Year-End Equipment Purchases: Save on Taxes & Upgrade Your Automotive Shop

Why Year-End Equipment Purchases Make Sense for Automotive Shops

As the end of the year approaches, automotive shop owners and service managers have an opportunity to reduce taxable income while investing in equipment that improves productivity and safety. Purchasing automotive shop equipment before December 31 may allow businesses to take advantage of tax deductions under IRS Section 179 (consult your tax advisor).

Important note: To qualify for most year-end tax deductions, equipment generally must be placed in service by December 31, meaning it must be installed, operational, and ready for use. Ordering equipment or making a deposit alone may not be enough. Always confirm timing and eligibility with your tax professional.

Year-end equipment purchases help your business:

• Lower potential tax liability
• Improve shop efficiency immediately
• Avoid rising equipment costs in the new year

How Equipment Purchases Can Reduce Your Tax Burden

Qualifying equipment purchased and placed into service before year-end may be eligible for full or partial deductions. This can include items such as:

• Automotive lifts
• Tire and wheel equipment
• Air compressors
• Heavy-duty shop equipment

Instead of paying more in taxes, many businesses choose to reinvest in their operations with equipment that delivers long-term returns.
