Description

This heavy-duty truck repair business serves national and regional fleets through established account relationships and a manager-led shop. Operating in New Jersey since 2013, it also serves contractors and other commercial vehicle operators, with work generated through fleet relationships and referrals. The business repairs medium- and heavy-duty trucks, trailers, and truck bodies. Its services span collision and frame repair, refinishing and paint, diesel mechanical work, preventive maintenance, trailer fabrication, sandblasting, and emissions inspection. Pickup, delivery, and towing support fleet customers. Bringing these capabilities together at one site allows customers to use a single provider for multiple repair needs. Two salaried managers direct ten technicians across body and paint, trailer repair, and mechanical work. They handle job assignments, scheduling, supervision, quality control, and customer updates. A buyer steps into the owner's oversight role, including estimate approvals, billing review, and maintaining key fleet relationships. The shop operates one weekday shift and uses subcontractors to handle overflow work. For FY2025, revenue was approximately $2.1M and adjusted EBITDA was approximately $360K. FY2025 pro forma adjusted EBITDA under the current lease was approximately $220K. Investment Highlights • Repeat business. Management estimates that roughly 90% of revenue comes from repeat fleet and commercial accounts. • National fleet access. The business holds preferred-vendor status with three national fleets. • Healthy gross margins. Gross margins ranged from approximately 68% to 70% across FY2023 through FY2025. • Longstanding relationships. A national fleet customer relationship dates to the business's founding. • Experienced leadership. The mechanical manager has approximately 12 years with the company. The business is suited to a strategic truck-service acquirer seeking to add collision and trailer capabilities alongside mechanical repair. Its national-account workflow includes written estimates, customer approvals, purchase orders, and portal invoicing, providing an established operating framework for serving larger fleet organizations.

Facilities & Assets

The business occupies a leased industrial site with approximately 14,000 square feet across two buildings, including drive-in bays, offices, and tractor-trailer yard space. The five-year triple-net lease runs through July 2031, with renewal by mutual agreement. Included assets comprise shop equipment and titled vehicles, including commercial paint equipment, compressors, welding and fabrication equipment, a frame puller, emissions-testing equipment, forklifts, and material-handling equipment. Shop systems and the manager employment agreement are also included in the sale.

Support & Training

The seller will provide six months of remote consulting after closing. An employment agreement covering the operations manager is included in the transaction.

Market & Competition

Regional freight and distribution activity creates demand for commercial vehicle repairs, while technician shortages encourage fleets to outsource maintenance and repair work. Competitors include independent heavy-duty repair shops, dealer service departments, in-house fleet maintenance operations, mobile providers, and larger fleet-service platforms. Industrial zoning requirements and scarce tractor-trailer yard space create barriers to establishing comparable facilities.

Growth Opportunities

A dedicated fleet sales representative could pursue regional commercial operators and additional national fleet programs. Existing accounts offer opportunities to expand service usage and reach more depots. Digital marketing, paid search, and a customer review program could generate additional inbound work. Scheduled preventive maintenance and inspection plans could add recurring service revenue. The lease permits expanded operating hours beyond the current shift.

Financing Options

Seller financing is available.Seller financing of 70% or more of the purchase price is offered to qualified buyers.
