Featured Deal
Established in 2016, this founder-led collision repair business operates in a rapidly expanding suburban market. The company specializes exclusively in insurance-funded repairs, offering a full suite of services including towing, painting, motorcycle repair, automotive glass replacement, and paintless dent removal tied to collision damage.
The business stands out for its high-efficiency model, emphasizing revenue per vehicle over volume, averaging $13K–$15K per job. Operating independently of direct repair programs (DRPs), the company maintains pricing flexibility and relies solely on original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts. It ranks among the top national purchasers from its primary parts supplier, contributing to strong vendor relationships.
Customer acquisition is driven entirely by word-of-mouth, online reviews, and referrals, with more than 70% of business from returning or referred clients. Operations are lean, supported by two full-time employees and subcontracted specialists. Ownership pursued the sale to transition into new ventures and have the flexibility to relocate out of state.
