How it works

Three steps.
Zero friction.

Built around the realities of a working body shop. No new software, no extra labor hours, no chasing checks.

  1. 01

    You identify a 3rd-party claim

    When a customer comes in for repairs paid by the at-fault driver's insurance, that vehicle has lost market value (even after a flawless repair).

  2. 02

    You refer them to Fender Financial

    Using your shop's dedicated portal, upload the RO PDF and one photo of the damage. The handoff takes 90 seconds.

  3. 03

    We buy the claim. They get paid.

    Fender Financial purchases the customer's diminished value claim up front. We text them once for a signature and then mail a check. All before they even get their car back from you. 

For body shops

Designed for the shop, not the insurance carrier.

Increase your capture rate

When your estimate ends up taking an insurance check, your shop loses a customer. Let us offer another option.

We pay up front

Whether we win or lose the claim, your customer gets paid. We bear all the risk.

Better customer experience

Your customer walks out with money they didn't know they were owed.

Doesn't interfere with repairs

The DV claim is separate from the repair. Our recoupment will not interfere with your reimbursements, guaranteed.

Zero new software

No integration, no IT lift. Just a dedicated landing page for your team to submit claims one at a time. 

Veteran owned, licensed

Fender Financial is veteran-owned and our licensed attorneys develop all the evidence necessary to support these claims 1:1.
