Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get pre-approved for an auto loan?
Complete the online application, or stop in and speak with a Financial Service Representative. By getting pre-approved, you will know how much you can spend which gives you more purchasing power.
Can I get pre-approved if I don’t know what car I am going to buy?
Yes! We can help you determine a payment you can afford and let you know if you qualify for that amount before you shop.
Can I refinance an existing loan?
Yes! It’s not unusual that people come to see us after they have purchased a vehicle, and realize the loan rate is much higher through the dealer. We can refinance your existing loan and save you money!
