AUTOMOTIVE SERVICE COMPANY ACQUISITIONS

A partner and I are exploring the acquisition and expansion of multiple automotive service facilities in the Southern California region. Does anybody have any similar experience they could share, or perhaps a good business broker who operates in the transportation industry they could recommend?

I've got a little experience in automotive/fleet services in SoCal from my past at Evercar and Vision Fleet. I now own a company acquired through a search acquisition roll-up strategy, and invest with other operators as well. I'd suggest Todd Moore at Premier - [redacted[redacted]8304 in Campbell CA. He helped us acquire our business a few years back and I know he does quite a bit of automotive services. He was an excellent broker. Will connect via DM.
