LKQ partners with Snap Finance to offer flexible finance, helping technicians kit out their toolbox
Technicians can now spread the cost of essential tools, parts and training through LKQ Euro Car Parts TechClub, helping individuals to invest in the equipment and courses they need without the strain of upfront payments.
Through a new partnership with Snap Finance, TechClub members can access tailored finance options with their approved budget conveniently loaded onto a virtual Visa credit card. Through the Snap Wallet app, TechClub members can then manage their spend easily and repay monthly with flexible terms. This makes it easier for individuals to build up their equipment and keep pace with new vehicle technology, while easing cashflow pressures.
TechClub already integrates with PayPal, giving members further flexibility in how they pay. A recent LKQ survey found that rising costs are the number one concern for technicians, threatening competitiveness over the next five years – underscoring the importance of affordable access to tools and equipment.
Members of TechClub, which launched in early 2025, also benefit from exclusive offers including extended warranties, free tools and bundle deals, designed to give technicians of all backgrounds the same access to professional-grade equipment.
Matt Robinson, B2B Director at LKQ Euro Car Parts, said: “We created TechClub to make access to tools, parts and services simple for individual technicians - supporting their development while helping the garages they work for. Flexibility is central to the platform, and with the EV transition placing new demands on garages to stock an even wider range of parts and equipment, cost pressures are growing.
“It was therefore a natural next step to add Snap Finance as a payment option. This means technicians can continue to deliver great service, particularly when turnover or cash availability fluctuates, and smaller garages won’t be held back by short-term financial pressures. We’re committed to working as a supportive partner to the aftermarket, which is ultimately powered by the skill of individual technicians.”
Liam Deasey, Chief Revenue Officer at Snap Finance added: “Managing costs can be challenging for businesses and individuals alike, particularly when investment in new equipment or services can’t be delayed. By working with LKQ Euro Car Parts’ TechClub, we’re giving technicians more choice to access what they need straight away while managing costs responsibly.”
