Seeking New Owner

After nine years in business, Charlie’s Rim Repair is being offered as an asset acquisition including specialized equipment, brand goodwill, an established customer and referral base, and transition support. The seller is relocating and is prioritizing a straightforward transfer to new ownership.

Comprehensive, in-person training is included, along with ongoing telephone support after the transition. Historical operating information, the basis for the SDE scenarios, and a detailed equipment schedule are available to qualified buyers for review.

A Specialty Shop With Regional Reach

Charlie’s Rim Repair combines specialized wheel-repair machinery with an established regional reputation. The shop serves direct customers as well as tire shops and dealerships, with a customer and referral base extending roughly 80 miles across the Central Valley.

Structural Repair

TIG welding, hydraulic straightening and truing, followed by machining of sealing surfaces for appropriate crack and bend repairs.

Precision Machining

CNC and lathe capability supports diamond-cut refinishing, machining/truing, bore work and other specialized wheel services.

Cosmetic Refinishing

Curb-rash repair, sanding, paint matching and refinishing complement the shop’s structural and machining capabilities.

The combination of specialized equipment, established referral relationships and a regional customer base is part of the value being transferred—not just the machinery itself.

An established base, with room to grow. Current ownership has focused on stabilizing and operating the existing business rather than expanding it. Opportunities such as Saturday hours, tire mounting, pickup/drop-off service, additional dealership and fleet relationships, and mobile cosmetic work have not been fully developed. For a buyer with existing automotive operations, technicians, equipment, or customer relationships, Charlie’s may also provide an opportunity to add specialized wheel-repair capabilities to an existing business rather than building them from scratch.
