Atlanta, GA -- September 12, 2025, Sunbelt Business Brokers -- Atlanta (“Sunbelt Atlanta”) is pleased to announce the acquisition of its client, Regency Tire and Automotive Center, Inc. (“Regency Tire & Auto” or the “Company”), by Regency Auto Augusta LLC.
Regency Tire & Auto is a full-service general automotive repair and tire center located on Gordon Highway inside the I‑520 beltway in Augusta, Georgia, strategically positioned between downtown Augusta and Ft. Eisenhower. In business for over 40 years, the independently owned shop has built an outstanding reputation as an honest, trustworthy provider of comprehensive car care, offering diagnostics, repair, and tire services to a loyal, diverse customer base that averages approximately 100 customers per month. Operating out of two buildings totaling approximately 18,600 square feet with 13 bays, 8 lifts, and ample parking on roughly two acres, Regency Tire & Auto provides a broad menu of services including air conditioning repair, brakes, steering and suspension, electronic diagnostics, engine replacements, transmission repairs, wheel alignment, oil changes, tire installation and rotation, and more, supported by a team of experienced technicians and a long‑tenured ownership group committed to customer satisfaction.
Regency Auto Augusta LLC acquired Regency Tire & Auto as a strategic platform in the automotive repair and tire services sector, with the goal of leveraging the Company’s strong local brand, seasoned mechanics, and attractive facility and lease structure to drive future growth. The buyer plans to build on Regency’s reputation, convenient high‑traffic location, and one‑stop‑shop service model by adding technicians to fully utilize the 13 bays, expanding hours of operation, enhancing marketing and digital presence, and exploring complementary offerings that can generate additional revenue from the site’s excess capacity.
Sunbelt Atlanta initiated and advised on the sale of Regency Tire and Automotive Center, Inc., serving as the exclusive M&A advisor and guiding ownership through opinion of value, confidential marketing of the business, buyer qualification, due diligence, and closing. The transaction was led by Dealmaker Bob Cool, who leveraged Sunbelt Atlanta’s targeted sell‑side process to position the Company with qualified strategic buyers and structure a transaction that aligned with the owners’ financial objectives and retirement plans while supporting a smooth transition for employees and customers.
Owners of automotive repair shops, tire centers, quick‑lube and maintenance chains, and related automotive service businesses who are considering a sale can take advantage of Sunbelt Atlanta’s confidential, industry‑focused sell‑side process to reach qualified buyers, maximize valuation and after‑tax proceeds, and design a transition that protects their teams, customer relationships, and long‑standing reputations. With vehicles staying on the road longer, consumers prioritizing maintenance, and consolidators and operators actively seeking well‑located shops with experienced staff and established customer bases, now is an opportune time for auto service business owners to evaluate their strategic options over the next 1–5 years.
