How to value a business??

My boss has recently offered to sell me his business. It is an independent auto repair shop. I have worked here for the past 9 years and currently do a large portion of the management responsibilities.

My question is: Other than the "real" value as in real estate and equipment, how do you figure a value for a business? It is well established and has been in business for the past 21 years. The shop currently grosses 450-500k a year.

He is currently working with his accountant and an appraiser. I'm just curious as to how you establish a value.

Old enough to know better, and stupid enough to do it anyway!
