Florida Auto-Glass Replacement Company, Semi-Absentee Pinellas County Operator

Full Editorial Writeup

This is a Florida auto-glass replacement business based in Pinellas County, established in 2015, generating roughly $2.88M in revenue with $1.07M in seller's discretionary earnings and $1.01M in EBITDA. That is a 37% cash flow margin, which is genuinely strong for a service business and reflects the lean 6-person structure (4 full-time, 1 part-time, 1 contractor). The business specializes in windshield and auto-glass replacement plus higher-margin add-on services, delivered through both a leased facility and mobile capability that extends the service radius.

The demand driver here is durable. Cracked and shattered windshields need replacing regardless of the economy, and much of the work is insurance-funded rather than out-of-pocket, which smooths cash flow and softens price sensitivity. Modern vehicles increasingly carry ADAS (advanced driver assistance systems) that require windshield-mounted camera recalibration after a glass replacement, which is a real and growing revenue line that separates capable operators from commodity chains. The listing positions this as a differentiated, high-margin play against national glass chains and independent mobile operators.

The deal is being marketed as semi-absentee, with owners not required to perform core technical work and an experienced office, billing, A/R and CSR team already in place. The seller has done real preparation: an organized data room, CPA-prepared financials, broker-reviewed add-backs, and preliminary SBA lender review confirming the deal should qualify pending a valuation and Quality of Earnings report. At $3.5M and a 3.27x cash flow multiple, this sits at the mid-market range for a well-run auto-glass operation, with the QoE requirement built in given the $3M+ purchase price under the updated SBA SOP.
