An active auto shop in UAE—now looking for a partner or an angel investor to scale into performance, parts, distribution and more.
Hey everyone,
I’m currently running a licensed, fully operational auto repair shop here in the UAE. Operations are active, cars are coming through the door, and we’re breaking even/generating steady day-to-day revenue.
While general repair pays the bills, the real margin in the UAE automotive sector is in parts, performance, specialized retail, and exclusive distribution.
We already have the physical infrastructure (shop space, storage capacity, and trade license) to scale, but I need additional capital and/or an investor/partner to execute a massive pivot into high-margin verticals.
Where we are now:
•Fully licensed physical location with working bays and storage space.
•Active repair operations and ongoing client flow.
•In-house capabilities including diagnostic work, mechanical builds, and basic ECU tuning.
The Expansion Plan (High Margin Focus):
Retail & Distribution (Physical and Online Store) of OEM, OEM+, and Performance Parts: Moving beyond general repair into high-turnover inventory. By using our contacts and relations with existing local and overseas supplier networks, we plan to stock and distribute hard-to-find OEM replacements, upgraded OEM+ components, and dedicated aftermarket performance parts. The goal is to capture both retail sales (direct to consumers/enthusiasts) and B2B wholesale supply to other independent workshops across the emirates—utilizing our existing physical location for central storage and fast order fulfillment.
Performance Packages: Transitioning from basic repairs to complete "Buy & Install" packages for performance parts, tuning, and race prep.
Specialized Liquids & Fuels: Securing supply lines for high-margin race fuels (huge demand in the local motorsport/race scene) and an exclusive distribution opportunity for an established overseas engine oil brand that currently has zero presence in this region.
Direct contact and connection with suppliers*:* Existing contacts with both local and overseas suppliers ready to go once inventory capital is secured.
What I’m Looking For: I am looking for an investor or a partner who can bring growth capital to help fund:
- Initial inventory stock for parts, race fuels, and liquid distribution.
- Building out a small, specialized team to handle sales, marketing and technical execution.
- Marketing push targeting the local automotive and performance enthusiast community.
If you are a serious investor, an active automotive enthusiast with capital, or someone with strong commercial experience in the UAE auto scene who wants to partner up, send me a DM.
I’m happy to meet in person or at the shop, and discuss numbers/the detailed business plan.
