“I went in to refinance my car and had a great experience. I had a recent name change which made my credit a little messy. Will was extremely patient and guided me through the steps I need to take to get approved for the loan, ultimately saving me a bunch of money. He was knowledgeable, clear and non-judgemental. Traits that are very important to me when doing business with someone.”

Car Buying Questions
Auto loan refinancing involves getting a new auto loan to pay off your existing auto loan. Here are the simple steps you may follow:
- Consider why you want a refinance (lower rate, shorter term with a higher payment, longer term with a lower payment, don't like your current lender, etc.)
- Get pre-approved so you can compare your current car loan with the new rates and terms available.
- Agree to the terms and sign your contract.
- Your new lender contacts your current lender and pays off your old loan in full on your behalf.
- You start making new loan payments to your new lender.
There are several good reasons to choose an auto refinance and a few situations where you might want to stick with what you've got. Here are some ideas to consider:
- You may qualify for a lower interest rate if your credit has improved, but you also need to consider if market rates have gone up since you took out your loan. The difference may not be significant.
- You may get a lower rate if you choose a shorter term, but your payment will likely go up. This is a good option if you have extra income and want to pay off your loan sooner and save on interest.
- If money is tight, you may want to extend your loan term so you can get a lower monthly payment. Even if rates have gone up, it's better than defaulting on your loan or feeling short each month.
- The best rates and terms are subject to credit approval so you want to make sure you qualify for a lower rate than your existing rate before you sign the contract.
- If you're near the end of your loan term, it may not be worth the paperwork and possible fees to refinance your auto loan.
