Funding for Auto Repair

More bays and deeper parts inventory mean more cars out the door. Lúmen funds auto shops to add capacity, finance diagnostic gear, and turn vehicles around faster.

The challenges

What auto repair businesses are up against

Pricey diagnostics

Modern diagnostic and alignment equipment is expensive but essential to service today's vehicles.

Parts inventory

Keeping common parts on hand speeds turnaround, but it ties up cash on the shelf.

Limited bays

Every bay is a revenue station; adding capacity requires upfront investment in space and lifts.

Uneven workflow

Repair volume fluctuates week to week, making a rigid payment schedule a poor fit.
