Business overview
Rare opportunity to acquire a auto repair business with 11 years of operating history in a growing market. Detailed financials, tax returns, and supporting schedules are available to qualified buyers after an NDA. A balanced mix of one-time projects and repeat engagements smooths revenue through the year and reduces seasonality risk. Employees are experienced, licensed where required, and accustomed to operating with limited owner oversight. Strong online reviews and word-of-mouth referrals drive a steady flow of new customers with minimal advertising spend. Ideal for a hands-on owner, or as an add-on acquisition for a regional player.
