Strong Tower Valuations provides certified, defensible business valuations for auto repair shops, collision centers, dealerships, parts suppliers, and other automotive-related businesses. Whether you're preparing to sell, bring on a partner, or support a legal or tax-related matter, our team delivers clarity and confidence in your business’s true worth.

Why Accurate Valuation Is Critical in the Automotive Industry

Automotive businesses are often complex—balancing fixed assets like equipment and facilities with fluctuating inventory, labor costs, insurance relationships, and revenue streams tied to customer retention and referral networks. A surface-level valuation won’t cut it. We dig deep into the financials and operational drivers that influence value, offering insights tailored to your business type—whether you're a multi-bay repair shop or a high-volume used car dealership.

What We Analyze in an Automotive Valuation

Our valuation process includes a full financial and operational review. We assess:

• Historical revenue trends and profitability
• Technician efficiency and labor cost structures
• Service mix: mechanical repair, collision work, parts sales, etc.
• Customer concentration and referral sources
• Recurring revenue programs (warranty work, fleet contracts, maintenance plans)
• Equipment, lifts, diagnostic tools, and real estate (if applicable)

We deliver a full narrative report backed by proven valuation methodologies, helping owners, partners, and advisors understand how each piece of the business contributes to overall enterprise value.

When Should You Get a Business Valuation?

For many automotive business owners, valuation is often reactive—but there are plenty of strategic times to be proactive:

• Succession Planning: Ensure a smooth transition to family members or partners
• Exit Strategy: Sell your business for what it's truly worth
• Partnership Buyouts: Establish a fair, independent value during transitions
• Divorce or Litigation: Provide certified valuation support in legal proceedings
• Bank Financing or SBA Loans: Support funding applications with professional reports
• Franchise Sales or Transfers: Comply with disclosure and financial review requirements
