There are 855 registered repair dealers in San Francisco, and 211 of them have held their registration for twenty years or more. That second number is the one a buyer cares about. An auto shop's value is its bay count, its technicians, and the twenty years of customers who know where to go when the check-engine light comes on.

Shops in this trade sold for about 2.85x owner earnings over the last five years, with a median sale around $430K. A smog station license at the same premises adds a second revenue stream buyers pay for. Dealerships and chain lube units are listed here but aren't priced like independent shops.

Most pages in this trade show no range yet: the state registration says who, where, and since when, but not how many cars a month. Two numbers from the owner fixes that.
