Reason SellingIt's a classic case of burnout. He wants to focus solely on the service and repair work he enjoys, perhaps greeting old customers as they drop off their cars, but he aims to escape the responsibilities of sitting at the desk, answering phones, managing the books, handling cash, and counting money.
Facilities & AssetsThis legacy business with instant name recognition boasts a comprehensive array of facilities and fixed assets. Their reputation is a brand known island wide, adding a second location across the island would be an instant success.
- An amazing central location, with a panoramic ocean view, a cooling breeze and nearby restaurants and shopping to keep customers entertained.
- Currently it features four strategically placed auto lifts that facilitate efficient vehicle servicing.
- Additionally, the business includes multiple computerized manufacturer specific diagnostic systems, allowing dealer level programing and diagnostic precision.
- The in-house brake lathe, a large cabinet style automatic parts washer and much more general service equipment than we can list mean never saying we can’t do that.
- An enviable inventory of vehicle specific specialized tools and equipment which is beyond anything found at typical shops serves to ensure and expand the versatility of the repair repertoire.
Support & TrainingThe training period will ensure a seamless transition for the new owner. The current owner wishes to remain involved, returning as a technician focused on repairs while assisting with hiring and training new staff on a limited basis. This hands-on approach guarantees loyal customers continuity in service quality and a smooth introduction to the new owner. Additionally, the current owner will retain the necessary licenses until the new owner obtains certification or hires qualified staff.
Market & CompetitionThe market competition includes two Pan-European shops that spread themselves thin, trying to take on easy jobs and not focusing on the best brands. This leads to thin profit margins and poor reputations, driving customers away. In contrast, a specialized shop only accepts cars from three makers and handles all types of repairs. This creates a unique chance for a new operator to grow the business by accepting more calls, as it can service vehicles currently turned away.
Growth OpportunitiesThe facility has four bays, but the number of technicians hasn’t kept up, leaving room for growth by onboarding specialized mechanics. The Big Island attracts wealthy residents, including owners of major auto dealerships. Some customers are so private that their names can’t be disclosed. Buying this business connects you with influential people, providing valuable advice and insights. The current owner recalls taking a risk to start, feeling overwhelmed with debt but seeing immediate income.
