From lifts to adding bays, a collision center or a second location, Rainstar Capital Group connects auto repair shop owners with commercial financing built around insurance claim timing and fleet account terms.
Auto repair shops rely on expensive diagnostic tools and lifts that must keep pace with ever-more-complex vehicles. Insurance and fleet work often pays on terms. Between insurance claim timing and fleet account terms and the cost of shop equipment, auto repair shop owners need capital that fits the way their business actually works, not a one-size-fits-all loan.
The right financing turns those pressures into opportunities. It lets auto repair shop owners invest in lifts, diagnostic scanners, alignment machines, tire changers and paint booths, keep parts, tires and fluids on hand and pursue growth such as adding bays, a collision center or a second location, without draining the cash that keeps daily operations running.
We work with auto repair shops, mechanics, collision centers, tire shops and quick-lube operators, and we structure every request around the realities of your cash cycle, from insurance claim timing and fleet account terms to the equipment and space you need to grow.
Independent repair shops keep America's vehicles on the road, and we love financing them. With EVs and ADAS calibration changing the game, our equipment financing keeps your bays equipped with the diagnostics today's vehicles demand.
