Working Capital Built for Auto Repair Shops
Running an auto repair shop means dealing with unpredictable cash flow. A slow week, a broken lift, or a bulk parts order can put pressure on your finances fast. Traditional banks rarely understand the repair business, and their slow approval process is no help when a customer's car is already in the bay.
Trulo Capital's merchant cash advance is built around your daily card sales. We evaluate your shop based on your revenue history, not just your credit score. You can access $15,000 to $150,000 with same-day approval and funding in as little as 24 hours. Repayment adjusts with your sales, so you pay less on slow days and more when the bays are full.
How Auto Repair Shop Owners Use MCA Funding
There are no restrictions on how you use your funds from Trulo Capital. Auto repair shop owners typically use working capital for:
Purchasing or upgrading lifts and diagnostic equipment
Stocking up on parts and supplies inventory
Hiring and training additional technicians
Covering payroll and overhead during slow seasons
Renovating the shop floor or waiting area
Expanding to a second bay or larger facility
Running local marketing and referral campaigns
Upgrading shop management software and POS systems

Auto Repair Shop Funding Questions and Answers
Can I get a merchant cash advance for my auto repair shop if I have bad credit?
Yes. Trulo Capital approves auto repair shop funding based primarily on your daily card sales and bank statement history, not just your FICO score. Many shop owners with credit scores in the 600s qualify for funding. If your shop has been open for at least 12 months and processes consistent card sales, you have a strong chance of approval.
How much can my auto repair shop borrow?
Trulo Capital funds auto repair shops from $15,000 to $150,000. The exact amount depends on your average monthly card volume and bank statement health. A funding advisor will walk you through how much you are eligible for and what repayment would look like for your specific shop.
Can I use the funds to buy new equipment or lifts?
Absolutely. Equipment purchases are one of the most common uses for auto repair shop MCA funding. New lifts, diagnostic machines, tire changers, and alignment equipment can all be purchased with your Trulo Capital funds. There are no restrictions on how you use the money.
How does repayment work for an auto repair shop cash advance?
Repayment is collected as a fixed percentage of your daily or weekly credit and debit card sales. On slow weeks when fewer customers come in, you pay less. On busy weeks when every bay is full, you pay more. You never have a fixed monthly payment that ignores how your shop is actually performing.
How fast will I receive the funds?
Most auto repair shop owners receive their funds within 24 to 48 hours of approval. In some cases, same-day funding is possible. There are no loan officers, branch visits, or committee reviews slowing things down.
Is a merchant cash advance the same as an auto repair business loan?
No. A merchant cash advance is not a loan. Instead of borrowing money and repaying it with interest over a fixed term, you receive a lump sum upfront in exchange for a percentage of your future card sales. This makes MCAs much faster to access, more flexible in repayment, and easier to qualify for than traditional business loans.
What documents do I need to apply?
The application is simple. You will need your last 3 months of business bank statements and basic information about your shop. For faster processing, you can also securely connect your bank account directly. A funding advisor will reach out within a few hours to complete your application.
