There is no shortage of choice for those interested in buying an automotive business. And the good news for sellers of automotive businesses is that sales are brisk in the industry, as the used car market’s popularity encourages repairs of all kinds to existing vehicles.
Also, U.S. consumers are buying more cars than ever before, according to research from IHS, a global business information company. In 2015, there were 257.9 million passenger vehicles registered in the United States, an increase of 5.3 million (2.3%) over 2014. The number of cars per licensed driver now stands at 1.1 and has been increasing steadily since 1972.
The rate at which cars are taken off the road has also been declining, with only 11.4 million cars retired in 2014. Fewer cars are being unregistered, abandoned, or junked. In 2015, new vehicle registrations were greater than scrappage by 42% – the highest number ever recorded by IHS.
Businesses that come under the heading of automotive include: automotive glass, automotive painting, automotive repair, car detailing, car wash, oil change, transmission, automotive sales, and automotive parts.
