If your business is planning diagnostic or repair equipment purchases in 2025, now is the time to act. Thanks to updates under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), Section 179 tax incentives are more generous than ever. By partnering with Triad, you can make smarter buying decisions and turn year-end purchases into serious tax savings.

What’s New for 2025?

For the 2025 tax year, Section 179 has been expanded to encourage capital investment:

  • The maximum deduction is now $2.5 million
  • The phase‑out threshold has increased to $4 million
  • Bonus depreciation remains at 100% for qualifying property

That means businesses can potentially deduct the full purchase price of eligible equipment — including new diagnostic tools and technology — in the same tax year it’s placed in service.

What Types of Equipment Qualify?

Under Section 179, most tangible equipment used for business qualifies — as long as it’s new and placed into service during the tax year. This includes:

If you’re investing in Autel’s commercial-grade diagnostic tablets or ADAS calibration equipment through Triad, those purchases may be fully deductible under Section 179. That’s a direct way to improve your shop’s capabilities and reduce your taxable income.

Don’t Wait Until December

Section 179 benefits are powerful — but timing is everything. To claim the deduction for 2025, your equipment must be purchased and in use by December 31. That means planning ahead is crucial.

Let Triad help you find the right equipment, take full advantage of this year’s tax breaks, and strengthen your business for the long term.
