New Price: Advanced Automotive Diagnostics & Repair Shop with Real Estate

This Santa Fe repair shop has built its reputation on solving problems other shops cannot. Operating from a 6,000-square-foot facility, the business specializes in advanced diagnostics and complex mechanical repairs, including engine, transmission, suspension, and electrical problems that are often misdiagnosed or declined elsewhere. The shop serves approximately 665 customers annually from an active customer base of more than 1,200. A 4.9-star Google rating and a business built almost entirely through repeat customers and referrals reinforce the shop’s longstanding reputation for technical expertise. That reputation has translated into strong financial performance. Gross margins reached 63% in 2025, well above industry benchmarks, and a recent increase in labor rates is pushing margins even higher in 2026. The business is operated by two partners, including the lead master technician and diagnostician who is willing to remain on staff for up to five years post-closing. The second partner is the service writer/administrator who is available for a three-to-six month transition. Appraised at $1.55 million, the real estate is also available. Purchasing the business and real estate together may qualify for a longer amortization period and lower interest rate. The owner is willing to seller-finance the business for a qualified buyer. For a new owner, the business combines an established reputation, strong margins, minimal transition risk, and substantial upside.
