Your equipment is the business

A car wash is a machine you sell time on. When the conveyor stops, the line of cars in the street turns around and goes to the competitor down the road. That is why equipment decisions at a wash are rarely optional. A worn dryer that leaves cars spotted costs you repeat customers. An old pay station that cannot take tap payments slows the line on your busiest afternoons.

Equipment financing lets you put the right machine in place now and spread the cost over a repayment schedule you see up front, instead of draining the cash you need for chemicals, utilities and staff.

What car wash owners finance

If something broke and you need it running again rather than replaced, our repair funding page may be the better read.

How we review an equipment request

We start with about three months of your business bank statements. Your deposits tell us how the wash actually performs through good and bad weather. We do not require tax returns, and the first step is a soft credit pull that will not affect your score. FICO 500+ is considered, and sole proprietors can apply.

Funding ranges from $25,000 to $5,000,000 for established businesses with steady deposits. The amount depends mainly on your deposit history and the obligations you already carry. Decisions move fast, and funding can arrive in as little as 24 hours for qualified businesses.

Planning an upgrade or a second site?

Bigger projects, like converting an in-bay automatic to an express tunnel or adding a location, often involve more than equipment. For that, see our car wash expansion funding page or general working capital for car washes. For smaller, ongoing needs, a business line of credit can sit alongside your equipment financing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I finance used or refurbished car wash equipment?

Send us the details. We look at what the equipment is, what it does for your wash, and your deposit history. Used equipment requests are reviewed case by case.

Do I need a vendor quote before applying?

It helps. A quote shows exactly what you are buying and what it costs, which makes the review faster. You can still start the application without one.

Does the equipment have to be installed already?

No. Many owners apply before ordering so funding is ready when the vendor is ready to ship and install.

I have bad credit. Can I still finance equipment?

FICO 500+ is considered. We weigh your credit alongside your deposits. Our bad credit page for car washes explains more.

Will I know the total cost before I sign?

Yes. Your offer shows the full repayment amount and schedule before you accept.

New dryer system $65,000.00
Pay station $38,000.00
Water reclaim $52,000.00
Vacuum system $29,000.00
