Why Michigan operators choose us
Most auto repair buyers in Michigan run into the same wall: the dealership's finance company turns them down for one reason — time in business, credit profile, age of equipment, prior BK. The bank takes weeks and asks for paperwork that isn't relevant. The deal dies on a technicality, not because the customer can't afford the equipment.
That's our business. We've spent 22 years building programs for the deals other lenders can't fit. Across every credit tier. Strong credit usually gets zero down. Lower credit usually gets a higher down payment. We're flexible enough to handle every scenario.
No one bank beats our flexibility.
What we know about Michigan auto repair financing
Michigan winter road-salt corrosion drives heavy demand for rust-repair welders, spot welders, frame straightening, and undercoating equipment
Detroit metro body-shop density (highest in the U.S. for collision repair) drives constant demand for paint booths, frame machines, and aluminum-repair stations
Michigan's OEM proximity (Big Three, Tier-1 suppliers) puts a premium on dealer-spec scan tools and OEM-certified body equipment
We work with operators across Michigan's major metros — including Detroit, Grand Rapids, Warren, Sterling Heights, and Ann Arbor.
We routinely close deals at the major Michigan auto repair dealers, including BendPak, Rotary Lift, Hunter Engineering, Garmat (paint), and Car-O-Liner (frame) — and any other vendor or private seller you choose. Once you're approved with us, you can carry your financing across dealers.

Who we fund in Michigan
Strong-credit operators who want the convenience of an equipment-finance specialist instead of bank paperwork. App-only, mostly phone and email.
Established businesses scaling fleets that need fast underwriting without bank back-and-forth.
First-time buyers who can't get past a dealer's finance company on time-in-business or down-payment requirements.
Operators with prior BK, slow pay, or thin file who need a finance company that will work the deal, not auto-decline.
Buyers of used equipment outside dealer finance age and hours limits.
Operators who want one financing relationship across many dealers — TAC carries with you. Get approved once, work with any vendor in Michigan.
What this looks like in practice
A Detroit body shop financing an aluminum-repair welder and paint booth upgrade called us after the dealer's finance company declined his application. Three minutes on the phone and we'd identified the program that fit his file. We told him exactly what to expect — what to send, what the down payment range would look like, when he'd have an answer back.
Closed inside a week. Equipment delivered. Operator back to work.
It's rare we send anyone away without an option.

Tyson's Peterbilt 389 and hopper trailer at the fuel island
“Camron is the best. I had less than perfect credit and he went above and beyond to help me secure financing for a semi and trailer. He took care of everything and made it easy to get everything done. Will use them again in the future.”

★★★★★
“I am an Owner-Operator and I was looking to finance the balloon payment on my rig outside of the company I was with. I started searching online and in the local truck stop magazines for a company that could assist in this endeavor. I had multiple companies approach with possible options. Trust Alliance stood out from the rest. Their rep Logan Cleveland was by far one of the most diligent and effective guys I ever worked with. His level of follow-up was unsurpassed. He kept me in complete contact and really helped me at every turn through the process. If you have to deal with anybody, deal with him. He's not only an asset to Trust Alliance, he'll be an asset to you. If I have to do the process again, Logan will be the first and last call I make.”

How we structure auto repair deals in Michigan
You call us or send the application. Three-minute phone diagnosis or 60-second pre-qual form.
We underwrite your profile — terms based on credit tier, equipment age, time in business, industry, and what's funding today. We're a fishing guide for commercial finance.
We bring real terms. Not "rate starts at" marketing numbers. Down payment, monthly payment, term, and what we'd need to close.
You sign and get insurance, the equipment funds. Direct to the dealer or vendor. DocuSign close in many cases.
From first call to funded equipment, most deals close in a week or less.
