Financing for Diesel Mechanics
Diesel work ties up cash in two ways: expensive parts ordered ahead of payment, and the diagnostic and workshop equipment the trade demands, with finance needs commonly around $60,000. Mechanics use working capital to cover parts and labour across 30-day account terms, and equipment finance for hoists, scan tools and specialised heavy-vehicle gear.
Whether you are kitting out a second bay or covering a big component order for a fleet client, the right finance keeps your capital working. Cockatoo helps you match to a partner who understands heavy-vehicle and mechanical workshops.
Common questions
