Revenue-Based Financing for Auto Repair Businesses in California
An auto repair shop in California lives on throughput — bays in, bays out. When parts costs, equipment needs, or a slow season hit the same week, the math breaks fast.
SMB Capital Funding is a direct lender — we underwrite and fund in-house, with no brokers and no middlemen. Programs range from working capital and revenue-based financing to equipment loans and merchant cash advances, with capacity up to $20 million. If your Auto Repair business in California has consistent monthly deposits, you likely qualify — regardless of credit history.
Common cash flow pressures for Auto Repair owners
- A fleet account wants you to service 18 vehicles a month. You need another lift and a second tech. The contract starts in three weeks.
- You ordered parts before the insurance payout cleared. Now you're floating $3,000 in costs for two to three weeks.
- The alignment rack broke. You can't take on alignment work until it's fixed — but the repair cost hits this week, not when your next invoice pays.
- Slow July: fewer people driving, vacation season, but rent and utilities didn't get the memo.
- You want to open a second bay. The deposit and buildout come before the revenue shift.

I need to buy a new lift to take on more work. Can you fund equipment?
Yes. Equipment financing is one of our core programs. A specialist can structure it against your shop's revenue.
Insurance jobs pay slow. Can I get funded against my regular revenue while I wait?
Yes. We fund based on your monthly deposits — insurance timing doesn't disqualify you.
My credit took a hit during COVID. Does that matter?
We accept scores from 500 and weight your recent revenue history heavily. Past credit events don't automatically close the door.
How much can I qualify for?
Most shop owners qualify for 50–150% of average monthly deposits, subject to underwriting. Fill out the form for a real number.
