These two high volume test only facilities are strategically located. The two locations test over 9,000 cars per year. If these were converted to Gold Shield status it is reasonable to expect that the revenue could easily be doubled. This is based on the following assumptions: 2005- 2007 average # of tests per year -- 9,394 Average fail rate percent of the period -- 17.12%, number of failed vehicles per year -- 1,616, Test revenue average for the period -- $477,173, Additional revenue with repair, assuming $350 average repair bill per failed test -- $565,700 Business is increasing in 2009 due to the fact that cars that were previously exempt (less that 6 yrs old) are now required to be checked. Also, new rules will require testing for diesels.

Facilities: Main location is owned by the seller and the property can be purchased separately. The parcel measure 104 X 190 with the existing 8 yr. old building occupying the front half. A new owner could build on the rear portion and expand to become a full service auto repair, or perhaps build a small office building, etc. The building has 3 bays with three dynos in place. All are dreive-thru bays. The second location is in a leased facility that the seller has first right of refusal to purchase.

Competition: These two high volume test only facilities are strategically located in the city. The two locations test over 9,000 cars per year. If these were converted to Gold Shield status it is reasonable to expect that the revenue could easily be doubled.

Growth/Expansion: * Convert to Gold Shield status * Current economy dictates people are holding on to cars longer * City has high percentage of seniors and is growing rapidly * Q. 12009 tests exceeded first quarter '08 by over 300 cars--20% growth * New requirements for diesel testing take affect in 2009.

Financing: will consider for qualified buyer

Support/Training: 2 weeks included in price

Reason Selling: Owner's health, retirement
