Built for Auto Repair
Programs tuned to how shops operate:

- Fleet and specialty service, for heavy lifts and added capacity
How You Qualify
Lenders weigh the whole business, not just a score:
- Time in business and revenue
- Card sales and daily deposits
- Equipment and leasehold value
- Margins and seasonality
- Owner credit, as one input among several
Steady car count or strong equipment can carry a deal that credit alone would not.

- Tell us how much you need, $10K to $15M, and what for.
- Share basic business and owner details. No hard credit pull to pre-qualify.
- Send recent bank statements, plus equipment quotes or card processing details if relevant.
- Compare matched offers from 75+ lenders and pick what fits.
FAQ
What credit score do I need?
It varies by lender and product. Many equipment and working capital programs work across a range of credit profiles, and the network weighs the whole business, not the score alone.
Can I finance used shop equipment?
Yes. Many lenders finance used lifts, diagnostics, and shop equipment, secured by the asset. Terms track its age and resale value.
How fast can I get funded?
Smaller deals can fund in hours to a few business days. Larger and SBA backed loans take longer, often several weeks for SBA.
What documents do I need?
Pre-qualification needs basic business details and recent bank statements. Full underwriting may add financials, tax returns, equipment quotes, or recent card processing statements.
Is there a hard credit pull to pre-qualify?
No. There is no hard credit pull to pre-qualify, so checking your options does not affect your credit.
Can a newer shop qualify?
Often yes. Equipment financing and sales based funding can work for younger shops when the asset or steady card sales support the deal.
SBA 7(a) versus 504?
SBA 7(a) is flexible financing up to $5M. SBA 504 funds fixed assets like real estate and heavy equipment with long terms. See SBA.gov for current details.
