Auto Repair - Houston West Side

DISCLAIMER: This shop is for sale but I am temporarily suspending showings. The business was particularly hard hit by the pandemic. So the shop owner...on my advice...has decided to focus on reestablishing his profitability to pre-pandemic levels. We consider this to be in the best interest of both seller and buyer. We want the buyer to have confidence that the advertised profitability is steady and ongoing. I am planning on allowing showings once again in the summer of 2021 after Q2 results are available. YOU NEED TO CALL ME ON THIS DEAL...You need to be interested enough to place a call to the broker. On this transaction and this transaction only...I will only be accepting phone calls. The business is a full service auto repair shop. They work on virtually all cars and trucks. Services include everything from routine maintenance and oil changes to engine replacement. The business is established and and has operated profitably for many years. They are extremely busy and the owner has a hard time keeping up with the work. The owner does work on cars some but mostly runs the busiuness. There is one lead tech, one general tech, and one service writer. The owner's wife works some in the business also but is not full time. The purchase price of $180,000 includes equipment, inventory, customer lists, everything. The equipment includes two lifts, an air compressor, brake lathe, and pretty much anything else you need to run an automotive repair business. The equipment is in good shape. I've been in hundreds of shops, and can say that this shop looks great on the outside and on the inside. The cash flow of $85k assumes that you are the owner and operator. That is pretty much the case on every shop I sell. And you need to be able to work on cars. The owner is the lead mechanic. This is a great shop and I want you to buy this one. But if it doesn’t work for you, maybe give me a call anyway. Half the deals I do are under the radar. I just happen to know the right buyer and the right seller. I sell auto repair shops in Texas. I sell auto repair only. I do not sell any other kinds of businesses. www.rpmshopsales.com Location: Houston, Texas Year Established: 2013 Number of Employees: 3 Real Estate: Leased Building Sq. Ft.: 3,000 Rent: $1,400.00 Per Month Facilities: The business operates from a 3,000 sf leased facility. Three front bay doors and an office and lobby area. The facility is laid out well. Easy in and out. The lease is cheap at $1,400 per month. That is gross rent. Landlord pays property taxes and insurance. Market Outlook/ Competition: The shop has been run profitably for many years. The owner is comfortable at the current level and has not made much of an effort to increase revenue. This shop is ready for some new blood. Growth & Expansion: Virtually any auto repair shop can be improved upon by implementing a well thought out marketing effort. Shops that are for sale are usually being sold by retiring owners. And retiring owners have a strong tendency to rely on reputation and word of mouth. They almost never use direct marketing or social media. This business fits into that category. The core business and reputation is strong but needs new blood to push it to the next level.
