Frequently asked questions
Can I finance lifts or diagnostic equipment?
Eligible shop assets may qualify for a loan or lease. Submit the equipment quote, vendor information, and installation costs for review. A down payment is required.
Can financing help with delayed fleet or insurance payments?
Working capital or a credit line may help bridge a temporary gap. Lenders review collections, payment timing, existing debt, and repayment capacity; disputed or uncertain payments should be explained.
Can I finance the purchase of an existing repair shop?
Potentially. Expect review of seller financials, buyer experience, owner contribution, lease or property details, and sustainable cash flow. Equipment-only financing does not automatically cover the full business purchase.
