Own an established, profitable auto repair business while enjoying the mountain scenery, wide-open skies, and outdoor lifestyle of Northern New Mexico. No prior experience in auto repair is required to own and operate this business. An experienced service manager, skilled technicians, capable service advisors, and established operating systems give a buyer with strong business and leadership skills the foundation to succeed. The owner’s role centers on managing the business and supporting the team, rather than repairing vehicles. Clean, well-organized financial records help buyers evaluate earnings with confidence. The business has been prequalified for SBA-lender financing, offering qualified buyers a path to ownership, subject to lender approval. A loyal customer base, excellent online reviews, and word-of-mouth referrals reflect a reputation for trusted advice and quality work. Customers primarily interact with the team, supporting continuity beyond the current owner. Digital vehicle inspections, advanced diagnostic capabilities, quality-control procedures, and well-maintained equipment support an organized operation. Broad repair and maintenance services generate business across multiple vehicle types. Growth opportunities include reaching expanding residential neighborhoods, improving technician productivity, and selectively developing commercial accounts. With weekends closed, ownership offers time to enjoy the surrounding mountains, hiking, scenic drives, and outdoor recreation. Training and transition assistance help a new owner build on the foundation already in place.

Established more than two decades ago, this is a highly profitable, semi-absentee general tool and equipment rental business located in one of North Carolina's fastest-growing markets. The company has built a deep, well-maintained rental fleet, a loyal and diversified contractor customer base, and a reputation for service that keeps customers coming back. The company rents a broad fleet of roughly 800 units, including aerial lifts, telehandlers, skid steers, excavators, trenchers, tractors, concrete equipment, and a wide range of small tools. The fleet is valued at approximately $3.6 million at fair market value and is supported by a delivery fleet of trucks and trailers. The business generates about $1.72 million in annual revenue with seller's discretionary earnings of approximately $960,000. Ownership operates on a semi-absentee basis, with an experienced manager and crew running daily operations, which makes for an unusually clean transition for a new owner. The customer base is highly diversified, and the business continues to add new customers every year. Business highlights: - More than two decades of operating history and an established brand in a growing, affluent coastal market - No customer concentration, with a broad base of repeat contractor customers - Semi-absentee ownership, with management in place - Deep, relatively young fleet maintained on a disciplined replacement cycle with minimal debt - Strong cash flow, with the large majority of billings collected by card on file, keeping receivables and bad debt low. Growth opportunities: - Expand the fleet to meet demand that already exceeds current capacity, particularly for lifts and telehandlers - Add additional location in a fast-growing region - Modernize marketing through the website, social media, and online reservations - Introduce ancillary revenue such as a damage-waiver program, which is not offered today The operating real estate is owned separately and is available to lease. Ownership is retiring and is committed to a smooth transition.

Cofounder & CEO
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.
