HEALTH ISSUE FORCES SALE
High-Cash-Flow Auto Repair Shop | $180K SDE | Scalable to $1M+
Established and highly profitable independent auto repair shop in the greater Columbia, SC market with a strong local reputation, consistent 5-star reviews, and a large repeat customer base.
The business generates approximately $850K in revenue with about $180K in Seller’s Discretionary Earnings, with prior performance supporting revenue above $1M.
The financials have already been reviewed, and the seller has documented the addbacks.
The shop recently increased its labor rate approximately 20% to $165 per hour with no noticeable drop in demand. The business remains busy and capacity constrained, with a clear path back above $1M in revenue by adding technicians.
The business operates from a 4-bay facility with rent of only $2,000 per month and approximately 7 years remaining on the lease. The sale includes over $100K in well-maintained equipment, including a newer tire machine, alignment system and rack, diagnostic tools, A/C machines, balancer, and other specialty equipment.
Approximately 90% of the revenue is generated by the existing staff. The owner is an ASE Master Technician and currently handles oversight, quality control, and a limited amount of technician work.
Because of the owner’s current role, this opportunity requires an operationally qualified buyer. The buyer should either be an experienced mechanic or already have a qualified lead mechanic on their team who can step into the owner’s operational role.
The sellers are motivated due to a health issue and are open to reasonable offers from operationally qualified buyers. They are committed to a smooth transition and are also willing to provide continued support after closing to help ensure the buyer’s success. The owner’s wife is willing to remain with the business for up to one year, and possibly longer if mutually beneficial.
Confidential sale. NDA required for identifying information. Proof of funds required prior to seller introduction.
