What it is
Auto Repair Shop Financing, explained in plain English
Auto repair shop financing covers the specific capital needs of independent auto, body, tire, and quick-lube shops: lifts and diagnostic equipment, bay expansion, parts inventory, and working capital through slow stretches. Equipment financing dominates the asset side; SBA and conventional working-capital products cover the rest.
For Dallas-area shops we'll quote equipment financing for new lifts, alignment machines, and scan tools, plus a working-capital line for parts inventory and a longer SBA or conventional loan for build-outs, acquisitions, or owner-occupied real estate.
Compass Lenders is not a lender. We're a Dallas-based advisory firm that places your file with the lender most likely to fund it on the best terms, and we get paid only when your deal closes.
