Financing that keeps pace with automotive equipment sales
When a shop is adding bays, bringing ADAS calibration in-house or replacing an aging paint booth, your team needs a financing partner that is available and ready to help while the decision is being made.
The Automotive Equipment Seller Perspective
Your customer is buying capacity for every bay.
For a repair, tire or collision shop, equipment decisions are tied to car count, technician productivity and which jobs the shop can keep in-house. New equipment can add a service line, speed up throughput or replace equipment that is holding the shop back.
That makes financing a practical sales tool, not simply a way to respond when price becomes a problem.
Keep the bays productive
Help shop owners evaluate the equipment they need to support current and future work.
Move beyond total purchase price
Give buyers the ability to consider a monthly payment alongside how the equipment will be used.
Preserve operating cash
Help customers keep more capital available for parts inventory, payroll, rent and other operating priorities.
Protect the equipment opportunity
Offer financing flexibility before a customer postpones the purchase or starts looking elsewhere.

Why Automotive Equipment Sellers Use FPG
