Smog Test Only
Status as of Nov-22-2008 at 06:00 PM: Active
Business Summary
It’s the law! Most cars in California must pass a smog test. This has created a great opportunity for these types of businesses to flourish. Also, it should be noted that the DMV randomly selects 2% of all registered cars to be designated to go to a “Test Only” station for their smog certificate. This is one of those rare businesses where you do not have to create customers; you just have to educate them on where you are located when the time comes for the smog.
This successful Smog Test Only has been established for over five years at this location and has developed a large customer base. In addition, a major portion of the business comes from their on-going fleet accounts. This area of Santa Ana features many used car dealerships along Harbor Blvd. The owners have taken advantage of this opportunity and established a great number of them as fleet accounts to provide the smog test requirements on their vehicles. For every car, truck or RV that they have in inventory, they must obtain a new smog certificate before it can be sold.
The space rental rate is very low and, even though the current owners prefer a month to month tenancy, a long-term lease is available to a new buyer.
The shop is averaging over 334 smog checks per month and is a very clean, low maintenance and easy to operate business. The current owner/operators are licensed Smog Techs and, because of this, there is a pride of ownership that is conveyed to the customer which enhances the business. Included in the assets is an SPX smog machine with dyno which has been maintained and serviced to the highest degree required.
This is a perfect opportunity to take advantage of acquiring a successful on-going business and even expanding it.
