The Cash Flow Gaps Every Shop Owner Knows

Running a shop means juggling equipment costs, payroll, and expansion plans, all before the next invoice clears.

Equipment Failures Kill Revenue Overnight

When your alignment rack goes down or your lift needs hydraulic work, every car in that bay is dead money. Waiting on savings to repair or replace equipment means weeks of lost revenue. We fund repair and replacement in 24-48 hours.

Slow Weeks Hit Payroll Hard

Experienced mechanics don't wait for slow weeks to end. They leave. Keeping your best techs means making payroll even when the bays aren't full. Working capital keeps your team intact through the slow cycles.

Adding Bays & Services Requires Capital Upfront

Expanding to tires, AC service, or a second location means equipment, permits, and build-out costs before you see a dollar of new revenue. Lenders look at your existing revenue, not your projected growth.

Funding Options

The Right Capital for Every Auto Shop

We match Houston auto repair shops with the right product for their situation, whether you need to replace equipment or scale to a second location.

Merchant Cash Advance 24 hrs
$5K - $500K

Repaid as a percentage of daily card sales. Payments flex automatically with your revenue. Perfect for bridging slow weeks without disrupting cash flow.

Working Capital Loan 24-48 hrs
$10K - $500K

Cover payroll, parts inventory, and operating costs during slow periods. Fixed daily or weekly payments, approved on revenue, not collateral.

Equipment Financing 3-7 days

Business Line of Credit 2-3 days
$10K - $250K

Draw what you need when you need it. Repay it. Draw again. Ideal for shops managing parts orders and unexpected repair needs across multiple bays.

Revenue-Based Financing 24-48 hrs
$5K - $250K

Payments flex with your monthly revenue: more in busy months, less when it's slow. Built for the natural peaks and valleys of auto repair.

SBA Loan 2-4 weeks
$50K - $5M

Lowest rates and longest terms for established shops. Best for major equipment purchases, acquiring a competitor, or opening a second location.

Real Results

Auto Shops We’ve Helped Fund

New lifts, better diagnostics, working capital between jobs. Here’s what funding looked like for Texas auto repair shops.

Equipment Financing $35,000

Independent shop owner wanted a Hunter alignment machine and a new tire mounting system to compete with dealership service centers. Bank SBA process was 6-8 weeks and required property collateral. Equipment financing used the machines themselves, approved and installed in 3 days.

Funded: 3 days Credit: 597 In business: 2.5 yrs Revenue: $41K/mo
Working Capital + Line of Credit $50,000

Transmission specialist had $80K in jobs scheduled but parts costs and diagnostic equipment needed to be paid upfront. Working capital covered the parts float while a revolving line of credit gave him an ongoing buffer for fleet account customers with net-30 terms.

Funded: 2 days Credit: 618 In business: 4 yrs Revenue: $56K/mo
Equipment Financing $90,000

Collision and body shop owner needed a down-draft spray booth and a frame straightening system to handle insurance work at volume. The equipment was the collateral. No property deed required, no SBA paperwork, and the shop was up to full capacity within a week of funding.

Funded: 4 days Credit: 622 In business: 3 yrs Revenue: $73K/mo

Why Banks Turn Down Auto Repair Shops

Banks have specific objections to the auto repair industry. Here’s what keeps shop owners getting rejected, and how we handle it.

Bank Says

“Environmental liability concerns”

Banks flag auto shops for environmental exposure: oil, solvents, and waste disposal. This triggers extra due diligence, phase-one environmental reports, and often an outright decline before your financials are even reviewed.

We Look At

We’ve funded dozens of auto shops. We understand the industry and work with ISO lenders who specialize in it, no environmental report required for most products.

Bank Says

“Existing equipment liens reduce collateral”

If your lifts, diagnostic tools, or frame machines are already financed, banks view your available collateral as depleted. Even profitable shops with strong cash flow hit this wall when trying to add equipment.

We Look At

Revenue-based products use your monthly cash flow, not equipment equity. Existing liens don’t disqualify you from working capital or MCA products.

Bank Says

“Owner credit score is below threshold”

Traditional banks require 650+ personal credit for most business loans. Many successful shop owners built strong businesses after early credit challenges, and banks use a single number to lock them out.

We Look At

We have ISO partners who work with credit scores as low as 560. Revenue and deposit history matter more than a credit number from years ago.

FAQ

Auto Repair Funding Questions

Yes. Auto repair is one of the most fundable industries because revenue is consistent and predictable. Lenders love the auto repair business model: customers pay at pickup, revenue is daily, and demand is recession-resistant.
Absolutely. Equipment financing is designed exactly for this. The equipment itself serves as collateral, so no additional assets are required. We can finance lifts, racks, tire machines, scan tools, and service vehicles.
Lenders look at your trailing 3-month average, not just one bad month. If you've been in business 6+ months and have consistent deposits, you can qualify even with some slow periods. We'll match you to the lender most likely to approve your specific situation.
Working capital and MCAs fund in 24-48 hours. Equipment financing takes 3-7 days. We'll tell you exactly which product fits your situation and timeline before you apply.
No. Most funding products are based on your business revenue, not real estate. Whether you lease or own, you can qualify.
