Profitable Truck Repair Business
THE BUSINESS Founded in 2011, this profitable, owner-operated heavy truck repair and fleet service business has spent more than 15 years earning the trust of commercial fleet customers in Lake Orion, Michigan. The Company operates out of a fully-equipped 9,210 sq ft facility with six (6) service bays, including TWO dedicated crane service bays — a capability very few independent shops in the region can match. The business is genuinely one-stop: truck and trailer diagnostics, preventative maintenance, DOT inspections, drivetrain and differential service, alignment (on an in-house Hunter alignment machine), welding and fabrication, hydraulic hose fabrication (Gates crimper on-site), crane truck service, and on-call mobile field work. Fleet managers return because they can solve every problem in one place — with technicians who actually know diesel. The owners will sell the business separate from the building. THE NUMBERS WHY IT STANDS OUT GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES Formalizing fleet maintenance agreements with top accounts • Adding a second shift to increase bay utilization • Selling annual DOT inspection packages • Expanding mobile/field service at premium pricing • Extending into light-duty fleet (box trucks, vans, step vans) • Bundled tire and alignment packages leveraging the Hunter rack • Local SEO, Google Business optimization, and fleet-manager outreach TRANSACTION Asset Sale structure. Cash, A/R, and A/P retained by seller. Inventory target at closing: $5,000. Standard non-compete and training/transition package included. Full data room released post-NDA. Please do not contact the business directly. All showings will be by appointment after hours.

The current owner grew the business through relationships — sales and marketing are essentially untapped.

Competition / Market
Heavy-duty truck service capacity in the GM Orion corridor is chronically constrained. Major national operators (Penske, Ryder) run at over-capacity and outsource overflow Class-8 service. Competing independent crane-served shops are rare — the 7.5-ton crane configuration cannot be permitted and built in under 12 months today, creating a durable competitive moat.
Inventory / Stock Value
$5,000 - included in the asking price
Reason for Selling
Retirement after 15 years of successful ownership. Owner is committed to a smooth transition with 30-60 days of buyer paid training and post-close paid consulting.
