EMISSIONS TESTING EQUIPMENT

Emissions testing equipment financing

We finance vehicle emissions testing equipment for smog stations, repair shops and diesel shops: analyzers, dynamometers, OBD test systems and full test lanes, new or used, from any supplier. Transactions start at $10,000: a complete lane, or a bundle of equipment that adds up to it.

What we finance

New or used, from any vendor, dealer or auction. Named manufacturers are examples of what this covers, not a limit — if what you need is not on this list, ask.

  • Smog test stations and complete emissions test lanes
  • OBD test systems and inspection workstations
  • Smog and emissions analyzers, gas benches and calibration kits
  • Diesel opacity meters and smoke testers
  • Chassis and single-roll dynamometers
  • Diesel emissions analyzers and portable measurement
  • DPF cleaning, regeneration and filter service equipment
  • SCR and DEF service equipment and injector testing
  • Vehicle exhaust extraction and shop ventilation
  • Heavy-duty scan tools, lane software and reporting
  • Shop lifts, alignment racks and tire equipment
  • Used analyzers, lanes and dealer-demo stations

Why lease it

01

Add a service the shop sends away today

A shop without emissions test equipment sends that work down the street. Financing puts the lane in place on a monthly payment rather than a single large check.

02

Analyzer, dyno and software together

A lane is a system, not a cabinet. The analyzer, the dynamometer, the workstation and the software go on one agreement, even when they come from different suppliers.

03

Keep working capital for parts

Cash in a shop belongs in inventory and payroll. A payment keeps the equipment out of the same pocket the parts come from.

Financing by emission testing equipment type

Financing starts at $10,000. A full test lane usually clears that on its own. A standalone analyzer or OBD tool can cost less, and a single low-cost unit does not qualify by itself, but it does as part of a lane or a bundle with shop equipment that totals $10,000 or more.

Smog and emissions analyzers

Five-gas analyzers, gas benches, sample systems and calibration kits for gasoline vehicles. An analyzer under $10,000 is financed together with the dynamometer, the workstation or other shop equipment, not on its own.

Dynamometers

Chassis and single-roll dynamometers for loaded-mode testing, new or used, with freight and installation in the amount financed. A dyno bought with its analyzer goes on one agreement.

OBD test systems

OBD inspection systems, workstations, printers and test software. An OBD tool on its own is often under $10,000, so it qualifies as part of a lane or a shop package rather than by itself.

Full emissions test lanes

Analyzer, dynamometer, OBD system, workstation, software and exhaust extraction, on one agreement with the installation included. This is the simplest way to finance emission test equipment, because the whole lane counts toward the $10,000.

Diesel opacity and DPF service

Opacity meters, diesel emissions analyzers and SCR service tools, usually alongside filter cleaning. See DPF cleaner machine financing.

The rest of the shop

Lifts, alignment racks, tire machines and scan tools can go on the same agreement as the test equipment, which is often how a smaller emissions purchase reaches $10,000. See auto repair equipment financing.

What sets the payment on emissions testing equipment

Four things decide the monthly number. To see a range before you talk to anyone, use the equipment lease calculator.

The whole installed cost

The equipment plus freight, dyno installation, exhaust extraction, software and training. Including the soft costs makes the amount larger but keeps that cash in the shop.

The term

Usually 24 to 60 months. A longer term lowers the payment. A shorter term costs more each month and less in total.

The end-of-term option

A fair market value lease has a lower payment and lets you return or upgrade, which suits equipment you expect to replace. A $1 buyout lease or an equipment finance agreement costs more each month, and you own the equipment at the end.

The business behind it

Time in business, credit history and the size of the transaction. Startups are considered on personal credit and experience. Up to $150,000 is usually decided on a one-page application without financial statements.

New station, added lane or used equipment

Opening a smog station

A new station is considered on the owner's personal credit and experience. The lane, the workstation and the installation can go on one agreement.

Adding emissions testing to a repair shop

A shop with its own history can add a test lane to the bays it already runs, on its own or alongside new lifts or alignment equipment.

Buying used emissions equipment

A used analyzer, a dealer-demo station or a lane from a station that is closing finances the same way as new. We pay the dealer, auction or seller directly. See used equipment financing.

Confirm the equipment with your state program first

Emissions testing programs are run by the states, and their requirements differ. We finance the purchase, but we do not approve equipment for any program. Before you order, confirm with the supplier and your state's program that the equipment meets its requirements, and do the same before buying used.

Emissions testing equipment financing questions

Can I finance emissions testing equipment for my shop?

Yes. Smog test stations, emissions analyzers, opacity meters, dynamometers, OBD test systems and lane software are financed new or used, from any supplier, on one agreement. Transactions start at $10,000, terms run 24 to 60 months, and up to $150,000 is usually decided on a one-page application without financial statements.

Can I finance a single emissions analyzer or OBD tool?

Not on its own if it costs under $10,000. A standalone analyzer or OBD tool can cost less than that, and a single low-cost unit does not qualify by itself. A full test lane, or a bundle with lifts, alignment or other shop equipment that totals $10,000 or more, does.

Do you finance a complete smog test lane?

Yes. The analyzer, the dynamometer, the OBD system, the workstation, the software and the exhaust extraction can all go on one agreement, with installation included in the amount financed, so the lane is paid for as one purchase rather than piece by piece.

Can I finance a dynamometer for emissions testing?

Yes. Chassis and single-roll dynamometers are financed new or used, on their own when the total is $10,000 or more, or together with the analyzer and the rest of the test lane. Freight and installation can be included.

Does the equipment have to meet my state's emissions program?

That is between you, your supplier and your state. We finance the purchase, but we do not approve equipment for any testing program. Before you order, confirm with the supplier and your state's program that the equipment meets its requirements.

Can I finance used emissions testing equipment?

Yes. Used and dealer-demo analyzers, dynamometers and complete lanes are financed the same way as new equipment, from any dealer, auction or private seller, including a lane bought from a station that is closing. We pay the seller directly.

Can a new smog station finance its equipment?

Yes. Startups are considered on the owner's personal credit and experience in the trade. The test lane and the rest of the opening equipment can go on one agreement when the total is $10,000 or more.

Can a diesel shop finance opacity and DPF equipment together?

Yes. Diesel opacity meters, emissions analyzers, DPF cleaning and regeneration equipment and SCR service tools can go on one agreement as a diesel service package when the total is $10,000 or more.
