This long-standing independent automotive repair shop has been a trusted part of its community for more than five decades. Established in 1973 and still owned by its original founder, the business has built a strong reputation for honest service, deep technical expertise, and long-term customer relationships. The company provides a full range of automotive repair and maintenance services, including routine oil changes, diagnostics, brake service, engine and transmission replacements, and a variety of complex mechanical repairs. A distinguishing specialty of the shop is its capability to service and restore older and antique vehicles, including carburetor and differential rebuilds, a skill set that is increasingly rare in today’s automotive service market. The shop has 2 Lifts and 4 Bays, Outside Slab for another car lift and additional parking. The property features a secure 6-foot fence topped with barbed wire, two rolling gates, ample parking inside the fenced area, and at least eight additional parking spaces outside. Two 8x15-foot sheds provide additional storage. An air-conditioned office is also included. The current owner has cultivated an excellent reputation for fair and honest service and quality workmanship. This turnkey operation presents a fantastic opportunity for a new owner to step into a well-established and profitable business with a strong existing customer base. Over the years, the business has developed a loyal base of repeat customers, many of whom have been bringing their vehicles to the shop since the 1970s. The company has historically relied almost entirely on reputation and word-of-mouth referrals rather than formal advertising, reflecting the strength of its standing in the community. The operation is intentionally streamlined and owner-operated, supported by a small team that manages daily service operations, scheduling, parts ordering, invoicing, and customer communications. The business operates Monday through Friday during standard business hours, providing a stable and manageable schedule for ownership. The owner, now approaching retirement, is seeking a qualified buyer who can continue serving the established customer base and preserve the reputation the business has built over more than fifty years. The seller has indicated a willingness to assist with a transition period to help ensure continuity with long-standing customers and vendors. Highlights: • Over 54 years of continuous operation under the same ownership • Strong local reputation with a loyal, repeat customer base • Full-service automotive repair capabilities from routine maintenance to major mechanical work • Established commercial fleet accounts • Referral-driven business with minimal marketing historically required • Owner willing to assist with transition
