This 5-bay commercial shop is now vacant and ready for its next owner or business venture. Located on Butler Road just off the Highway 74 corridor, the property offers excellent accessibility and is positioned near major national retailers and amenities including Walmart, Tri-City Mall, restaurants, and local dealerships. Isothermal Community College is also just minutes away, bringing additional daily traffic and visibility to the area. The building was previously used as an auto service and detailing shop and is well-equipped for automotive-related uses, but its flexible layout makes it suitable for a variety of commercial applications including automotive repair, detailing, paint and body work, equipment service, storage, or a small contractor operation. Property features include five service bays, custom shop lighting, a 10,000 lb two-post car/truck lift, and four roof-mounted exhaust fans designed for shop ventilation. With the building now vacant, the next owner has the opportunity to move in and make it their own. Priced competitively based on recent market analysis, this property presents an excellent opportunity for an owner-operator or investor looking for a well-located commercial building in the growing Forest City area.
