Why Homeowners in Saint Paul Choose EasyOffer
Auto repair shops and dealerships in Saint Paul carry environmental liability from decades of oil changes, solvent use, and fluid disposal. Oil/water separators, underground waste oil tanks, and floor drain systems require environmental scrutiny that scares away conventional buyers and their lenders. Additionally, auto shops have specialized infrastructure like hydraulic lifts, compressed air systems, and heavy-duty electrical that limits repurposing options. EasyOffer purchases auto shop properties for cash, handles all environmental due diligence, and buys as-is with no remediation requirement.
St. Paul offers notably more affordable home prices than neighboring Minneapolis, with medians near $270K, while sharing the same strong Twin Cities economy anchored by healthcare, tech, and state government. The Ford Site transformation in Highland Park and Lowertown's arts renaissance have driven above-average appreciation in those submarkets, with investors finding strong rental demand from state workers, university staff, and young professionals. St. Paul's Victorian housing stock and walkable neighborhoods create compelling opportunities for renovation and flip investors.
We also serve property owners in nearby West Saint Paul, South Saint Paul, Mendota Heights, and throughout Minnesota.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to remove hydraulic lifts and shop equipment before selling?
No. We buy auto shops with all lifts, compressors, alignment racks, and shop equipment in place. You can take personal tools and leave everything else.
What about oil contamination in the soil under my auto shop?
Oil and solvent contamination is common at auto repair facilities. We evaluate environmental conditions as part of our due diligence and factor any remediation into our offer. You do not need a clean Phase II to sell to us.
Can I sell my auto shop if I have an underground waste oil tank?
Yes. Underground waste oil tanks, like underground fuel tanks, require careful handling. We buy properties with these tanks in place and manage all removal or closure requirements after closing.
What if my car dealership has a floor plan financing agreement?
Floor plan lenders will need to be paid off at or before closing, which is standard. We work with title companies to ensure all liens, including floor plan lines, are settled as part of the transaction.
Does my auto shop need to be currently operating to sell?
Not at all. We buy operating shops, closed shops, and vacant auto properties. Whether you closed last week or five years ago, we will make a fair offer.
How do you value an auto shop property in Saint Paul?
We assess the real estate (location, lot size, building size), shop infrastructure (number of bays, lift configuration), environmental condition, and comparable commercial sales in Saint Paul.
What Our Sellers Say
“My mom passed and I inherited her place in Antioch. It needed a ton of work and I live out of state so I couldn't deal with contractors or showings. They came out, looked at it, and had a number for me the next day. We closed in 9 days. The whole thing was so much easier than I expected.”
Inherited Property
“Honestly I was skeptical at first because I'd heard horror stories about cash buyers lowballing people. But they explained exactly how they came up with the number and it was fair. We were behind on payments and they got everything done in a week. No last-minute changes, no surprises at closing.”
Avoided Foreclosure
“My husband got transferred to Dallas and we had about three weeks to figure out the house. A friend told us about EasyOffer. They gave us a cash offer that same afternoon and worked around our move date. We closed 11 days later without having to do a single showing or open house.”
