FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Everything you need to know before you apply.

Can I get a car loan with a credit score under 600?

Yes. Our Fresh Start program is specifically designed for customers with scores below 600. We focus on your current income and ability to pay — not just your past credit history.

Do I need a down payment?

Not necessarily. Many of our customers get approved with little or no money down. A down payment can help lower your monthly payments, but it is not always required.

Will applying affect my credit score?

Submitting a pre-approval application involves a soft inquiry and does not impact your credit score. A hard inquiry only occurs when you formally accept a financing offer.

Can I apply if I’ve been through bankruptcy?

Yes. We work with customers who have experienced bankruptcy or a consumer proposal — even if you were recently discharged. Our lender network specializes in second-chance financing.

How quickly can I get approved?

Many approvals come through the same day. Once you're approved, you can choose your vehicle and drive away — often the same day you apply.

Will this loan help rebuild my credit?

Yes. Each on-time monthly payment is reported to the major credit bureaus. Many of our Fresh Start customers return a few years later with significantly improved credit scores to upgrade their vehicle.
