Turnkey Auto Repair & STAR Smog Shop – With Rare Used Car Sales Permit
Business Description
An exceptional opportunity to acquire a fully equipped, turnkey automotive repair facility in one of the most affluent and desirable communities in Marin County, CA. Established by the current property owner in 2024, the facility recently underwent extensive capital improvements, including full remodeling to meet ADA compliance requirements.
The business is housed in a prominent, high-visibility corner location with a built-in, rapidly expanding affluent local customer base. The current owner also owns the real estate and is seeking a stable, long-term operator to take over the business and sign a secure, multi-year lease.
The shop features multiple unique revenue streams that set it apart from standard repair garages:
1)STAR Certified Smog Station: Provides a highly consistent stream of recurring daily clientele.
2)Rare Salvage Vehicle Inspection License: A highly valued designation that drives exclusive regional traffic.
3)Active Used Car Sales Permit: Generated approximately $30,000 in revenue last year with minimal effort, offering a massive, untapped growth channel for a motivated buyer.
The sale includes an extensive, high-end asset list featuring premium heavy-duty vehicle lifts, advanced diagnostic machinery, tire service equipment, and a modern, fully integrated office and POS setup.
