You Financed at Yesterday's Credit.You Don't Have to Keep Paying It.
Most people finance a car at a rate that reflected their credit at the time, often through the dealer. If your score has improved since then, you may be paying more every month than you need to. We help you check, and if your credit is not there yet, we help you build it and revisit.
Your score moved, your rate did not
A better score can mean a better rate on the same car you already own.
Dealer financing is worth a second look
It is common to end up at a higher rate than you actually qualified for.

When Refinancing a Car LoanActually Makes Sense
Refinancing is not automatically the right move. Here is when it usually is.
Your credit improved
This is the biggest one. A higher score today can mean a materially better rate on the same car.
You financed through the dealer
Dealer-arranged financing often lands above the rate you could have qualified for on your own.
Rates have moved
If the market has shifted since you signed, the loan you have may no longer be the loan you can get.
You need a lower payment
A better rate, a different term, or both can bring the payment down to something that fits.
You have time left on the loan
The more months remaining, the more a rate change has room to matter.
One honest caveat about lower payments
Stretching the term is the easiest way to lower a monthly payment, but it can raise the total interest you pay over the life of the loan. Sometimes that tradeoff is worth it because you need room in your budget right now. Sometimes it is not. We will walk you through both numbers so you are choosing it on purpose.
What Could Your New Payment Be?
Set your payoff balance and a term to see a sample payment. Then check your real rate.

Estimate only, shown at a representative 7.99% APR. Your actual rate and payment vary by credit, vehicle, and lender. A longer term lowers the monthly payment but can increase the total interest you pay.
Three Steps, No Credit Hit to Look
Check your rate
Answer a few questions to see what you may qualify for. This is a soft inquiry, so your score is not affected.
Compare your offers
Look at rate, term, and monthly payment side by side instead of one lender at a time.
Your new lender pays off the old loan
Pick the offer that fits. The new lender handles the payoff and the title, and you start paying them.
Have These Handy
Checking your rate takes a few minutes. Having these four things nearby makes it faster.
Your current loan
The lender you pay now and your payoff amount.
Your vehicle details
Year, make, model, and mileage. Lenders set limits on vehicle age and mileage.
Your income
Enough steady income to comfortably carry the payment.
Your credit
It shapes the rate more than the approval. Better credit, better terms.
A note on timing
Most lenders want a short seasoning period after you buy, often around 60 to 90 days, and they need the title processed before they can refinance. If it is too early for your situation, we will tell you rather than run you through an application that goes nowhere.
