Add-On: Atlanta / Heavy Equipment & Fleet Repair / $1.52M Adj. EBITDA

GA, US

Add-On Opportunity: Atlanta, GA Area / Mobile Heavy Equipment & Fleet Repair / $1.52M Adj. EBITDA / 41% Margin / 80%–90% On-Site Service Company Overview Founded in 2019, the Company is a mobile heavy-equipment and fleet-repair platform located along Interstate 20 east of Atlanta. It serves construction contractors, municipalities, utilities, farms, waste and materials operators, and other equipment-intensive customers throughout Georgia, with work completed for existing customers in nine additional states. The Company repairs and maintains construction and agricultural equipment, hydraulic systems, cranes, dozers, excavators, loaders, tractors, service vehicles, dump trucks, and commercial fleets. Services include computer diagnostics, preventive maintenance, DOT inspections, hydraulic repair, engine and transmission replacement, structural repair, air conditioning, and multi-week rebuilds. Approximately 80%–90% of work is performed at customer locations from six service trucks, including two crane-equipped units. Complex repairs are completed at a four-bay shop. The Company maintains seven OEM and multi-brand diagnostic platforms covering Cummins, Volvo, Mack, Ford, GM, and on- and off-highway equipment, enabling one provider to service nearly everything in a customer’s mixed fleet. The business competes on technical capability, responsiveness, and reliability rather than price. Published service minimums, travel charges, diagnostic fees, and parts-prepayment requirements support premium pricing and favorable working-capital characteristics. Every repair is warrantied, and regional equipment dealers refer complex work they cannot complete. Key KPIs • $3.70 million of LTM September 2026 revenue • $1.52 million of LTM reported EBITDA • $1.52 million of LTM adjusted EBITDA, representing a 40.9% margin • Adjusted EBITDA calculated after deducting $120,000 for replacement hires, with owner salaries retained in expenses • 38.6% revenue growth from FY2023 through FY2025 • 8.6% year-over-year revenue growth through September 2026 • Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded from 25.1% in FY2023 to 40.9% LTM • 62.4% LTM gross margin on parts • Approximately 100 service tickets per month, ranging from $200 maintenance visits to $50,000 crane repairs • Six field-service trucks, including two crane-equipped units • Four service bays and seven dealer-level diagnostic platforms • 96 customers served during the LTM period • 91% of YTD 2026 revenue generated by customers served during the prior-year period • Average revenue per active customer increased from $11,500 in FY2023 to $38,700 LTM • 12 W-2 employees plus one contracted technician • Work completed in nine states outside Georgia Investment Opportunity The Company is a compelling add-on for an established fleet-services platform, equipment dealer, rental company, or heavy-equipment maintenance provider seeking mobile service capacity in the Atlanta and broader Southeast markets. It could also serve as the foundation for a regional buy-and-build strategy in the highly fragmented independent equipment-repair sector. Organic growth opportunities include adding technicians and service trucks, formalizing recurring preventive-maintenance programs, expanding dealer-referral relationships, and establishing locally staffed service hubs in adjacent states where the Company has already completed work. A buy-and-build strategy could target independent mobile-repair businesses, hydraulic specialists, diesel and truck-repair companies, crane-service providers, and regional heavy-equipment shops. Acquired operations could benefit from centralized administration, published pricing, dealer-level diagnostics, technician recruiting, and the Company’s mobile-service model. The three owners intend to support a transition to the buyer’s management.

What to know about transportation and storage business acquisitions

GW

By George Wellmer

Cofounder & CEO

Key diligence, valuation, financing, and transition considerations for buyers evaluating transportation and storage business acquisitions.

Decide which kind of business you're buying

A storage facility's occupancy is durable real-estate income; trucking and moving revenue depends on contracts and crews. Price the two very differently.

Inspect the fleet and facility condition

Trucks, trailers, vehicles, and build-outs are capital-heavy with finite lives; get age, maintenance history, and the deferred replacement schedule.

Verify DOT, operating authority, and regulatory standing

Authority, safety ratings, and driver qualifications are central and may not transfer; review the compliance record.

Quantify customer and contract concentration

Contracted freight or a few large accounts can carry a transportation business and leave with little notice; understand the terms.

Pressure-test fuel, labor, and driver availability

Margins move with fuel and wages, and qualified drivers are scarce; understand the cost structure and key-person risk.

For storage, verify occupancy, rate trends, and the real estate

Occupancy history, rate increases, and property condition drive value; confirm the numbers and any deferred maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common buyer questions for this market.

Yes, storage is especially attractive for its recurring, real-estate-backed income. For the operating businesses, lenders weigh asset condition, regulatory standing, and concentration.
