Can my auto shop finance bulk parts inventory?
Missing a $50 part shouldn't cost you a $500 repair job, but it happens every day. Smart shops use a quick business loan to stock up on fast-moving parts, capture bulk discounts, and avoid telling impatient customers "we're waiting on parts."
How shops use inventory financing strategically:
- Bulk buying power: Suppliers offer discounts on large orders. That savings alone often covers your financing costs.
- Seasonal preparation: Stock up on AC components before summer, and batteries before winter. When prices might be lower and availability is high, your customers and your shop both win.
- Common parts inventory: Keep filters, brakes, and fluids in stock so routine jobs never wait for delivery.
Every shop owner has learned: parts availability wins customers. When your competitor is quoting two weeks for a job, your same-day repair captures that customer, often permanently.
QuicLoans doesn't require detailed inventory plans or supplier agreements. If your shop shows consistent deposits of $10K+ monthly, you probably qualify. Use the funds however it makes sense for your business- whether that's one massive parts order or strategic purchases from multiple suppliers. Get approved in hours, funded same day, lose fewer jobs to parts availability, and increase your bottom line.
