Collision Repair Company

Business Description

For sale is an 8-year-old collision repair center in Arizona, that services individual customers and is located in one of the fastest-growing cities in the state. They work 100% through insurance and offer towing, automotive glass replacement, motorcycle repair, painting, detailing, and paintless dent repair (only for collision-related repairs).

The business works with all insurance companies but is not in contract with any of them, giving them more pricing flexibility. They only use OEM parts (not used, salvaged or aftermarket) and focus more on increasing revenue per car versus bringing in more cars. They buy significant OEM parts from their leading supplier making them the fifth largest customer in the nation for purchasing those particular parts. Currently they have around $381,700 in FF&E.

50% of business is repeat customers, 20% are from Google reviews, and 30% are referrals. They work on three to five cars per week and have an average order value ranging from $13,000 to $15,000 per claim.

The owners’ roles will need to be replaced as they want to pursue other entrepreneurial ventures and have the flexibility to move out of state. Two full-time employees can manage the shop and are cross-trained in the owner’s responsibilities (except for Quickbooks and accounting). They hire subcontractors (there are three main ones they work with) to keep overhead low, and the owners are confident they will stay with the company post-sale.

There are no specific licenses or certifications needed to run the business. Prior experience in collision is helpful but not necessary and can be learned. It should be noted that the previous three years’ of financials have been audited by an accredited accounting firm.
