Property Description

Exceptional opportunity to acquire a fully operational, highly profitable automotive service business along with the underlying commercial real estate. GFM Motors, a well-established, father-and-son owned neighborhood car repair facility with documented financials, is offered for sale due to owner retirement. The property at 11505 Livernois Ave features a freestanding commercial building with approximately 4,000 square feet of functional space, including two 12-foot overhead service doors, high ceilings, multiple service bays, front lobby, office area, and equipment that will convey with the sale. Included in the offering is an additional parcel at 11600 Livernois Ave located approximately one block south, providing future expansion or redevelopment potential. This site enjoys excellent visibility and accessibility on the active Livernois Avenue corridor and benefits from central proximity to I-96, making it ideal for continued automotive service use or other commercial endeavors. Positioned directly NEXT DOOR from the historic St. Cecilia’s Gym site, this location is adjacent to a major community investment initiative announced in late 2025 to revitalize the iconic St. Cecilia’s campus into the Say Play Center at St. Cecilia’s, a multi-phase youth and community hub combining athletic, academic, STEM and cultural elements that honor the gym’s legacy and draw increased activity to the area. With strong community roots, documented profitability, turnkey operations and strategic real estate holdings, this property represents a rare owner-operator or investor opportunity in Detroit’s evolving commercial landscape.
