Rare dual-unit commercial auto repair facility on one of Northwest Indiana's highest-traffic corridors. US Highway 6 in Portage at a signalized intersection with a large pylon sign visible from both directions and a generously sized parking lot with dual access points and marked stalls. This is a true turnkey acquisition with all equipment and inventory included. Unit One is a fully operational full-service auto and truck repair shop that has been running continuously since 1990. The customer side features a spacious windowed waiting area with seating, large glass storefront windows facing US-6, a fully built out service counter with point of sale setup and product display shelving, a private manager office with drop ceiling lighting and filing storage, and a clean ADA-equipped tiled restroom. The shop floor features multiple drive-through bays with full-height glass garage doors, multiple commercial-grade post lifts including BendPak units capable of handling cars, SUVs, full-size trucks and RVs, wheel balancing and alignment machines, diagnostic equipment, industrial air system, heating units, toolboxes, rolling carts, and specialty equipment for exhaust and brake work. A fully stocked floor-to-ceiling parts and inventory room transfers with the sale. A mezzanine level above the shop floor provides additional storage and overlooks the entire bay area. Unit Two is a fully separated vacant unit with its own independent street entrance, its own awning, reception area, bay doors, lifts, and restroom facilities. Lease it to a tenant for immediate rental income, expand your own operation across both sides, or reposition it for another permitted commercial use. The infrastructure, plumbing, and electrical are in place. C2 General Commercial zoning, conforming permitted use, no variances needed. SBA financing eligible with strong debt service coverage for qualified buyers. 35 plus years of operating history. 30 miles to downtown Chicago with direct access to I-94.
