is housed in an approximately 12,500 square foot facility on nearly 3 acres with capacity for approximately 100 vehicles. There are currently two automotive lifts installed, with room to add additional lifts and technicians.

Major equipment included in the sale includes:

• 2 automotive lifts
• Frame machine/body straightening rack
• Enclosed automotive paint booth
• Ingersoll Rand shop air compressor
• OBD inspection equipment
• Computers and office equipment
• Installed security system

The sale also includes the business name and branding, websites/domains, phone number, Google Business Profile, customer database and social media accounts.

Two mechanics/technicians are expected to remain with a buyer. The current operation is run by one owner/operator at a time, making the transition straightforward for an experienced automotive buyer.

There is substantial upside for a buyer who wants to grow the business. Opportunities include adding lifts and technicians, increasing mechanical repair volume, expanding collision work, developing fleet and commercial accounts, increasing marketing and growing vehicle sales. The facility has significantly more capacity than is currently being utilized.

Asking price for the operating business is $400,000.

Approximately 38 vehicles with an estimated inventory value of around $520,000 are available separately and are not included in the asking price. A buyer can purchase some, all or none of the inventory depending on deal structure.

Current rent is approximately $11,320 per month. The landlord has indicated a willingness to work with a qualified buyer on an assignment and/or longer-term lease extension.

Seller is relocating overseas to pursue another business opportunity. He would like to complete a sale within the next several months and is open to reasonable offers from qualified buyers. Seller is also willing to provide approximately 30 to 60 days of transition and training after closing.

This should appeal to an owner-operator, dealership group, collision operator, existing repair business or automotive entrepreneur looking for an established Houston-area platform with multiple revenue streams, strong customer goodwill and substantial room to grow.

Business name and exact location will be provided only to qualified buyers after NDA and proof of funds.
