Financing for Auto Wreckers
For an auto wrecker, finance is mostly about stock and systems. Buying a run of vehicles to dismantle, investing in yard equipment like a forklift or dismantling gear, or putting in an inventory and online-listing system to sell parts faster can each call for funding around $60,000, and that is before the working capital to keep buying incoming stock.
Cockatoo helps you check your working-capital position and matches you to a finance partner who understands a stock-and-recovery business. That means you can keep buying vehicles and invest in the systems that turn yard stock into sales, without your cash being locked up in slow-moving parts.
Common questions
Auto Wreckers — business loan questions
Can I finance vehicle stock and yard equipment?
Yes. Working-capital finance can fund buying vehicles to dismantle, and equipment finance can cover forklifts, dismantling gear or inventory systems. Cockatoo helps you size what you need and matches you to a suitable partner.
How much do auto wreckers typically borrow?
It varies with yard size and turnover, but amounts around $60,000 are common for stock and equipment combined. Cockatoo helps you set a figure that matches how fast you turn parts into sales.
