Auto repair businesses along the I-35E corridor and near Lewisville's older commercial districts often operate in leased bays with high equipment costs and uneven receivables. Lenders see risk in inventory turnover (parts depreciate fast), customer concentration (fleet contracts can vanish), and the gap between invoice and payment when insurance adjusters delay claims. Shops expanding from two-bay garages on Main Street to six-bay facilities in the new Hebron mixed-use developments need capital for lifts, alignment machines, diagnostic scanners, and payroll during the 30-60 day receivables cycle common in collision and fleet work.
Plateau Funding Group sits at 1825 Lakeway Dr, Lewisville, TX 75057, and we know the difference between a quick-lube operation in Lantana and a transmission specialist in Copper Canyon. We pull your P&L, calculate your true cost of capital across every program, and show you which structure keeps your debt service below 15 percent of gross revenue.
Loan programs
deliver the lowest cost of capital when you're buying real estate, acquiring another shop, or consolidating expensive merchant cash advances. Terms stretch to 25 years for property and 10 years for equipment, so monthly payments stay manageable even when a shop in Double Oak needs $400,000 to purchase its building and add two lifts.
isolates the collateral to the asset: your two-post lift, tire changer, or paint booth. Lenders advance 80-100 percent of invoice value, amortize over the useful life (five to seven years), and price the loan against the resale market for that specific machine.
cover parts inventory, payroll gaps, and the float between work completion and insurance payment. Draw what you need, pay interest only on the outstanding balance, and renew annually.
We are not a lender. We compare offers from SBA-preferred banks, equipment lessors, and specialty commercial finance companies. You complete one application; we submit it to multiple sources and return term sheets in a single spreadsheet: APR equivalent (when disclosed), origination cost, prepayment rules, and total interest over the full term.
Our Lewisville location lets us visit your shop, photograph equipment for appraisal, and walk the lease to confirm zoning allows automotive repair. We've worked with shops near the Lake Lewisville dam that needed flood-zone riders and facilities on Old Denton Road where landlords required subordination agreements. Every variable that changes your cost or approval odds goes into our analysis before you sign.
Working capital
A three-bay independent shop on Valley Ridge Boulevard wanted to add a fourth bay, buy a Hunter alignment system, and carry 60 days of parts inventory for its new fleet contract with a local logistics company. The owner had been in business eight years, showed $720,000 annual revenue, and owned his building free and clear.
We structured a $180,000 SBA 7(a) loan at 25-year amortization for the bay build-out and alignment machine, then layered a $50,000 business line of credit for parts. The blended cost came in 40 percent lower than the merchant cash advance he'd been offered, and the line renewed after year one with no new origination fee. Total time from application to funding: 11 weeks.
If you're searching "bank of america business auto loan," "chase business auto loan," or "ally bank business auto loan," understand that retail-bank vehicle-loan programs rarely cover commercial equipment inside your shop. Navy Federal and Cal Coast credit unions offer competitive rates on fleet vehicles (the trucks and vans you drive), but a two-post lift or frame machine requires equipment financing or an SBA loan.
We broker both: vehicle loans for your service trucks and equipment loans for shop machinery. When a Hickory Creek shop needed three F-250s and a new spray booth, we split the financing so each piece carried the term and rate that matched its collateral life. That separation saved $11,000 in interest over five years compared to a single blanket loan.
Business auto loans without personal guarantee exist, but expect higher rates and lower advance percentages unless your shop shows strong EBITDA and two years of profitability. Equipment lenders sometimes waive the guarantee when the asset is new, easily repossessed, and holds resale value above the loan balance. SBA 7(a) loans require personal guarantees from any owner holding 20 percent or more equity.
We map the trade-off: if avoiding the guarantee costs you 200 basis points and shortens your term by three years, your monthly payment jumps $840. You decide whether that's worth the protection of your personal assets.
