Description
A rare opportunity to acquire a long-standing, triple-certified (ASE, ACDelco, NAPA AutoCare) automotive service business in Los Angeles County. In continuous operation for over 60 years, the business holds decades of accumulated goodwill, deep institutional and B2B fleet relationships, and a fully equipped 16-bay facility, all currently underutilized under passive, semi-retired ownership.
This is a clear value-add opportunity. With only a fraction of the facility's bay capacity actively staffed and minimal proactive business development underway, a motivated operator has a direct path to materially grow revenue and margin through active management, team expansion, and renewed business development, without the capital cost or lead time of building a comparable shop from the ground up.
Key Investment Highlights:
- Flexible Deal Structure: Highly motivated seller looking to retire and open to creative sale structures.
- 60+ Years in Business: Generational customer loyalty and longstanding institutional and B2B relationships built over decades.
- Industry Certifications: ASE, ACDelco, and NAPA AutoCare credentials, signaling a credible, established operation.
- Room to Grow: Large 16-bay footprint with capacity well beyond current staffing and throughput levels.
- No Build-Out Required: Fully equipped with FF&E and inventory included, buyer steps directly into an operating shop.
Ideal Buyer Profile:
This opportunity is best suited for an experienced auto repair operator or strategic competitor looking to expand capacity and absorb institutional accounts, or a hands-on owner-operator ready to actively manage and grow an established platform. Given current underutilization, this is a strong fit for a buyer focused on active business development rather than a passive investment.

Legacy High-End Driving School – Los Angeles Area | SBA 7(a) Pre-Qualified for Qualified Buyer
$ 638,000
CF : $ 208,332
Rare opportunity to acquire a long-established, highly reputable Los Angeles area driving school with SBA 7(a) financing pre-qualification available for a qualified buyer. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced driving school owner/operator looking to expand in the Los Angeles market, or for a qualified licensed driving instructor ready to step into ownership of an established platform with history, infrastructure, vehicles, instructors, and brand recognition already in place. Founded in 1980, this respected driving school has served generations of students and families throughout the Los Angeles area. The business offers teen, adult, senior, corporate, and specialized driving instruction services and has built a strong reputation for professionalism, safety, and quality instruction. Business Highlights: - Established driving school with decades of operating history - Premium Los Angeles area market - Longstanding reputation and recognizable name - Multiple service lines including teen, adult, senior, and corporate driving programs - 7 instructors plus office support staff - Fleet of 10 owned vehicles included in the sale - Seller training and transition support available - Strong opportunity for growth through expanded marketing, online booking, referral programs, fleet utilization, instructor hiring, and geographic expansion SBA 7(a) financing pre-qualification available for a qualified buyer, subject to lender approval Ideal Buyer Profile: This business is especially well-suited for: - An existing driving school operator seeking expansion - A licensed driving instructor ready to own and operate their own business - An experienced education, transportation, or service-business operator - A hands-on buyer with sufficient down payment, operating capability, and commitment to continuing the company’s legacy SBA Financing Opportunity: The business has received SBA 7(a) loan pre-qualification consideration for a qualified buyer. Preliminary financing terms indicate the possibility of acquisition financing with an estimated 10-year fully amortizing structure and no prepayment penalty, subject to full lender underwriting, diligence, credit approval, buyer qualifications, licensing, documentation, and final commitment. A qualified buyer will need to demonstrate appropriate financial strength, liquidity, operating capability, U.S. citizenship status, and licensing eligibility. Additional working capital may be included in the financing if supported by cash flow and lender approval. Why This Opportunity Stands Out: Many buyers look for a business with a proven brand, operating history, trained staff, vehicles, systems, and market presence. This opportunity offers an established foundation with room for a motivated owner/operator to modernize, expand, and continue growing the business. For the right buyer, this is not a start-up. It is a platform acquisition with history, infrastructure, and financing support potentially available. Serious Inquiries Only Confidential information will be released only after completion of NDA and buyer qualification. Buyers should be prepared to provide background, proof of funds/down payment capability, and relevant operating or licensing experience. Call today to learn more about this SBA pre-qualified Los Angeles area driving school opportunity.

Auto Body Shop- Turn Key
Call/Email
Make Offer Turn-Key operation! Established over 30 years ago, this Auto Repair and Body Shop in Santa Fe Springs, California, offers a unique turnkey opportunity for potential buyers. The facility, located in Los Angeles County, spans approximately 11,695 square feet and comes fully equipped with 6 dedicated service bays, optimizing workflow efficiency and accommodating a wide range of automotive service and repair requirements. This business is fully licensed and compliant with all necessary regulatory approvals, including permits from the Air Quality Management District (AQMD), certification from the Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR), and above-ground petroleum tank (AP Tank) licensing. This ensures a smooth transition for the new owner and eliminates startup complexities. The location of the business is a key asset, providing premium visibility on a major commercial corridor, resulting in significant exposure to potential customers. The establishment's long-standing presence at this location over the years has contributed to robust brand equity and customer loyalty. The sale of the business includes provisions for training and support, as negotiated. The reason for selling is due to the pursuit of other interests. The business lease rental terms are competitive and a long-term lease may be possible for qualified buyers, offering operational continuity and long-term stability. This sale presents an excellent investment opportunity for experienced automotive professionals, multi-location operators, or investors seeking an established market presence in the auto repair and body shop sector.

Proven High-Profit Full-Service Auto Body & Collision Repair Business
$ 469,000
This is a full-service auto body and collision repair shop specializing in accident repairs, bodywork, and painting, located in a prime commercial and industrial hub of Los Angeles. The business covers the entire spectrum of services including frame repair, panel replacement, bumper and fender repair, full and partial paint services, dent and scratch restoration, and pre-lease return reconditioning — operating as a truly comprehensive repair facility. Established at the same location since 1961, the business has built decades of trust and a strong local customer base. The current owner acquired the shop in January 2024 and has been operating it as a sole owner on a stable full-time basis. The reason for sale is retirement. 1. Business Overview • Size: Approximately 4,700 sq. ft. • Rent: $10,000 per month • Lease: 5 years remaining with an additional 5-year option • Staff: 4 full staff members (1 technician handling both body & paint work, 1 dedicated painter, 1 paint helper, and 1 office administrator) plus the owner working full-time — total operating team of 5 • Average Monthly Gross Sales: Approximately $77,900 (2025) • Monthly SDE (Owner’s Cash Flow): Approximately $18,332 • Owner Involvement: Full-time • Financing: SBA Loan eligible 2. Revenue Structure This business operates without any DRP (Direct Repair Program) contracts with insurance companies and does not rely on insurance brokers or external referral networks. All revenue is driven organically through: *Proprietary online advertising campaigns *Traffic from online review platforms *Long-established loyal repeat customers and word-of-mouth referrals This structure creates a fully independent and stable revenue model that is not dependent on any single insurance company or referral partner, eliminating the risk associated with contract renewals or DRP relations. A buyer can step into the business and immediately continue operations with the existing customer base intact and unchanged. 3. Key Strengths • SBA Loan eligible — allowing acquisition with reduced upfront capital • Over 60 years of operating history building strong local name recognition • Independent customer acquisition model without DRP dependency • Balanced revenue mix of insurance repairs and cash-pay customers • Full-service, high-ticket operation producing healthy margins • Large functional facility (4,700 sq. ft.) with long-term lease stability • Experienced and well-structured staff enabling streamlined operations This is a turnkey, fully established auto body business with its revenue model already built and stabilized. No additional sales teams, referral agreements, or DRP contracts are required for continuity — the buyer can step in and continue generating immediate and consistent cash flow from day one. With SBA financing eligibility, this opportunity offers substantially reduced capital requirements for acquisition and delivers an excellent return on investment profile for qualified buyers.

Auto Repair Shop – Northridge, CA – 14-Year Established Business
$ 175,000
This is an exceptional opportunity to acquire a well-established, profitable, owner-operated automotive repair business that has successfully served the Northridge and surrounding communities for almost 14 years. Unlike many shops that require multiple employees and significant overhead, this business has been operated efficiently by a single owner-operator and has consistently generated an average of approximately $241,000 in annual gross revenue and over $100,000 in annual owner earnings over the past four years. The business has built a loyal customer base through repeat business, referrals, and a reputation for honest, dependable service. This is a turnkey operation that allows a qualified buyer to step in and immediately begin generating income from day one. Why This Business Stands Out: Years of established operation Consistent financial performance Over $100,000 annual owner income Loyal repeat customer base Excellent local reputation Turnkey operation Low-overhead business model Seller available for transition assistance Growth opportunities have not yet been utilized Facility The shop features: 2 service bays Capacity to accommodate up to 4 vehicles inside of the shop. 8 dedicated parking spaces outside. Equipment and tools necessary for continued operation. All tools and equipment are included in the sale. Convenient Northridge location. In the center of the San Fernando Valley. Close to CSUN, Northridge Fashion center. The building size is 1441 SF, has a high ceiling, 2 double bays, 2 hoists (one is electric). Shop is fully equipped: New shop cooler unit installed last summer 100 gallon3 phase air compressor automotive system scanners and key programming equipment equipment for AC service battery charger battery jumper drill press, belt sander, bench grinders welding machine and cutting torch soldering machines and plastic repair tools, dremmel set and various grinding tools air tools, battery powered tools, corded tools parts washer specialty tools.. 2 used oil tanks, press machine, engine hoist, levelers, 2 engine stands, transmission jack, floor jacks, jack stands, hydraulic cart, 4 other carts hand tools (too much to list) storage fixtures and shelving vintage cabinets: AC Delco, Napa, and Snap on. supplies, chemicals, and hardware inside of the cabinets included... 160sq ft upstairs storage room with mini split ac, desks downstairs office and reception room furniture and devices that include: desks, office supplies, filing cabinets, phones, refrigerator, microwave, tvs, stereo, couch, computers, laser printer, wireless camera system, coffee machine and more. The facility has successfully supported the business for over a decade and provides a practical, organized, and efficient workspace for an owner-operator. Growth Potential One of the most attractive aspects of this opportunity is the untapped growth potential. Owner has never advertised to attract new clients. The current owner has intentionally maintained a manageable workload as a single-person operation. A buyer who wishes to expand could potentially increase revenue through: Hiring one or more technicians Expanding operating hours Increasing online marketing efforts Pursuing fleet maintenance accounts Adding specialized automotive services Developing relationships with local businesses The business has been operated conservatively, leaving substantial room for future growth. Ideal Buyer This opportunity is ideal for: An experienced technician seeking business ownership An owner-operator looking to control their own future An existing shop owner seeking a satellite location An entrepreneur with automotive industry experience A qualified buyer can acquire an established operation with a proven track record rather than starting from scratch. Reason for Sale The owner is selling solely due to family relocation. This is not a distressed sale. The business remains profitable and operational. Transition Support The seller is willing to provide reasonable transition assistance to help ensure a smooth transfer of customer relationships, operations, and business processes. Financial Information Average Annual Revenue (4-Year Average): Approximately $241,000 Average Annual Owner Earnings: Approximately $100,000 Price: $175,000 For any questions please contact Tim at 8184272652. Additional financial information will be made available to qualified buyers upon request.
