// What is included in the sale
Everything that comes with 23 years of building.
B2B client relationships
High-trust, ongoing commercial client relationships with local operators who regularly use IPS for fleet and vehicle repairs. Not insurance-panel dependent — private-pay income base.
Transferable
Website + social + 4.8-star rating
The official IPS website (intpanelshop.co.za) has years of Google indexing history. Active social platforms. 4.8-star Google rating — one of the highest in the Goodwood panel beating sector.
Years of SEO value
Aurora-repair — AI damage assessment
GCP-hosted AI-powered vehicle damage assessment tool. Enables faster, more accurate quoting for insurance and private work. Built on Google Cloud. Proprietary tech IP included in sale.
Proprietary AI tech
Sure Drive — advance payment system
GCP-based prepaid vehicle repair wallet system. Manages advance payments and client accounts digitally. Reduces cash handling and improves payment certainty.
Proprietary tech IP
Hand tools and operational equipment
Complete set of hand tools — socket and spanner sets, jacks, trestles, hammers, dollies, porta-power unit, and a 3-phase compressor. Everything needed to operate from day one.
Turnkey operation
Leased premises with low overhead
Workshop is on an active lease — landlord's deposit in place. Key heavy infrastructure (spray booth, overhead air piping) belongs to the property owner, keeping capital maintenance costs low.
Low capex structure
Skilled workshop team
Trained, experienced workshop staff on site. The team knows the work, knows the clients, and knows the operation. A new owner inherits institutional knowledge, not just equipment.
Team included
23 years of goodwill
In Goodwood since 2003. Clients who have been returning for a decade. A name that means something in the suburb. That kind of reputation cannot be bought — only inherited.
Transferable goodwill
// Why this opportunity is rare
You are not buying a business. You are buying 23 years.

Starting an auto body workshop from scratch means building a client base, a reputation, supplier relationships, and a skilled team — from nothing. That process takes years and the failure rate is high. International Panel Shop has already done all of that.

The 4.8-star Google rating is the result of 23 years of quality work. The B2B client relationships exist because those clients have been using IPS for years and trust the operation. The workshop team has been doing this work long enough to know what they are doing. None of that comes with a new business.

The AI tech stack — Aurora-repair for damage assessment and Sure Drive for advance payments — is built on Google Cloud infrastructure and represents a genuine competitive advantage in a market where most panel shops still quote by eye and collect cash. A buyer with the right background could grow both products into standalone revenue streams.

The spray booth and heavy infrastructure belong to the property owner, which means the incoming operator does not inherit a capital maintenance liability for major equipment. The workshop lease is active. The landlord deposit is in place. It is operationally ready.

The founding family is exiting after 23 years because it is time — not because the business is struggling. The client base is intact. The team is intact. The reputation is intact. The right buyer steps into a running operation.

// This business suits
Who should buy IPS
Industry operators
Panel beaters, spray painters, or automotive business owners looking to expand into Cape Town with an established footprint.
Insurance company
A panel in the Goodwood / Bellville corridor with a clean reputation, existing tech, and no insurance-panel dependency.
Fleet operator
A transport or logistics company looking to internalise vehicle repair and maintenance. IPS already handles fleet work.
Tech-focused buyer
Someone who sees the AI damage assessment and payment tech as a platform, not just a workshop. Aurora-repair and Sure Drive are expandable.
