FAQ

$100,000 Auto Repair Loan FAQs

620+ is the standard minimum. Equipment financing — the most common product for auto shop equipment — uses the equipment as collateral, which reduces lender risk and opens approval to operators with moderate credit scores. Shops with strong revenue ($150K+/year) can often qualify at 620.
The most common uses are diagnostic scanner packages ($15K–$30K), alignment machines ($20K–$40K), lifts and brake equipment ($20K–$50K), tool inventory purchases, working capital for parts between busy periods, and adding a second service bay. Lenders are flexible on use-of-funds for shop equipment loans.
Equipment financing for lifts, alignment machines, and diagnostic equipment can close in 3–21 business days. Having your shop financial statements, equipment quotes, and business license ready accelerates the process. Independent shops with strong revenue can often close within a week.
Most lenders want $150K+ in annual revenue for a $100K deal. Lenders look at 12-month average revenue and car count per month. Shops with consistent customer flow and documented revenue can sometimes qualify with lower revenue if collateral is strong.
Yes. Equipment financing for auto shop equipment (lifts, alignment machines, diagnostic scanners) often requires little to no down payment because the equipment serves as collateral. Typical terms are 24–72 months with competitive rates for well-established shops.
Yes. Lifts, alignment machines, diagnostic equipment, and brake racks all have strong residual values and serve as primary collateral for equipment financing.
