Thunder Bay, Ontario — After more than four decades of serving the community, the owners of a longstanding family automotive business have announced plans to prepare the company for sale, marking the next chapter in the history of a well-established local operation.
A rare opportunity now exists to acquire an established automotive and fleet service business in Thunder Bay — Central Spring Auto & Fleet Service, currently operating from its new location at 439 11th Avenue.
Founded over 40 years ago, Central Spring has built a strong reputation as a fully operational automotive repair facility specializing in suspension systems, springs, fleet maintenance, and heavy-duty repairs. Through generations of ownership and operation, the company has become known for quality workmanship, technical expertise, and long-standing customer relationships throughout Northwestern Ontario.
The operation is situated on an expansive 1.3-acre gated property with two separate entrances, providing excellent accessibility, security, and functionality for commercial and fleet operations. The facility includes a warehouse exceeding 8,000 square feet, offering significant capacity for service operations, inventory, storage, and future expansion.
“This decision was not made lightly,” the owners stated. “Our priority is finding the right fit — someone who values the reputation and foundation that has been built over the years and is committed to continuing the level of service our customers and community have come to expect.”
The business remains fully operational, with no interruption to services anticipated during the transition period. Ownership intends to work closely with qualified purchasers to ensure a smooth and thoughtful handover process.
