Business description
Most auto shops fix cars. The smart ones become the default answer when something goes wrong. This Sonoma County repair business has quietly built exactly that: loyal repeat customers, consistent profitability, and a strong local reputation. Operated by an experienced team of 5 plus an owner-operator, the shop services a broad mix of vehicle brands and models. The real advantage? You’re not just buying cash flow — you’re buying the property too (valued at ~$1.25M). SBA financing is pre-approved with 10% down, 25-year term, and rates around 7%. A rare chance to own both the business and the real estate in a high-demand market. 11238 REDUCED PURCHASE PRICE
