Automotive & Boat Businesses for Sale

  • Primary Category: Auto Repair & Service Shops for Sale

This long-standing independent automotive repair shop has been a trusted part of its community for more than five decades. Established in 1973 and still owned by its original founder, the business has built a strong reputation for honest service, deep technical expertise, and long-term customer relationships.

The company provides a full range of automotive repair and maintenance services, including routine oil changes, diagnostics, brake service, engine and transmission replacements, and a variety of complex mechanical repairs.

A distinguishing specialty of the shop is its capability to service and restore older and antique vehicles, including carburetor and differential rebuilds, a skill set that is increasingly rare in today’s automotive service market.

The shop has 2 Lifts and 4 Bays, Outside Slab for another car lift and additional parking.

The property features a secure 6-foot fence topped with barbed wire, two rolling gates, ample parking inside the fenced area, and at least eight additional parking spaces outside. Two 8x15-foot sheds provide additional storage. An air-conditioned office is also included.

The current owner has cultivated an excellent reputation for fair and honest service and quality workmanship. This turnkey operation presents a fantastic opportunity for a new owner to step into a well-established and profitable business with a strong existing customer base.

Over the years, the business has developed a loyal base of repeat customers, many of whom have been bringing their vehicles to the shop since the 1970s. The company has historically relied almost entirely on reputation and word-of-mouth referrals rather than formal advertising, reflecting the strength of its standing in the community.

The operation is intentionally streamlined and owner-operated, supported by a small team that manages daily service operations, scheduling, parts ordering, invoicing, and customer communications.

The business operates Monday through Friday during standard business hours, providing a stable and manageable schedule for ownership.

The owner, now approaching retirement, is seeking a qualified buyer who can continue serving the established customer base and preserve the reputation the business has built over more than fifty years. The seller has indicated a willingness to assist with a transition period to help ensure continuity with long-standing customers and vendors.

Highlights:

• Over 54 years of continuous operation under the same ownership
• Strong local reputation with a loyal, repeat customer base
• Full-service automotive repair capabilities from routine maintenance to major mechanical work
• Established commercial fleet accounts
• Referral-driven business with minimal marketing historically required
• Owner willing to assist with transition
