Location: Alpharetta, GA
Industry: Auto Repair and Service Shops
Listing ID: 0624
Listing Status: New
This is a rare chance to acquire one of North Atlanta's most respected window tinting businesses — built over 25 years entirely on reputation, craftsmanship, and word-of-mouth. The business serves automotive, residential, and commercial clients from a single leased location in Alpharetta, Georgia, one of the highest-income communities in the Southeast.
The numbers speak for themselves: 81 Google reviews at a perfect 5.0 stars, customers who have returned for 10, 15, and even 20+ years, and installations that still look flawless after two decades. This level of reputation is extraordinarily difficult to build and cannot be replicated by a new entrant — it transfers directly to a qualified buyer.
2025 revenue of $158,632 represents the strongest year in the three-year period, recovering sharply from a 2024 dip and establishing a new high. Adjusted go-forward SDE is $76,964, reflecting the new lease rate. The three-year average net income is $69,737.
Important — This is a 100% Owner-Operated Business. The current owner personally performs all installations — there are no employees. This is the engine behind the perfect reputation, but it also means the right buyer must be hands-on. Ideal candidates have window tinting experience, or a strong willingness to learn the craft. The owner will provide two full months of dedicated, on-the-job training post-close — covering every technique, customer relationship, supplier account, and daily workflow. After the training period, the owner remains available as a consultant, so the new owner always has an expert to call. This is a business you operate, not manage from a distance.
Business Highlights:
Perfect Reputation: 81 Google reviews at 5.0 stars — exceptional for any service business. Customers reference relationships spanning decades and return with multiple vehicles and properties.
25+ Years Established: One of the longest-running tinting businesses in North Atlanta. Deep community roots and a loyal customer base built entirely through referrals.
Three Revenue Streams: Automotive, residential, and commercial window tinting provides meaningful diversification.
Premium Market: Alpharetta, GA is one of Georgia's wealthiest zip codes — luxury vehicles and high-value homes are the norm, supporting premium pricing.
Untapped Growth: Zero paid advertising, no social media, no SEO. A new owner with basic marketing capability could materially grow revenue with minimal additional cost.
Lifetime Warranty: All installations backed by a lifetime warranty — a powerful differentiator that builds customer confidence and repeat business.

Competition: Located in Alpharetta, GA — one of Georgia's highest-income communities. Dense concentration of luxury vehicles and high-value homes supports premium pricing. Competition includes national chains and independents, but none match 25 years of local reputation and a perfect 5.0 Google rating. Business wins entirely on word-of-mouth with zero marketing spend.
Potential Growth: Zero paid advertising, no social media, no SEO — all $158K revenue is organic. A new owner investing in Google Ads, local SEO, or social media could materially grow the business.
