What Is Repair & Breakdown Financing?

Finance the repair. Keep the truck earning.
A breakdown doesn't wait for a convenient time, and neither does the bill. Repair and breakdown financing lets you cover a major commercial repair invoice without paying the full amount from cash on hand. Instead of draining your operating account, the invoice is financed into manageable monthly payments, and we pay the repair facility directly once your file is approved.This applies to qualifying repairs on trucks, trailers, and commercial equipment — including major component work like engine or transmission repairs, electrical and emissions issues, and reefer unit repairs on Cummins, Detroit Diesel, Freightliner, Peterbilt, Carrier, or Thermo King equipment, among others.
  • Funds sent directly to your repair shop
  • No down payment required
  • Manageable monthly payments
  • Covers qualifying commercial repairs from $5,000

Repair & Breakdown Financing Benefits

Get back on the road. Protect your cash flow.
A major repair is stressful enough without watching it empty your operating account. Repair financing lets you handle the invoice without sacrificing the cash you need to keep the rest of the business running — fuel, payroll, insurance, and the next load.
With Mehmi Repair & Breakdown Financing, You Can:
  • Keep your truck or equipment earning instead of sitting in the bay
  • Preserve cash for fuel, insurance, and payroll
  • Have the repair facility paid directly, without using your own funds upfront
  • Pay off the balance early any time, with no penalty
Ideal If You Want To:
  • Avoid draining your operating account for an unexpected repair
  • Avoid tying up a credit card limit you need for fuel and emergencies
  • Get a truck, trailer, or piece of equipment back to work quickly

Why Choose Mehmi for Repair & Breakdown Financing?

At Mehmi Financial Group, we specialize in fast, flexible repair financing for Canadian owner-operators, fleets, and small businesses. We know a parked truck doesn't earn, so we review your file quickly and keep the process simple.

We don't report your account to the credit bureaus unless a default leads to collections, so a financed repair doesn't show up as new debt on your credit profile in the normal course of repayment. And because this is commercial financing, interest may be tax-deductible if you file as a business — confirm the details with your accountant.
  • Repairs financed from $5,000, including engine, transmission, electrical, and reefer unit work
  • We consider bank-declined files and challenged credit profiles, not just credit score alone
  • Transparent terms — a flat admin fee, no other hidden costs
  • We don't report to the credit bureaus unless an account goes to collections
Finance Smarter — Repair Financing Made Easy

Get back on the road without tying up the cash you need for fuel, insurance, and payroll. We review your repair invoice, your equipment, and your business to get you a decision fast.

Who Qualifies for Repair & Breakdown Financing?

You’re likely a strong match if:

  • You have a repair invoice or estimate of $5,000 or more
  • Your truck, trailer, or equipment is still commercially useful
  • You have steady job or business history and 650+ credit score

Even with a lower credit score or a shorter history, you may still qualify — strong cash flow, a cosigner, or the value of the asset being repaired can all help strengthen an application. We typically look for a credit profile in the 650+ range, but we'll also weigh cosigners and the asset itself as part of the file.

Repair Financing vs Credit Card vs Cash: What’s Right for Your Business?

Feature Repair Financing Credit Card Cash
Cost of Borrowing About 1.5%/month on the declining balance — averaging just over 10% annually Typical Canadian card rates run about 19.99%–25.99% if a balance is carried No interest, but ties up working capital
Upfront Cost No down payment Uses available card limit Full invoice paid immediately
Where Funds Go Paid directly to your repair facility Charged to your card at the shop Paid directly to the shop from your account
Early Payout No early payout penalty (open loan) N/A N/A
Impact on Credit Not reported to credit bureaus unless an account defaults Reduces available credit, may affect utilization No credit impact, but reduces cash reserves
Tax Treatment Interest may be tax-deductible for commercial use* Interest typically not deductible on personal cards N/A
On a representative $20,000 repair, that’s about $2,053 in interest under repair financing versus about $4,598 if the same invoice were carried on a credit card at a typical annual rate — even after our flat $500 admin fee, that’s a savings of more than $2,000.

*Tax benefits depend on structure and jurisdiction. Always consult your accountant.

FAQ: Got Questions? We’re Straightforward.

Can I get approved with bad credit or a limited credit history?

Yes. Mehmi Financial Group reviews repair financing applications from a wide range of credit profiles, including bank-declined files and businesses rebuilding after a setback. Strong cash flow, a cosigner, or the value of the asset being repaired can all help strengthen a file.

How fast can I get approved and funded?

Most files get a conditional decision within one business hour once your invoice and documents are submitted. Final approval and timing depend on the complete file, but once approved, we pay your repair facility directly.

Do you pay the repair shop directly, or do I get the funds?

We pay the repair facility directly once approval and final documentation are complete. That keeps the invoice connected to the actual repair and helps your shop release the truck or equipment without you covering the bill yourself first.

Do I need a down payment?

No. Repair and breakdown financing through Mehmi requires no down payment, so you can get the repair started without paying anything upfront.

What size of repair invoice qualifies?

Qualifying repair invoices typically start at $5,000. This can include engine and transmission work, electrical and emissions repairs, reefer unit repairs, and other major commercial repairs.

Can I pay off the balance early?

Yes. This is an open loan, so you can pay it off in full or in part at any time with no early payout penalty.

What if my repair issue is bigger than one invoice?

If the situation goes beyond a single repair, our Working Capital Loan or Line of Credit may be a better fit. Our Engine Rebuild & Replacement Financing and Tire & Accessory Financing pages cover specific repair categories if that's a closer match to what you need.
