Automotive Repair Equipment Financing

About 2 minutesNo personal-credit inquiryInstant answer

Crest Capital finances new and used automotive repair equipment for established repair shops, dealership service departments, fleet maintenance shops and body shops. Financing covers $10,000 to $500,000 for equipment from a distributor, a manufacturer or another shop.

Lifts, Alignment and Tire Equipment

Most repair shops are built around their lifts: two-post and four-post lifts, in-ground lifts and alignment racks. A wheel alignment machine, a tire changer, a wheel balancer and a brake lathe handle the steady tire, alignment and brake work.

Automotive Grinder Financing

Shops use bench and pedestal grinders, die grinders and angle grinders to clean, deburr and prepare parts and surfaces, and engine machine shops use valve and crankshaft grinders.

Transmission Repair Equipment Financing

Transmission shops use transmission jacks to remove and install transmissions, rebuild benches and holding fixtures, and fluid exchange machines for service, alongside the lifts they work under.

Diagnostic and A/C Service Equipment

Scan tools and diagnostic software read a vehicle's computer systems, and A/C service machines recover, recycle and recharge refrigerant. See automotive A/C service equipment financing and automotive and diagnostic equipment financing.

Body Shop Equipment

Collision repair shops add frame machines that measure and pull damaged frames, welders and spray booths. See auto body equipment financing.

Car Wash Equipment

Car washes run in-bay automatic, tunnel or self-serve equipment, with water reclaim systems, chemical dispensing and dryers, and many repair shops and service stations add one. See commercial car wash financing.

Shop Air and Fluid Equipment

Air compressors and air lines, oil and fluid dispensing systems, waste oil handling and parts washers support every bay in the shop.

New and Used Shop Equipment

Lifts, alignment machines and tire equipment are often bought used or reconditioned. Before buying, check the lift's certification label and inspection records, the cables, hydraulics and locks, and whether the alignment machine's software and calibration are current.
