Description
For over two decades, this Honda and Toyota specialist has been the trusted automotive partner for countless families across Los Angeles County. Founded in 2000 with a simple yet powerful vision - to provide honest, quality automotive service using genuine OEM parts - this independent repair shop has weathered economic storms and industry changes while building an unshakeable reputation in the community. The founder's commitment to integrity and craftsmanship created something special: a business where customers become friends, and word-of-mouth recommendations drive steady growth. Year after year, loyal customers return not just for routine maintenance, but because they trust this shop with their family's safety and their hard-earned money. What started as a modest operation has evolved into a comprehensive one-stop automotive service center. The shop's expertise spans the complete spectrum of Honda, Acura, Toyota, and Lexus services - from routine oil changes and brake work to complex engine repairs, transmission rebuilds, and diagnostic testing. The addition of air conditioning service, radiator work, and suspension repairs transformed the business into a true full-service destination. The shop's customer-first philosophy shines through its industry-leading warranty program, backing all repair work for a full year, including brake services. Strategic promotional programs, like the popular 10% service discount, have consistently attracted new customers while rewarding loyalty. Equipped with three professional lifts and positioned in thriving Alameda County, this established business generates strong cash flow while maintaining the personal touch that sets independent shops apart from corporate chains. The loyal customer base, built over 25 years of consistent service, represents tremendous value for the next owner. This is more than an acquisition - it's an opportunity to continue a meaningful legacy while building your own automotive empire. The foundation is solid, the reputation is sterling, and the potential for growth under fresh leadership is limitless. Note: Buyer to verify financials including cash income etc.
