Facilities: Inventory is housed in a shed on the owners personal premise. The owners work out of an office in their home. Inventory will have to be relocated by the successful buyer. This business can easily be run out of someone s home office and garage, or space can be leased if one prefers. It can be relocated to anywhere in the Treasure or Magic Valleys without a drop in clients, as clients rarely travel to this place of business.

Competition: Customer service sets one apart from the competition in this business. Since parts wholesalers do not offer exclusives, distributors differentiate themselves on price and customer service. This business has an exhaustive inventory of parts, enabling it to offer same day delivery to most customers. Its long and strong relationships with wholesalers enable it to receive parts quickly.

Growth/Expansion: This business can expand to as many automobile engine repair and body shops as there are in Idaho. All use the parts sold by this company. It s only a matter of exposing them to your competitive pricing and superior customer service. Shop owners who are not current clients are glad to receive sales calls from businesses like this, as shop owners are always looking for competitive pricing and superior customer service.

Support/Training: 60 days of owner training is included in the asking price.

Reason Selling: Seller is retiring.
