About This Opportunity

The Repair Business — The Engine
Read the name carefully and then ignore it. This is an automotive repair and service operation that happens to have a car wash on the same lot. Repair, lube and preventive maintenance produced roughly 84% of revenue in the most recent full year — $1,073,293 of $1,271,720 — and that side of the business grew nearly 28% in just two years. Twenty-five years at the same address, an experienced crew already in place, and an owner who works in the business but draws no salary. A U.S. vehicle fleet now averaging a record 12.8 years of age keeps sending work through the door.


The Car Wash — The Upside 70 foot tunnel
Here is the part worth your attention. The wash produced $198,427 last year, about 16% of revenue, and it has grown only 7% over the same two years in which repair grew 28%. It has never been pushed. There is no developed unlimited-membership program, no app, no plate recognition, no automated billing — while mature wash operations nationally draw 40% to 60% of wash revenue from subscriptions, in a segment compounding near 10% a year with renewal intent reported close to 90%. The wash has been run as a side service, not as a business. A buyer who treats it as a business inherits the whole gap.


Why the Conversion Is Easy Here
Most wash operators building a membership base are buying strangers. This one is not. The service bays already see the same vehicles and the same owners several times a year, with a service advisor talking to each of them face to face. Selling a monthly wash plan to a customer who just had his brakes done is a warm conversation, not a cold acquisition — and the site sits on a principal north-south highway corridor serving roughly 25,000 year-round residents, with high vehicle ownership and local median household income approaching $92,000. The property also adjoins a municipal complex, which carries steady civic traffic past the door at no marketing cost. All of it on real estate the buyer owns outright.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
• A repair business doing $1.07M a year and growing — not a wash with a service bay bolted on
• Total revenue up every year for five consecutive years, from $884,172 to $1,271,720
• An undeveloped wash-subscription program with an existing repair customer base to convert from
• Real estate included — land and building convey, so no landlord, no rent and no lease-renewal risk
• Owner draws no salary; experienced staff in place, with reasonable transition assistance available
