Sell Your Auto Body Shop | Tangent Brokerage

Auto body shops are valued on DRP (direct repair program) relationships with insurers, equipment certifications for late-model vehicles, and technician retention — all things a buyer will dig into during due diligence. Tangent Brokerage prepares a confidential valuation that puts a number on those relationships and certifications, then markets your shop to buyers actively consolidating in the collision repair space. With 35 years of combined brokerage experience and SBA lender relationships, we manage the sale from valuation to closing.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do DRP relationships add to value?

Significant — direct repair program relationships with insurers represent a documented, recurring referral pipeline, and buyers actively consolidating in collision repair will pay a premium for shops with multiple established DRP agreements.

Does equipment for late-model vehicles matter?

Yes — certifications and equipment for aluminum repair, ADAS calibration, and other late-model requirements expand the vehicles you can service and are viewed as a growth asset by buyers, not just a cost.

What happens to technicians during the sale?

Technician retention is one of the first things buyers ask about, since certified techs are hard to replace. We help structure the deal, and often a transition period, to keep key staff in place through closing.
