Established Auto Collision Repair Business – Fully Equipped Facility
$ 165,000
Excellent opportunity to acquire a well-established auto collision and body repair business that has served its market for seven years. The business previously generated annual revenues exceeding $900,000 for multiple years, demonstrating a proven operating history and strong earning potential. Due to the owner’s personal health circumstances, business activity has declined in recent years. This creates an attractive turnaround opportunity for an experienced owner-operator, auto body professional, or strategic buyer capable of restoring sales through active management and marketing. The business operates from a 4,800-square-foot freestanding facility with a low rental rate and the possibility of a long-term lease. The shop is fully equipped with the machinery, tools, and operational assets necessary to provide comprehensive collision repair, bodywork, and automotive refinishing services. A buyer can resume or expand operations with minimal additional capital investment. The facility, equipment, established reputation, and historical sales performance provide a solid foundation for future growth. Significant upside potential exists for a hands-on operator who can rebuild customer volume, develop referral relationships, and maximize the shop’s existing capacity. The paint booth license and all related permits are current and in good standing. This is an asset sale. Select financial information will be provided to qualified buyers upon execution of a confidentiality agreement.

Plans are in place to launch a SEO campaign early in 2026 directed at the new territories. The company expanded to Phoenix and Tucson, AZ late 2023 with about $1M revenue boost in 2025 largely due to the request of Southern CA customers with operations there.
