This is a rare opportunity to acquire a fully built-out, turn-key, and completely equipped automotive repair facility specializing in high-margin European and Japanese vehicles. Located in one of the nation's most affluent counties, the business features a premier physical footprint that is virtually impossible to duplicate today due to strict local zoning laws and environmental permitting restrictions. While currently operated as a highly efficient, lean, solo-operator business yielding steady discretionary cash flow, the true value lies in its massive, underutilized infrastructure. The facility boasts a total of 6 working bays equipped with lifts, split between the interior and exterior. Inside, you will find 4 bays featuring two 10,000 lbs. lifts and two 8,000 lbs. lifts. Outside, there are 2 bays, including a standard 10,000 lbs. lift and a heavy-duty 18,000 lbs. lift perfect for larger commercial vehicles. Additionally, the property features 2 dedicated indoor floor bays for non-lift diagnostics and fluid services, complemented by a secure, 20-car storage lot. This turnkey facility is perfectly primed for an expanding Multi-Shop Operator (MSO), regional chain, or an ambitious master technician ready to immediately scale a team into a $1.5M+ revenue operation.

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.
