Guides for shop owners · Massachusetts and Connecticut

What is my auto repair building worth?

Auto buildings are a special kind of property. Bays, lifts, zoning and the road out front all matter, and fewer buyers know how to value them.

If this sounds like youYou own the building your shop sits in and you're wondering what it's worth on its own.

Your options

What you can do.

OPTION 1

Location and traffic

Busy roads with good visibility are worth more.

OPTION 2

Bays and ceiling height

More bays and room for lifts raise the value.

OPTION 3

Zoning

Being allowed to run auto repair there matters a lot.

OPTION 4

Condition

Roof, doors, lot and environmental history.

Before you decide

What to watch for.

  • Old underground tanks or spills lower the price, so know your history.
  • Zoning can be hard to get again if a building sits empty.
  • An appraiser who knows auto property helps.
