Tire and Service Shop in Local Community

16/wk

Turnkey tire and service shop in a friendly town between Omaha and Des Moines. This tire and auto shop has been in operation since 1986, with the current owner in place since 2008. With 5 hoists and room to add one more, the current absentee owner made a 95% increase in cash flow between 2013 and 2014, and stabilized the cash flow subsequently. This shop also specializes in commercial and agricultural tires, thus providing a competitive edge over other shops that only service passenger vehicles. The current consumer mix is 60% tire sales and 40% service work. Of the tire sales, 70% are consumer tires, with 20% being farm equipment, and the remaining 10% of sales being lawn and garden equipment. Offering farm service calls and Over The Road (OTR) mobile service for emergencies provides an extra level of customer service and peace of mind for their loyal customers.
A buyer (absentee owner) with a down payment of $16,500 would profit $20,861, or 126% in the first year after all debts and expenses are paid.
