Successful auto repair shop opportunity in San Pedro
Business Description
This long-standing independent auto repair business as been in operation for over 30 years. It can be acquired as a business or with the property included. The success of this operation provides a qualified buyer the chance to step into an established shop with existing goodwill, customer history, vendor relationships, shop infrastructure, and potential control of the real estate.
A buyer is acquiring an operating automotive platform plus the property it operates from. For a mechanic/operator currently leasing space, this is a rare opportunity to own the location, control occupancy costs, and build long-term equity while running the business. The real estate is not available separately.
The shop services a broad range of import and domestic vehicles, with historical depth in European makes and certain specialized capabilities. A new operator can maintain the current specialty mix, expand the European/import focus, or broaden the shop’s general repair volume.
Transferable assets are expected to include the business name, phone number, website, online presence, customer database, vendor relationships, and shop infrastructure, subject to buyer diligence. Established vendor accounts to be disclosed with NDA.
The property includes a 3,840 square foot building (renovated in 1997, roof redone in 2021) on approximately 0.26 acres. The offering also includes a palm-tree-style cell tower structure conveyed with the real estate (not with the business). The tower is currently vacant but generated over $36,000 annually under a prior arrangement, creating potential upside for a buyer of the property who can re-lease or reposition the tower infrastructure. Property buyer to verify all tower rights, leaseability, permitting, carrier interest, and expansion potential.
This opportunity is best suited for an experienced mechanic, shop owner, or automotive operator who wants to move from tenant to owner-user. The right buyer can benefit from the existing customer base while improving throughput, service writing, declined-work follow-up, digital marketing, fleet outreach, and customer retention systems.
The preferred structure is a combined sale of the business and real estate. SBA financing is available for qualified buyers, and seller financing may be considered for a strong buyer.
The preferred transaction is a combined sale of the operating business and underlying real estate. Land-only sale is not available. Business-only structures may be considered selectively, with proposed rent of approximately $17,000/month.
Employees are anticipated to remain, subject to buyer diligence and final transaction terms. Buyer should verify staffing, payroll, compensation, job roles, and retention expectations during diligence.
