Emergencies in a repair shop rarely wait

A shop can be humming on Monday and stuck by Wednesday. The air compressor quits and half the bays go quiet. A lift fails inspection. A storm damages the roof over the paint booth. Or a big customer is late paying and payroll lands on Friday anyway. In each case the cost is not just the repair; it is the cars that leave unworked and the customers who go elsewhere.

Emergency funding for auto repair shops is meant to get you back to full capacity quickly, without waiting on a bank committee.

What to gather before you apply

  1. About three months of business bank statements.
  2. A basic picture of what broke or what bill is due, and a rough cost.
  3. A list of any financing you are already paying on.

That is usually it. We do not ask for tax returns, and the first credit check is a soft pull.

How fast it can move

The application takes about five minutes. Our reviews move quickly, and qualified businesses can be funded in as little as 24 hours. Having clean statements ready is the single biggest thing you can do to keep the process short.

Matching the fix to the funding

If the emergency is a piece of equipment, equipment financing for auto repair may let you replace it without draining your account. For a cash crunch, working capital gives you a lump sum. If emergencies are a pattern rather than a one-off, a line of credit can sit ready for the next one. Our auto repair cash flow guide covers ways to build a buffer over time.

Questions worth asking yourself first

Before you request a number, separate the true emergency from the wish list. What does it cost to get every bay working again? How many days of lost jobs are you facing if you wait? Is there a parts or warranty claim that will reimburse part of the repair later? Answering those helps you ask for the amount you actually need instead of an inflated one that is harder to repay. It also helps us understand the request, because a clear story backed by steady deposits is easier to review than a vague one. If the shortfall is about slow receivables from a fleet or insurance customer, say so; that context matters when we size the offer.

Get moving

Funding ranges from $25,000 to $5,000,000 depending on your deposits and existing obligations. Apply now and get the bays running again.

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can I get emergency funds?

Qualified businesses can be funded in as little as 24 hours. Having your bank statements ready helps us move faster.

My credit took a hit recently. Can I still apply?

Do you need tax returns for an emergency request?

No. About three months of business bank statements is the main document we review.
