Auto Repair Businesses & Shops for Sale

An automotive repair shop is an establishment where automobiles are repaired by auto mechanics and technicians. An auto mechanic is a mechanic with a variety of automobile makes or either in a specific area or in a specific make of automobile. In repairing cars, their main role is to diagnose the problem accurately and quickly. Basic vehicle maintenance is a fundamental part of a mechanic's work in modern industrialized countries, while in others they are only consulted when a vehicle is already showing signs of malfunction. Preventive maintenance is also a fundamental part of a mechanic's job, but this is not possible in the case of vehicles that are not regularly maintained by a mechanic. With an estimated 15,500 automotive repair & auto service businesses in the USA which provide car repair and truck repair and maintenance services, the auto repair & auto service industry is valued at around $875 billion annually. The average length of vehicle ownership has increased by 60% in the last decade. A typical car on the road in the U.S. is a record-high 11.5 years old, according to an IHS Automotive survey. This creates more demand for independent local small auto repair shops, mechanic, auto maintenance & tune-up shops and quick service auto repair franchises & local auto service centers, as almost 75% of aftermarket auto repairs are performed by small & independent automotive repair shops, compared to 25% auto repairs performed at auto dealerships and service centers.

Starting vs Buying a Auto Repair Business for Sale

Starting or buying and running a Auto Repair Business or Automotive related businesses such as Auto Repair Businesses FOR SALE, Franchises Mechanic Shop Service Center businesses or complimenting and supporting services such as Automotive Repair Shops, Auto Service Shop, Car Tune-Up Shops, Vehicle Tuneup, Truck Repair Shop, Car Mechanic Shop, Auto Maintenance & Tune Up Shop, RV Repair Service, Truck Repair Service, Auto Maintenance, Automotive Shop, Truck Repair Facility, Automotive ... etc., can be an exciting, challenging and a rewarding experience especially, to those who are passionate about their work.

If you are interested in starting a small Auto Repair business or related company, buying an established Auto Repair business or an existing Auto Repair franchise for sale near you or buying a Automotive related online business, can be one of the best ways to start your own small business. It is fairly easy to start a business in current times but making it profitable and keeping it profitable is not easy and only a small percentage of startups stay in business beyond five years and only a few reach consistent profitability. There are several advantages in buying an existing Auto Repair or Automotive related business with an established customer base when compared to starting a new Auto Repair company and it may also be easier to finance an existing business than to obtain financing for a new start-up, wherein the banker will want you to show assets and collateral along with a solid business plan, before even considering providing any financial assistance. This is no different than financing a vehicle or real estate with a small down payment rather than paying the full price but and the lender is happy to finance as long as the business is cash flow positive, instead of paying the full amount but only in case of buying a business, the amount can be so large that most people do not have the money to make an upfront purchase and even if they do, most small and large businesses are financed via debt or equity financing.

There are more cars, trucks, vans and busses on the road than ever before but interestingly most of them are 10 years or older. Hence, car, truck and auto aftermarket services and sales are in great demand and the trend is expected to continue as most owners want to keep their cars longer. This only means that the business for auto services is in a great demand and if there ever was a good time to start an automotive Auto Repair business now may be it. You may consider buying an established Auto Repair Businesses FOR SALE, Franchises Mechanic Shop Service Center Automotive Repair Shops, Auto Service Shop, Car Tune-Up Shops, Vehicle Tuneup, Truck Repair Shop, Car Mechanic Shop, Auto Maintenance & Tune Up Shop, RV Repair Service, Truck Repai... etc., Instead of just thinking about the main product or the business, also think about other opportunities that may exist with regards to services centered around a Auto Repair business or if it is possible to rebrand or introduce complimenting or other related services such as ecommerce, distribution, and customer acquisition possibilities, etc., While there are many considerations, when it comes to buying a business and the purpose of this page is not meant to outline all the details on how to buy a Auto Repair business, the first and foremost factor is that, one would want to find a profitable business to buy and it is great if it is with business financing arrangement in place with pre-approval for a loan from a SBA qualified lender or a third-praty lender and better if it is a owner financed company but in some cases established businesses and aged shell companies are bought even if they are not profitable. In many cases the company or product can be re-branded later or additional services can be added to existing business to acquire and expand market share but also to finance and even to go public, such as a recent example of an electric vehicle start-up that bank rolled their startup by acquiring a shell company and went public. Also, keep in mind that while starting a new Auto Repair company is not too hard, running a business is not easy and making it consistently profitable and growing it is another thing because a vast number of small business that are started will usually fail within first few years and a small number of them are consistently profitable. Hence, buying an existing Auto Repair Businesses & Shops or franchise with cash flow can be a better option, depending upon the type of business and its finances.

Buying a Small Auto Repair Business from a Business Owner vs Broker

Many users seem to be searching online for Auto Repair Businesses FOR SALE, Franchises Mechanic Shop Service Center & and Automotive Repair Shops, Auto Service Shop, Car Tune-Up Shops, Vehicle Tuneup, Truck Repair Shop, Car Mechanic Shop, Auto Maintenance & Tune ... related business for sale by owner and may be it is because buyers are led to believe that they can negotiate better with the owner or get a better deal. Despite websites and marketplaces like our's which facilitate any independent small business owner to sell a business directly, most small Automotive businesses are still sold through brokers and hence no FSBO websites & marketplaces have been successful. Also a very few businesses listed by owners eventually get sold because most sellers price it higher than what it is worth or do not use real valuation metrics, whereas an experienced broker in the Auto Repair - Automotive related industry will price it based on the market metrics and valuation, so that they can sell it quickly because keeping it on market for too long can be counter productive. There are also other advantages of dealing with a qualified and experienced broker but in the end whether it is an FSBO business or listed by a broker, everything depends on the real value of the business, current market conditions.

Whether you are buying a Auto Repair business from an independent small business owner or form a broker, the most important factor or the first step is to evaluate the business to make sure the business is priced right or at a discount. You can either use an evaluation software or in some cases you can find valuation metrics online or you can hire an accountant, CPA, professional appraiser or a broker who can use provide a good valuation. While the valuation metrics differ with the type of company, industry and current market conditions, the most used metric for valuation is based on EBITDA or SDE ie Seller's Discretionary Earnings. Buying a small business can be once in a lifetime event for most people and before you put your hard earned savings in the business, always seek advice from a qualified business professional such as licensed broker, M&A advisor, consultant, small business accountant or a lawyer with regards to verification of finances, drafting contracts and price negotiation.
