Established tire dealer and commercial tire service business in northwest Ohio, family-operated for more than seven decades. The company sells and services tires only — no automotive mechanical work, no brakes, exhaust, or suspension. That focus keeps the equipment set narrow, the technician skill set easier to hire and train for, and the working capital lighter. Approximately half of revenue is new commercial, off-the-road (OTR), and farm tire sales to fleet, construction, and agricultural customers. Another 20% is retail passenger and light-truck tires. The rest is hourly service labor. Emergency breakdown calls are dispatched to the company through a national tire manufacturer's breakdown-service program. The manufacturer holds the account with the fleet and pays the company within a few days. There is effectively no advertising program. New business comes from an outside salesperson working a 30-40 mile radius and from decades of word-of-mouth referral. The company maintains long-running relationships with nearby school districts and state authorities. Two-tier distribution relationships with major manufacturer keep average inventory near $70,000. This business is a good fit for an owner-operator stepping into an established book of commercial business with manufacturer relationships and a team already in place - or a strategic buyer (existing tire dealer, multi-location service operator, fleet service company) adding an Ohio location with commercial, OTR, and farm volume plus roadside dispatch participation. All inquiries require a signed NDA, buyer profile, and proof of funds or SBA pre-qualification. Please do not contact the business, its owner, employees, customers, or suppliers directly.

Key diligence, valuation, financing, and transition considerations for buyers evaluating automotive and boat business acquisitions.
Gas stations, repair shops, and car washes handle fuel, solvents, and wastewater, and remediation can run six or seven figures. A Phase I, tank records, and permit history tell you whether you're buying a business or a cleanup.
Lifts, wash tunnels, fuel systems, and lined tanks have finite lives and expensive replacements. Ask age, maintenance history, and what's been deferred.
Much of an automotive business is its corner — traffic, access, and a transferable lease. A great shop on a short or non-assignable lease is a problem you inherit.
A repair shop with a loyal service base is worth more than a lot living on deal volume. Get the repeat-customer rate, not just the top line.
Dealer licenses, certified techs, and manufacturer or fuel-brand agreements may not transfer automatically. Confirm what passes and what you must re-earn.
In smaller shops the owner is the master tech and the relationships. Identify who holds the skill and the customers and what retention looks like after close.
