BRUCEDALE GARAGE – A Hamilton Automotive Repair Landmark Since 1975

An exceptional opportunity to acquire a turn-key automotive repair business and property with an outstanding reputation built over more than 50 years of family ownership and service to the community. Proudly serving customers since 1975, Brucedale Garage represents a rare combination of established business, functional automotive facility, and a substantial 156′ x 100′ lot in an easily accessible Hamilton location.

The four-bay repair facility is designed for efficiency and is ready for the next owner to continue operations from day one. Each bay is equipped with hydraulic hoists, while the rear service area provides dedicated space for tire repairs and preparation, supplies, equipment and general storage. A convenient two-piece washroom serves shop staff.

The customer-facing front area features a welcoming waiting room with convenient access to a bathroom, and invoice processing/service area, providing an efficient transition from customer reception to the repair bays.

The second level offers a generous flexible-use space currently suited as a boardroom/lunchroom, along with a separate private office and dedicated HVAC access room. Above that, the third-level loft provides an impressive amount of additional storage, currently utilized for tire storage.

Additional storage is provided by a 52-foot trailer, conveniently positioned with direct covered access from the supply room—an excellent feature for inventory, tires, parts and equipment. The expansive 156′ x 100′ lot provides an abundance of parking and maneuvering space, with additional potential for outdoor storage or future use, subject to applicable approvals.

The facility is well equipped for year-round operation, featuring two furnaces, central air conditioning serving the front reception area and second-level boardroom, and a radiant gas heating system throughout the shop. The property also benefits from 600-amp electrical service, providing substantial capacity for the demands of an active automotive operation.

Environmental and operational infrastructure includes three septic containment tanks for used oil and a separate containment tank for used radiator fluids.

Significant recent improvements include a new roof installed in 2025 and new blacktop throughout the asphalt areas, adding to the property’s overall functionality and long-term appeal. This is much more than an automotive repair facility—it is an established, respected and fully operational business with a proven track record, offering a rare opportunity for an owner-operator, automotive professional, or investor looking to acquire a well-equipped facility with significant land and storage capacity.

Same Owners. Same Family. Same Location. Since 1975.

A truly unique opportunity to take the wheel of a Hamilton automotive institution and continue its legacy for the next generation.
