Acquire a premier, systems-driven mobile detailing and reconditioning business serving the affluent "Silicon Slopes" corridor. This operation has successfully transitioned from a manual labor model to a profit-optimized, systems-driven business where the owner handles management while a tenured team manages production. The business possesses a massive competitive advantage: $0 is currently spent on paid advertising. Growth is fueled entirely by an elite digital reputation—consisting of over 150 5-star Google reviews—and high organic search rankings that generate a consistent stream of inbound leads. With approximately $50,000 in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR), the business has a reliable "financial floor". This recurring revenue is strategically diversified across 22 residential maintenance subscribers and 4 stable commercial accounts, including luxury automotive and regional fleet partnerships.
This is an exceptional opportunity to acquire a highly profitable, well-run auto repair business that operates like a machine. With proven systems, streamlined processes, and a tenured, skilled team in place, this is a true turnkey operation generating consistent cash flow from day one. The business has been built for efficiency and scale, with clear workflows, strong quality control, and a reputation that drives repeat business and referrals. Jobs move through the shop in a predictable, organized manner, minimizing rework and maximizing productivity, a key driver behind its strong margins and steady performance. Ownership is largely hands-off, with the current owner working approximately 10–15 hours per week in a high-level management role. Importantly, the owner is not a technician, making this an ideal acquisition for a buyer with strong business, leadership, or sales experience. The experienced team handles daily operations, allowing a new owner to focus on growth and strategic direction rather than turning wrenches. Financial reporting is clean and reliable, providing confidence for both buyers and lenders. The business benefits from a loyal customer base, essential service demand, and consistent workflow, creating a stable and resilient revenue stream. There is meaningful upside for a motivated buyer, including expanding marketing efforts, increasing commercial and fleet relationships, and leveraging existing capacity to drive additional revenue without immediate major investment. For buyers seeking a scalable, system-driven business with strong cash flow, minimal owner dependence, and real growth potential, this opportunity checks all the boxes.

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.
