Auto Body Repair Shop

A north central Florida collision repair and restoration shop sold with its own 8,500 square foot premises and all equipment owned outright.

Business Highlights

  • Approximately 8,500 square feet of owned workspace included in the sale
  • All real estate and equipment owned by the business, so no lease and no finance to assume
  • Work spans collision repair, restoration, custom modifications and auto glass
  • Revenue has grown strongly year on year

Considerations / Questions to Ask

  • Collision work usually depends on insurer relationships. Is the shop on any direct repair programmes, and do those transfer?
  • How is the real estate valued inside the asking price?
  • What is the technician headcount, and how exposed is the shop to losing one of them?
  • How does revenue split between insurance-funded collision work and customer-paid restoration and custom work?
  • What is the age and condition of the paint booth and frame equipment?

Opportunities

  • A buyer with insurer relationships could add direct repair volume to a shop that already has the capacity and premises
  • Restoration and custom work carry better margins than insurance collision and are already offered
  • Owning the building removes rent from the cost base and supports a sale-leaseback
  • Auto glass is a high-frequency service that brings customers in for larger work
