Facilities
Business is located in the upper-middle-class neighborhoods convenient to Washington, DC Suburban-Montgomery County, MD market. Two well-equipped 3,000 s.f. retail/garage facilities surrounded by an excellent automotive repair market! Has high 17’ ceilings in the vehicle repair areas. Can double revenue by adding two additional Class A or B mechanics as OWNERS. Business is very well known & highly respected in their market area. Business is made up of two shops, side-by-side, with one specializing in luxury European autos, plus General Automotive.
Competition
This quality Auto Repair business has limited competition in this booming close-in MD suburb market, due to its quality auto repairs, great customer service & competitive pricing. It is highly rated by its long-term clients, as well as the Washington Consumer Checkbook Magazine. It is surrounded by well-heeled professionals who can afford to take good care of their cars. The business enjoys a high margin, prestigious Specialty Luxury European Auto Niche Market & General Automotive Branding. Used the same name and telephone number for over 47 years!
Growth & Expansion
Prospective buyers will enjoy working with us due to our prompt buyer response, books that match the Tax Returns & complete Business Records. We work with you in Due Diligence via a Non-Binding Letter of Intent to transact the Business Deal with minimum pressure. The recent economic downturn has caused us to reduce our Asking Price. Now that the economy is regaining strength, our sales & profits are steadily increasing, and new & used autos are overpriced, folks are fixing up their old cars. Take advantage of our current reduced pricing and financing!
Financing
Consider financing Qualified Buyer with significant downpayment and good credit histo
Support & Training
The Retiring Owner will consider entering into a post-settlement contract to assist the buyer(s) to bring the business back to the Pre-Covid/Tight hiring market levels and hopefully higher! Should the Experienced Auto Mechanic Buyer(s) lack Business Management Skills, full Business Administrative training & Ticket Writing by the Retiring Master Mechanic Seller.
Reason for Selling
Retiring Owner has run shop for 47 years + spend more time with family & showing
