Property Information

Real Estate:

Lease

Lease Terms:

The current owner has negotiated the terms of a three-year lease with an option to purchase the property directly from the landlord. Although this agreement has not been formally executed, it may provide an opportunity for a prospective buyer to establish long-term occupancy with a potential path toward property ownership.

Any new lease, purchase option, or assignment of negotiated terms would be subject to the landlord's approval and a separate agreement with the buyer.

The seller is willing to assist in facilitating discussions with the property owner to support a smooth transition and help the buyer explore available lease and purchase arrangements.

Leasehold Rent:

$6,500 (USD) per annum

Living Accommodation:

The property includes on-site living accommodations currently occupied by four mechanics. These accommodations provide added convenience for staff, but the arrangement is flexible and can be modified by the new owner to suit their operational needs and business plans.

Location:

Tamarindo Car Center is strategically located in the Tamarindo area of Guanacaste, Costa Rica, serving a growing community of local residents, expatriates, tourists, and businesses. The location provides convenient access to Tamarindo and surrounding communities, with consistent demand for automotive maintenance and repairs driven by both residential and tourism-related transportation needs.

Premises Details:

Tamarindo Car Center operates from an established, fully equipped automotive service facility featuring multiple mechanical repair bays, vehicle lifts, a dedicated express maintenance and oil change area, diagnostic equipment, alignment equipment, parts storage, administrative offices, and customer reception areas. The facility is designed to accommodate a wide range of automotive services, from routine maintenance to advanced mechanical repairs and diagnostics.

Business Operation

Management type:

Expansion Potential:

Tamarindo Car Center offers significant expansion potential, with opportunities to increase service capacity, add specialized automotive services, expand parts sales, and develop additional revenue streams such as vehicle upgrades and installations. Its strategic location in the growing Tamarindo area, established customer base, and commitment to U.S. quality standards provide a strong foundation for future growth under new ownership.

Competition / Market:

The Tamarindo area has several smaller independent automotive repair businesses, creating a competitive but fragmented market. Tamarindo Car Center differentiates itself through its broad range of services, professional diagnostic equipment, established operating infrastructure, and ability to service a variety of vehicle makes and models. The continued growth of residential communities, tourism, and vehicle ownership in the region supports ongoing demand for reliable automotive repair services.

Reasons for selling:

After successfully establishing and developing Tamarindo Car Center, the owners have decided to shift their focus toward their other business ventures and family commitments. As their business interests have expanded, they have made the strategic decision to concentrate their time and resources on other opportunities.

This creates an excellent opportunity for a new owner to acquire an established, fully equipped automotive service business with an existing customer base, experienced team, and significant potential for continued growth.
