Where It Belongs
Independent repair shops are the backbone of the automotive service industry. They keep vehicles running, families moving, and local economies going. But running a shop means managing cash flow carefully, and core deposits can quietly tie up thousands of dollars at any given time.
The Core Deferral Program was built with that reality in mind. When a shop does not have to front a core deposit at the point of sale, that capital stays available for the things that actually keep the doors open: paying technicians, covering overhead, stocking supplies, and taking on the next job. Instead of waiting for a core refund to recoup funds already spent, shops can operate with more flexibility from the start.
Over time, that flexibility adds up. Shops that are not cash-constrained by deposits can take on more work, serve more customers, and grow at a pace that makes sense for their business. Our goal is to be a partner in that growth, not a financial obstacle to it.
