Program Overview

Cars always need service.

Auto service is one of the steadiest net lease categories because the work can't be done online. Cars get older, they need oil changes and repairs, and drivers go to the shop closest to them. Tenants like Caliber Collision, Jiffy Lube, Advance Auto Parts, and Express Oil Change sign long leases and invest in lifts, bays, and equipment they don't want to move.

The loan is based on the lease: the tenant, the guaranty, and the years remaining. Buildings with service bays on busy roads also re-lease well to other auto brands if the first tenant leaves. With no prepayment penalty, you can sell or refinance whenever the timing is right.

Auto Service Questions

Frequently asked

How do you finance an auto service property?+
If you own the real estate and lease it to the auto service tenant, the loan is based on the lease: the rent, the guaranty, and the years remaining. Purchase, refinance, and cash out are all available, from $1 million to $30 million, with no prepayment penalty.
Can I get a loan on a Caliber Collision property?+
Yes. Caliber is the largest collision repair company in the country, and its centers are usually on long corporate leases. The loan is based on the lease and the years remaining.
Can I get a loan on a Jiffy Lube property?+
Yes. Most Jiffy Lube buildings are leased to franchise operators. A lease guaranteed by an operator with at least 20 locations is a strong fit.
Can I get a loan on an Advance Auto Parts property?+
Yes. Advance Auto Parts stores are freestanding buildings on corporate leases, and they're a strong fit.
Can I get a loan on an Express Oil Change property?+
Yes. Express Oil Change and Tire Engineers centers on corporate or large franchise leases are a strong fit.
What about environmental issues?+
Service properties handle oil and other fluids, so a Phase I environmental report is ordered early. If it recommends more testing, you'll know before you've spent money on the rest of the closing.
Can I buy an auto service property with a 1031 exchange?+
Yes. Send the property as soon as it's under contract, and we'll come back with terms early enough to keep your exchange on schedule.
Can I get more than 65% of value, or a smaller loan?+
Yes, through our commercial DSCR loans. They reach up to 75% of value, start at $200,000, need no minimum DSCR on loans under $500,000 and 0.9x above that, and offer terms up to a 30 year fixed. Buildings leased to local businesses fit there too. The tradeoff is that most carry a step-down prepayment instead of none. See our Automotive DSCR loans.
