Auto Service Company on the Maine Coast MOTIVATED SELLER!

QUALITY MUFFLER & AUTO SERVICE is owned by two of the warmest and friendliest folks in the State of Maine. This is a family owned and run business for the last 25 years in one of the prettiest and fastest growing areas in Maine. Their commitment to QUALITY SERVICE gives their name credence and value and has helped them to grow a repeat customer base of over 5000. Not only do the locals return time after time, but the summer repeat travellers soon learn that this is the place to have their cars serviced away from home. Though they have been long term tenants of the property, there is an opportunity for ownership of the property as well. This would then give the new owner of this business a commercial investment in this fast growing area that would serve them well over the enxt 10-20 years of ownership and potential resale. The Darmiscotta/Newcastle area is perhaps one of the top most beautiful places in Maine, standing up there with Camden and Bar Harbor. The business traffic flow is over 20,000 MDOT and the local traffic flow close to 5000MDOT Jan to March. This small business has nothing to do but grow, it just needs a committed young entrpreneur to take it to its next potential and to live and work in one of the best places on earth...Maine!

Facilities: A fully equipped, 7 bay, (5) 2-post lifts and (2) 4 post drives on lifts, automotive repair facility servicing both foreign and domestic cars, trucks and school buses. Located at a busy intersection near a large supermarket chain, McDonald's and parking for 60 vehicles. Buildings are in good condition and are leased, terms are negotiable and rate is $1400/month. A deep customer list and reputation are second to none!

Competition: Yudy's Tire is located in the same general vicinity. However Quality Muffler has all the School bus contracts within a 50 mile radius and is the only shop that has multiple staff and full disagnostics. There are several 1-man shops around. Foreign cars and old domestic models are a specialty here and the only shop willing to take on serious and difficult jobs at a reasonable cost. Spring through early Fall is their best season because of the influx of summer residents, tourism and the higher incomes for those involved in fishing and construction.

Growth/Expansion: The owners have done little if any advertizing. Their Gross Sales are initiated by word of mouth, great service and reputation over the years of standing behind their work. There is incredible room for growth, as they are tired, overextended in other parts of their lives and need to retire. They are incredibly motivated and would likely not say no to any offer for this outstanding, small business venture in Maine. There are two other buildings on site that could be used to expand the business and there remains an option to purchase the buildings,

Support/Training: The Owners would stay on to help train at no cost for as long as the new owners would like them.

Reason Selling: Age and health concerns and just plain need to retire now!
