This is a full-service auto body and collision repair shop specializing in accident repairs, bodywork, and painting, located in a prime commercial and industrial hub of Los Angeles. The business covers the entire spectrum of services including frame repair, panel replacement, bumper and fender repair, full and partial paint services, dent and scratch restoration, and pre-lease return reconditioning — operating as a truly comprehensive repair facility.

Established at the same location since 1961, the business has built decades of trust and a strong local customer base. The current owner acquired the shop in January 2024 and has been operating it as a sole owner on a stable full-time basis. The reason for sale is retirement.

2. Revenue Structure

This business operates without any DRP (Direct Repair Program) contracts with insurance companies and does not rely on insurance brokers or external referral networks.

All revenue is driven organically through:

*Proprietary online advertising campaigns

*Traffic from online review platforms

*Long-established loyal repeat customers and word-of-mouth referrals

This structure creates a fully independent and stable revenue model that is not dependent on any single insurance company or referral partner, eliminating the risk associated with contract renewals or DRP relations. A buyer can step into the business and immediately continue operations with the existing customer base intact and unchanged.

3. Key Strengths

• SBA Loan eligible — allowing acquisition with reduced upfront capital
• Over 60 years of operating history building strong local name recognition
• Independent customer acquisition model without DRP dependency
• Balanced revenue mix of insurance repairs and cash-pay customers
• Full-service, high-ticket operation producing healthy margins
• Large functional facility (4,700 sq. ft.) with long-term lease stability
• Experienced and well-structured staff enabling streamlined operations

This is a turnkey, fully established auto body business with its revenue model already built and stabilized. No additional sales teams, referral agreements, or DRP contracts are required for continuity — the buyer can step in and continue generating immediate and consistent cash flow from day one.

With SBA financing eligibility, this opportunity offers substantially reduced capital requirements for acquisition and delivers an excellent return on investment profile for qualified buyers.
