Established Auto Repair Business with Growth Potential

Overview: This auto repair shop, operating since 2001, is a well-established and profitable entity located in King County, WA. It offers a comprehensive range of mechanical services such as brakes, oil changes, HVAC, electrical work, fuel systems, timing belts, transmissions, and suspension repairs. The business, which is not part of a franchise, averages servicing 45 vehicles weekly, with a typical repair order amounting to $680. Staffing includes a manager/service writer and three automotive technicians, with the current owner actively involved in daily operations. The owner's spouse contributes part-time for administrative tasks. The stated SDE accounts for hiring a new technician at $65,000 annually to assume repair duties from the owner, who is retiring after 25 years. This presents a prime opportunity to acquire a successful shop and expand its operations. Property Highlights: The facility boasts significant exposure on a major road, covering approximately 2,800 sq. ft. on a 26,000 sq. ft. lot. It features 6 service bays, 4 lifts, and a dedicated oil change pit, along with ample parking. Monthly rent is set at $10,000, with a long-term lease available. Market Position: With a quarter-century of operation, this shop enjoys a strong reputation and a loyal customer base, attributed to its commitment to quality and service. The auto repair sector is resilient, ensuring consistent demand for services. The current owner has not prioritized marketing, with only 1% of revenue allocated to advertising, yet revenues have stabilized in recent years. A new owner could leverage the existing framework to enhance marketing efforts and drive growth. Reason for Sale: The owner is retiring. Additional Information: The property is leased, and the owner is prepared to provide training for the new owner. This is not a home-based or franchise resale opportunity.
