Share on Reddit Business Description
Rare opportunity to acquire a long-established full-service gas station and automotive repair shop with real estate included in Southeast South Dakota. Serving the community for nearly 30 years, the business benefits from strong local loyalty, highway visibility, and the recent addition of the only Certified A1 and A/C Technician in town.
The operation includes fuel sales, tires, oil changes, diagnostics, diesel repair, and advanced mechanical work from a multi-bay facility with repair equipment, fuel pumps, and additional warehouse/storage space included in the sale.
Key Financial Highlights
- Annual Revenue: $633K
- Seller’s Discretionary Earnings (SDE): $100K
- 15.9% SDE Margin
Operations Overview
The business operates with a lean team led by a Certified A1 / A/C Technician performing repairs while ownership oversees customer relationships and operations. Services include fuel sales, tires, oil changes, diagnostics, A/C work, hydraulic hoses, and diesel/ag repair. The property includes multiple service bays, fuel infrastructure, shop equipment, and additional warehouse/storage space.
Why This Business Stands Out
- Only certified A1 / A/C technician in town
- Prime highway location with loyal repeat customers
- Diversified revenue from fuel, repair, tires, and ag work
- Strong upside through expanded marketing and convenience retail growth
Reason for Sale
After nearly 30 years of ownership, the seller is pursuing retirement and looking to transition the business to an operator who can continue growing what he built over decades in the community.
Ideal Buyer
This opportunity is ideal for a hands-on operator, mechanic, first-time SBA buyer, or entrepreneur seeking a community-rooted business with real estate, strong customer loyalty, and meaningful upside potential. A buyer willing to modernize operations and aggressively market the expanded mechanical capabilities could unlock substantial future growth.
