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 an approved budget loaded onto a virtual Visa credit card. This financial flexibility, managed via the Snap Wallet app, is designed to help individuals build their equipment and keep pace with new vehicle technology, while easing cashflow pressures.
The move comes after a recent LKQ survey identified that rising costs are the number one concern for technicians, potentially threatening competitiveness over the next five years. TechClub, which launched in early 2025, already offers members extended warranties, free tools, and bundle deals.
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.”
He noted that the EV transition is increasing cost pressures and that adding the finance option was a “natural next step.” Robinson added: “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: “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.”
