Browse 23,078 off-market auto repair shops sourced from SBA loans, PPP payroll, and public records — never listed with a broker. Build a free acquisition thesis and see ranked targets.
Most auto repair shops with strong cash flow sell quietly — to an employee, a competitor, or the first buyer who sent a respectful letter. By the time a business appears on BizBuySell you are one of 30–40 competing buyers and the multiple reflects it. The owners worth contacting are findable years earlier in public data: an SBA loan approaching maturity, a 20+ year operating history from state registries, a fragmented local market with no consolidator yet.
Scouly scores every auto business on three independent public signals: SBA 7(a) and 504 loan maturity dates from data.sba.gov, business formation dates from state registries, and local market fragmentation from OpenStreetMap establishment density. Each company receives a target score from 0–100 and is ranked by acquisition readiness. None of the 23,078 companies in our database are listed with a broker.
Scouly covers 51 states. Build a free acquisition thesis to filter by state, metro, business age, or SBA loan history and see ranked targets in any geography.
