Description

This listing presents an excellent opportunity to acquire Big Bear Auto Repair, a well-established and NAPA-certified automotive service center located in the popular Big Bear Lake, California. With 37 years of continuous operation, it is the oldest and most recognized auto shop in the area. Situated on the main boulevard, just two miles from the ski resort, the business benefits from its prime location in a four-season resort destination, attracting both local residents and a steady stream of tourists. The facility offers full-service repairs for cars, light trucks, and RVs, including tire sales and alignment. The business model is highly efficient, with 80% employee operation, allowing for significant growth potential by extending operating hours beyond the current Monday-Friday schedule, especially to capture weekend and holiday tourist traffic. Financials show a gross revenue of $450,000 and a Seller's Discretionary Earnings (SDE) of $125,000. The asking price is $350,000, which includes $150,000 in FF&E and $2,000 in inventory. The leased 2,300 sq ft facility has a monthly rent of $2,800, with the lease expiring in August 2029. An assumable SBA loan of $103,000 at 3.75% is also available. This turnkey operation is ideal for an owner-operator or investor looking for a stable, profitable business in a desirable location with substantial room for expansion.
