Key points
Business description
This auto repair shop presents an excellent opportunity for an owner-operator or a buyer looking to expand an existing operation. The facility is equipped with two above-ground hoists and reported average monthly sales of $17,000 in 2025. The seller maintains a contract with the State of California to perform air-conditioning service for low-income individuals—a high-margin revenue stream. The sale also includes a substantial inventory of oil, batteries, and a wide variety of diagnostic tools. Located within an industrial park, the shop benefits from low overhead but has limited street visibility. This makes it an ideal acquisition for a buyer who can bring an existing customer base or is prepared to boost the shop’s digital presence through a website and social media marketing to drive visibility and traffic. Overall, this is a strong value-add opportunity for someone ready to step in, operate full-time, and revitalize the business. Listing #: 5664 NK
