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.
