Sell Your Auto Repair Business

Repeat customers, ASE-certified technicians, and a clean bay and equipment inventory are what separate a strong auto repair business from a shop that's hard to sell. Tangent Brokerage builds a confidential valuation around your customer retention and technician bench, then screens buyers so you're negotiating only with people who can actually run a repair shop. Backed by 35 years of combined brokerage experience and SBA lender relationships, we handle marketing and negotiation through closing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes an auto repair shop sell for more?

High customer retention, ASE-certified technicians, and a well-maintained bay and equipment inventory. Shops with documented repeat-customer rates sell more easily and at better multiples than transaction-only shops.

Do I need to be ASE certified myself to sell my shop?

No — what matters is whether your technicians are certified and whether the business can run without you personally turning wrenches. Buyer financing and confidence both improve when the shop isn't solely dependent on the owner's skills.

How long does an auto repair shop sale typically take?

Most take 6 to 12 months from valuation to closing. We handle confidential marketing and buyer screening throughout so you can keep the shop running at full capacity.
