Operational Overview

The operation runs with a highly efficient and systemized workflow. A team of 7 full-time employees—including 5 skilled mechanics and 2 front-office staff—handles all day-to-day operations. Mechanics are paid per job, creating strong incentives for productivity and minimizing oversight. The business consistently completes 7 engines per week, with an additional backlog of ~10 vehicles waiting—demonstrating unmet demand and immediate growth potential.

The current owner maintains a semi-absentee role, working approximately 20–25 hours per week primarily overseeing parts ordering. The business is structured to run independently, with experienced staff managing daily operations. Notably, the owner regularly leaves for extended periods with no disruption to performance.

Reason for Selling

The owner is selling due to health reasons and retirement, creating a rare opportunity for a new owner to step into a highly profitable and scalable operation.

Growth Opportunities

- Increase capacity by hiring 1–2 additional mechanics (demand already exceeds supply)
- Expand marketing beyond Google Ads into social media channels
- Open additional locations in nearby markets (highly replicable model)

Ideal Buyer Profile

This business is ideal for an entrepreneur or operator seeking a high-cash-flow, semi-absentee opportunity with strong systems already in place. It’s also a perfect fit for someone looking to scale a proven model into a multi-location operation with significant upside.
