Marketing description

This rare opportunity presents a turnkey automotive business for sale, complete with prime commercial real estate on high-visibility College Avenue in Fort Collins, Colorado. The package includes the established operations of Auto Trends, the property itself, and all furniture, fixtures, equipment (FF&E), and business-owned tools and diagnostic systems— allowing the new owner to begin full operations immediately without additional investment.

Auto Trends is a well-established, profitable business specializing in high-quality, reputable vehicle service and maintenance. It enjoys a strong reputation across Northern Colorado, supported by a loyal customer base of clients who depend on the business for expert repairs, upgrades, consultation, and ongoing service.

The facility offers exceptional functionality with 6 service bays for simultaneous vehicle handling. Strategically positioned along College Avenue—one of Fort Collins’ busiest corridors—the property delivers constant high-traffic exposure and brand visibility. Owning the real estate eliminates lease risks, controls occupancy costs, enables unrestricted improvements, and captures long-term appreciation in a market with high-frontage properties.

This acquisition minimizes startup risks by delivering a proven, profitable operation with existing revenue, customers, experienced specialized technicians, established systems, vendor networks, and scheduled appointments. The seller provides comprehensive transition support, ongoing referrals, and business introductions, enabling immediate revenue generation and a seamless handover.

Buyer can use the property for an auto sales dealership.
