Fast Auto Repair Shop Funding You Can Trust

Auto repair shops are a vital part of the automotive industry. With a shortage of cars on dealer lots and auto plants operating at reduced capacity due to pandemic and supply chain issues, consumers are holding off on buying new vehicles and auto repair shops are busier than ever.

Traditional lenders like banks and government funding programs often consider auto repair shops a high-risk industry due to the fact that auto repair shops often have a higher rate of default on their loans. While you’re waiting for funding, your customers may suffer and valuable opportunities for growth can be lost.

As an alternative lender, Greenbox Capital® can approve more auto repair shop funding than traditional lenders, and we can approve funding faster, with funds deposited in as little as one business day. We provide multiple types of auto repair shop funding to help grow your business, with funding from as low as $3,000 up to $500,000 and no restrictions on how you can use your funds. We fund all auto repair shops, including auto body repair shops, collision repair, garages, and car care centres.

Auto Repair Shop Funding Rates

Auto repair shop funding rates depend on the type of alternative small business funding you receive. Most alternative auto repair shop funding options use a factor rate instead of a traditional interest rate. Factor rates are simple decimal figures that show how much “extra” you will owe on the original amount of the loan and are determined based on your risk assessment.

Auto Repair Shop Funding Q&A

My auto repair shop relies on outdated technology, which can make it difficult to keep up with the latest advancements in automotive technology. Could I use my funds to upgrade my technology?

Upgrading your technology in your auto repair shop is a great way to utilize your funding. Upgrading technology can help you become more efficient and productive, such as purchasing new equipment or software that will help you diagnose and fix problems faster and easier. You may also want to consider upgrading your shop’s security system to make sure your tools and equipment are safe.

Why should I consider an alternative lender for my auto repair shop?

Traditional lenders can take weeks or months to review and approve your loan application. If you’re looking for a way to streamline your cash flow, as an alternative lender, we have different approval requirements and can approve more funding for auto repair shops. We can provide you with the funds you need to cover project expenses, operating costs, and more, often in less than 24 hours.

What are the typical uses of funding for an auto repair shop?

There are many ways you could use your funding. Some uses of funding for an auto repair shop include covering the costs of inventory, payroll, and other expenses that are incurred on a day-to-day basis. Auto body repair shop funding could also be used to maintain the operations of the business, including things marketing initiatives, software licenses, and rent. Ultimately, how the funding is used will depend on the specific needs and goals of your shop. Make sure to consult with one of our Funding Advisors to ensure you are using your funding in the most efficient and effective way possible.

How can I get funding for an auto repair shop?

You can get funding for an auto repair shop from traditional lenders like federal funding programs or a bank, as well as from alternative lenders like Greenbox Capital. Alternative lenders have more flexible approval requirements that consider the overall health and potential of your business—not just your credit score—and offer revenue-based financing options that are more ideal for businesses with lower credit scores, such as merchant cash advances. Contact one of our Funding Advisors to learn more.

Are there any restrictions on how the funds can be used?

There are no restrictions on how your funds can be used. We have a very simple application process, with same-day funding available. To get started, fill out our one-page application form or speak with a Funding Advisor.

Why should I consider a merchant cash advance for my auto repair shop?

A merchant cash advance is a form of unsecured funding that small business owners can use to finance their businesses. An MCA is different from a traditional loan because it is not based on the business’s credit history or assets. Instead, a merchant cash advance provider like Greenbox Capital evaluates a business’s future sales potential. This makes it a great option for small business owners who may not have excellent credit or who do not have enough assets to secure a loan. We recommend you speak with one of our knowledgeable Funding Advisors—they can help you explore all of the available funding solutions for your business.
