How do I sell my auto shop in New Haven County?
Most shops in New Haven County that change hands do it quietly, owner to owner. You can talk to a buyer, learn what your options are and still decide not to sell.
If this sounds like youYou want to sell, but you don't want a sign out front or your regulars hearing it at the counter. You want it done close to home and done right.

What you can do.
Sell privately to one buyer
Quiet and simple. Nobody knows until you say so.
Use a broker
More reach, a fee and more people in the loop.
Sell the shop, lease the building
Rent keeps coming in every month.
Sell both together
One deal, and you can step away.
What to watch for.
- Keep early talks to you and the buyer until you're sure.
- Ask for a simple confidentiality agreement before you share numbers.
- Have a plan for when and how you'll tell your team.
