Owning your auto repair shop gives you stability, control, and long-term financial benefits. Instead of facing rent hikes or landlord restrictions, you can customize your space with lifts, bays, or signage as needed. With a fixed mortgage, you gain predictable costs while building equity—advantages renting can’t match.
Recent tax changes make ownership even more attractive. Starting in 2025, 100% bonus depreciation is permanently restored, allowing shop owners to fully write off major purchases—like lifts, compressors, or renovations—in the year they’re made. Combined with higher Section 179 limits ($2.5M in 2025), this boosts cash flow and cuts tax liability, making now a prime time to invest in property.
Key Benefits of Ownership
-
Customization & Control: Owning your shop lets you design and upgrade freely—adding bays, lifts, storage, or signage without landlord approval—so you can maximize efficiency and strengthen your brand.
-
Financing Opportunities: SBA loans can finance up to 90% of an owner-occupied building, keeping your down payment low and freeing cash to reinvest in your shop.
-
Equity & Appreciation: Every mortgage payment adds to your ownership, and as the property value grows, so does your business’s net worth. You can use that equity later to expand or borrow for future needs.
-
Additional Income: Got extra bays, offices, or land? Lease them out to other businesses and turn unused space into passive income that helps cover ownership costs.
-
Tax Advantages: Shop owners get big tax perks—deducting mortgage interest, property taxes, and operating costs. With 100% bonus depreciation and higher Section 179 limits, you can write off new lifts, equipment, or upgrades in year one, boosting cash flow and offsetting your investment.
Strategic Long-Term Investment
Buying your shop is more than securing a workspace—it’s investing in your future. Ownership gives you control, builds equity, locks in predictable costs, and lets you keep all tax benefits. With today’s incentives like 100% bonus depreciation and higher expensing limits, now is the ideal time to buy.
