AutoCenter SalesAbout Us

About Us

With years of experience as a franchisee, Mike Baynes founded AutoCenter Sales, 25 years ago, and it is now one of the premier automotive business brokerages in the United States. With his experience, Mike recognized the difficulties often faced by business owners in succession and transition planning and decided to make educating business owners a focal point of his company.

Following the rapid success of the company, Mike was able to turn AutoCenter Sales into a family-run company, bringing on his nephew, Joe, and, later on, his son, Jason. Joe and Jason have become an integral part of the ACS team and, with their experience and abilities, the team is able to bring our customers unprecedented services unmatched by general business brokers in the industry.

Our Difference

By partnering with AutoCenter Sales, our customers will experience a fully-integrated analysis process and overall understanding of their businesses. For our potential sellers, we can analyze their companies to find areas where their numbers could potentially be off from the rest of the industry. From there, we have the knowledge and resources to help get our customers in line with industry standards, which will translate into a higher sale price. For buyers, that same analysis can translate into a lower purchase price and potential opportunities for them to make more money than the current owner. But the difference doesn’t just stop with buying and selling advice.

Our unmatched line of industry connections throughout the U.S. is what sets us apart from the rest. When you come to us and we see that numbers or processes are off or incorrect, we can easily put you in touch with our network of experts in the industry (i.e. vendors, insurance agents, lenders, etc.) to help solve whatever issues you may have. So if you’re ready to take the next step in your life by buying or selling an automotive repair business, contact us today.

Mike has been instrumental in helping me successfully complete 4 transactions (both buying and selling) over the last 15 years. His expertise in getting deals done is second to none. If you are contemplating a transaction in the auto service sector I can unconditionally recommend Mike and his team.

Over my over fifty year career, I have had the privilege of working with many other brokers, but I have to say that I have not worked with a more professional and diligent person. Joe handled every aspect and obstacle that presented itself throughout the sales process as a consummate professional.

Jason was a huge help with my transaction! As a first time buyer, I had a lot of extra questions and concerns and Jason was fantastic in answering my questions as well as explaining everything in detail. On top of that, he communicated everything in an effective manner and I never once felt like I was in the dark. I will only use Jason for everything transaction moving forward and would recommend him to anyone looking to get into the automotive business.
