How do I sell my auto repair shop in Connecticut?
Most Connecticut shops change hands quietly, owner to owner. The hard part usually isn't finding a buyer. It's finding one you trust with your people and your name.
If this sounds like youYou own a shop in Connecticut, maybe the building too, and you're starting to think about how to get out.
What you can do.
A buyer who runs it themselves
Keeps the shop local and the team in place.
A larger outside group
Often more structured, and the shop may change a lot.
Lease the building, sell the business
Steady rent and you keep the property.
Sell both together
Simplest and cleanest.
What to watch for.
- Pull your last three years of profit and loss.
- List what you own: lifts, tools, equipment and the building.
- Think about timing: busy season numbers help.
