Rising Repair Costs Make Financing Essential
Modern vehicles are packed with sensors and cameras that drive up collision repair costs. AAA reports that advanced driver‑assistance systems (ADAS) can add up to 37.6% to post‑crash repair bills, with minor front‑collision ADAS components averaging $1,540 and minor rear‑collision ADAS components averaging $684 on total repair estimates around $1,698.

Refinishing adds cost, too. Kelley Blue Book notes that a full professional paint job can run to the thousands of dollars depending on prep, quality, and vehicle size (a typical full‑body repaint example is around $3,000 for a decade‑old sedan with minimal prep). Source: Kelley Blue Book.
With overall repair costs still trending upward across the industry, shops that offer POS financing keep more work in‑house and protect cash flow. Source: CCC Crash Course 2024.
