Profitable Specialty Auto Shop-Immediate Growth Ops-Seller Fin
Business Description
A rare chance to own a highly profitable specialty automotive repair business with 30+ years long track record in one of Southern California's most under serviced specialties. Set up for multiple, immediate growth opportunities to scale 2x on day one.
Financial Performance
2023: Revenue $1,201,393 – SDE $153,955
2024: Revenue $1,307,094 – SDE $176,049
2025: Revenue $1,344,049 – SDE $195,496
Three straight years of growth in both revenue and profits, almost entirely on word of mouth and referrals.
Why Now:
Very low competition: Specialty repair work requires technical expertise most general shops don't have, which is why roughly 9 in 10 local shops send this work elsewhere instead of competing for it.
High-ticket, high-margin jobs: Average tickets of $1,200–$1,700, with complex jobs reaching $3,000–$4,000, versus high-volume competitors grinding out 10–20 lower-margin jobs a day.
Built-in room to grow: The facility runs 3 bays and 7 lifts across 10,000 sq. ft. and a 2,000 sq. ft. sub-tenant suite vacates December 31st, handing the next owner immediate space to add lifts, launch new service lines, or build a showroom, with no build-out or relocation required.
Growth Opportunities for a New Owner:
Rate increase already on the table: Labor is priced at $150/hour, well under the county standard of $200/hour, a straightforward margin lift without risking client retention.
Untapped e-commerce/online channel: Growth to date has come almost entirely from word of mouth and referrals, with no real digital presence. A modernized website and online scheduling could open the business to nationwide shipping and receiving work.
Expansion space ready to go: The December vacancy is a rare, immediate opportunity to expand capacity or add services without new real estate.
Team:
The 7-person team includes a Service and Sales Manager with 30+ years in the industry and a Master Technician with over 26 years at this shop.
Reason for Selling:
After 10 successful years, the owners are retiring and relocating to the Midwest to be near family. They're committed to a smooth handover and are open to stay for a generous transition.
