Trust Is the Best Tool in Your Bodyshop: Why Integrity Matters in Relationships

In every successful bodyshop, cash flow sits at the heart of daily operations. With constant demands from parts orders, payroll and everyday pressures, even the busiest workshops can face financial hurdles.

ACG offers a practical solution for bodyshops, helping turn unpaid invoices into immediate working capital. ACG funding gives fast access to money you have already earned without being tied into lengthy payment terms. Just submit your invoice pack to ACG, and within 24 hours its value is released, minus a nominal fee.

This quick injection of funds helps you pay technicians on time, order essential parts without delay and invest in new equipment or business expansion. Then ACG handles collections, saving time, reducing admin and keeping your business running smoothly.

However, true success relies on honesty and integrity on both sides. A transparent partnership between the bodyshop and their funding provider builds trust, reliability and a foundation for steady performance. Providers rely on accurate, up-to-date information about receivables to ensure payments flow smoothly.

The Integrity Factor: Reputation Matters

Reputation matters in funding. At ACG, we take the time to understand how a bodyshop operates, because trust forms the foundation of any successful partnership. When an open dialogue is in place, both parties succeed and form lasting relationships.

There are still myths around factoring and similar funding services, suggesting it is only for struggling businesses or that it means losing control of finances. In reality, ACG funding is simply a smart way to unlock money you have already earned. By using funding responsibly and openly, bodyshops can challenge outdated perceptions and show the wider industry that this is a practical tool for sustainable success.

The Win-Win: How Integrity Benefits Both Sides

Integrity benefits both the bodyshop and the funding provider. Accurate invoices and clarity on operations allow funding to flow quickly, while the bodyshop gains faster access to funds and peace of mind. Honesty prevents misunderstandings, avoids disputes and lays the groundwork for better rates, flexible terms and ongoing support. Simply put, integrity is not just good ethics; it is smart business.

Carl Smith, Managing Director at Repair & Restore Bodyshop, shares his experience with ACG:
“In the past, we used other factoring companies, but we were introduced to ACG through one of our work providers. Since then, we have built a fantastic partnership. Communication is key, and the ACG team is always on hand to support us with updates and queries.”

Carl’s story shows how integrity benefits both sides. Repair & Restore has built trust with ACG from the start, ensuring smooth funding while enjoying reliable support that keeps day-to-day operations running confidently.
