The company is a full-service collision repair facility located North of Boston. Equipment includes a frame machine and downdraft spraybooth. The sale includes the real estate. This is a well-established, highly visible business that does excellent work and has a consistent base of walk-in and word-of-mouth customers. It has good potential for growth in a number of ways: adding staff to meet demand, selling used cars (including ones they find and repair at the shop),or offering routine maintenance. Current owner has not actively marketed the business and the company does not have a website.

Facilities: 3,800 sq foot building (circa 1945). Lot is about 17,000 sq. ft. Has great visibility with location on a well-traveled road. Equipment includes a down-draft spraybooth w/baking system.

Competition: With its great visibility and location on a well-travelled road, it has a consistent base of walk-in retail and word-of-mouth customers. Some competition.

Growth/Expansion: Shop could be grown through more aggressive marketing, i.e., investing in local newspaper ads, establishing a Web site. Sales could also be increased by adding additional staff. Could broaden services to include more general maintenance work as tire rotation, oil change and alignments. Could also sell used cars (it has a license) or repair and sell damaged cars that are repairable.

Financing: $225,000 Down from buyer
