The automotive repair industry is very competitive, and at the same time is becoming more and more reliant on technology. Today's mechanics rely on a bevy of sophisticated (and rather expensive) automotive diagnostic equipment. Alignment machines, computer diagnostic stations, and emissions testing devices are all common in today's repair facilities. And since this equipment carries such a high price tag, almost all repair facilities seek to finance their automotive diagnostic equipment.

There is an advantage to not only financing automotive repair and diagnostic equipment, but to do so with great terms. Adding new diagnostic equipment opens up new profit centers for a repair shop. Better finance terms on automotive diagnostic and repair equipment can mean more profit.
