About This Home

Positioned along the high-visibility East Mills Street corridor, this 6,200 SF metal auto-repair facility offers an excellent opportunity for an owner-operator or investor seeking a well-located service property in a strong Polk County trade area. The current owner is retiring, and this sale represents the auto-repair portion of a long-established business. The adjoining portion of the operation—Durham’s Lube—is already listed, creating a clean transition for a new operator to step into an established location with steady traffic and strong local demand.

The building features multiple service bays, two offices, one restroom, and ample interior workspace suitable for automotive repair, light industrial, or service-based operations. Situated on 0.51 acres, the property provides easy ingress/egress, customer parking, and excellent frontage on E Mills Street, one of the area’s primary commercial corridors.

All major shop contents and equipment are included in the sale, offering a turnkey setup for continued automotive use or an adaptable footprint for alternative service businesses. With limited supply of mid-size industrial/service buildings in the region, this property delivers both functional utility and long-term location value. Building Roof needs some maintenance. Heated with waste oil
