Description
The business operates as a full-service repair facility providing diagnostics, mechanical repair, preventative maintenance, tire services, and electrical work for a broad range of passenger vehicles and light trucks. Operations are supported by an experienced team of technicians, service personnel, and shop-level management, allowing the owner to maintain a primarily oversight and administrative role rather than performing day-to-day repair work.
The company operates from a fully equipped four-bay facility with modern diagnostic equipment, and a streamlined operating structure. Revenue is highly diversified across a large active customer base with no individual customer concentration, supporting stable and recurring cash flow.
This opportunity is well suited for either an experienced owner-operator or an investor seeking a stable service business with an established team and operational infrastructure already in place. Multiple growth opportunities exist through expanded operating hours, increased marketing efforts, service mix expansion, and operational optimization under new ownership.
Real estate is available for purchase in conjunction with the business, and the seller strongly prefers to sell both together. The sale of the real estate will be coordinated through a licensed Illinois real estate broker.
Growth opportunities exist through expanded operating hours, increased marketing efforts, and improved customer retention initiatives. Additional upside may be achieved by increasing bay utilization, optimizing technician productivity, and expanding into higher-margin service categories and specialty automotive work. The business also provides a platform for continued growth under more active operational management or strategic ownership.
