SLB Services: Unlock Capital for Your Collision Center

Collision center real estate often represents one of the most significant assets on a body shop's balance sheet. Our Sale-Leaseback service enables shop owners to convert that real estate into immediate working capital without relocating or disrupting operations. In a Sale-Leaseback transaction, you sell your property to an investor and simultaneously enter a long-term lease, allowing you to seamlessly continue operating from the same location.

Collision center operators frequently use Sale-Leaseback capital to:

• Expand or upgrade facilities—add repair bays, enhance equipment, or expand parking and storage areas.

• Fund acquisitions—acquire additional collision shops to grow market share and economies of scale.

• Reduce debt or improve cash flow—strengthen your financial position by paying down existing debt or reinvesting in operational improvements.

• Reinvest in technology and staffing—implement new software systems, upgrade paint booths, or train and retain skilled technicians.

• Gain tax advantages—lease payments typically provide favorable tax treatments compared to mortgage interest or principal payments.

Real Estate M&A Advisory: Seamless Transitions

Buying or selling collision centers involves complex considerations beyond just the business itself—real estate is often a critical part of the transaction. Pointe Automotive provides specialized Real Estate M&A Advisory services, carefully managing the real estate components of acquisitions, mergers, consolidations, and divestitures.

For sellers, we help you realize full market value through:

• Strategic property valuation and market analysis
