Transmission & General Auto Repair Shop

Eastern Massachusetts · Greater Boston area

Upon Request Asking Price

An established transmission and general auto repair shop in the Greater Boston area, under the same owner since 2017. The shop does transmission work, general repair and maintenance. A manager and three technicians run it day to day.

Business Overview

Revenue comes from labor and parts on each repair order, from transmission jobs through general repair and maintenance. The owner reports that the shop rebuilds transmissions on its own benches and does some electronic module programming in house. The owner reports that each job follows a set routine: a phone intake, a vehicle check, a quote, parts ordered, usually a deposit, then the repair and payment at pickup. Customers come through phone and web inquiries, online advertising, and referrals. Advertising spend ran $12,312 to $13,540 a year from 2023 to 2025.

Reason for Sale
