Off-market deal: Car repair business with $900K profit and full team

$4M revenue, owner works 30 hours/week

There’s a car repair and dealership business generating $4M annually with $900K in profit that just became available.

The owner works 30 hours per week, and the business has a full team of 8 employees (including 4 technicians) already in place.


The Deal Overview

This is an automotive repair and sales operation with both service and vehicle sales revenue streams.

The current owner works approximately 30 hours per week, suggesting the business has systems and staff capable of handling daily operations without requiring full-time owner involvement.

The team includes 4 technicians plus 4 additional staff members managing other aspects of the business.


The Numbers

Revenue: $4M annually

Profit: $900K

Owner schedule: 30 hours per week

Team: 8 employees (4 technicians + 4 support staff)

With an established team and dual revenue streams (repair services plus vehicle sales), this could be attractive for SBA financing or creative deal structures.

Why this Deal Stands Out

Most automotive businesses require the owner to work full-time and struggle to maintain profitability above $200K-$300K annually.

This operation is already generating $900K in profit with a full technical team in place, which reduces the operational burden on a new owner.

And with just a 30-hour owner work week, this indicates the business has been systematized to function without constant owner oversight.
