Q:

How does refinancing my car work?

below arrow icon
A:

All we need is a little information from you to get started. After that, our team takes care of the

entire process:

Step 1. Provide your personal, vehicle, and employment information.

Step 2. Our loan consultants will determine which loans you qualify for and walk you through

your options.

Step 3. We submit your application to your chosen lender.

Step 4. Auto Approve will generate all of your new loan and title documents. We’ll send them to

you for an e-signature.

Step 5. Auto Approve will handle the rest and get your loan funded. We’ll also work with the

DMV to take care of the vehicle title.

Step 6. You’ll begin to make your payments to the new lender

It’s that simple and fast!

Q:

Does refinancing affect my credit score?

A:

Getting a quote does not affect your credit score. The ‘soft’ inquiry that Auto Approve performs is viewable only by you (no one else reviewing your credit can see these types of inquiries) and it does not impact your credit score in any way. When you choose to move forward with refinancing your vehicle, a ‘hard’ credit inquiry will occur and appear on your credit history. This is standard practice and is generally not a significant impact on your overall credit score. The short-term impact that a ‘hard’ inquiry may have on your credit will likely be far outweighed by the long-term benefits of finding a loan with more favorable terms.

Q:

Do you only refinance cars?

A:

Auto Approve refinances cars, trucks and SUVs. We also refinance:

  • Motorcycles
  • RVs
  • Boats
  • ATVs


At this time, commercial vehicles and heavy equipment machinery are not eligible for refinancing. We are also unable to refinance a vehicle under a company’s name.

Q:

How soon will I know if my application is approved?

Receiving a quote online only takes a few seconds.


Once your information is received, your dedicated loan consultant will work with you to submit your application to one of our preferred lending partners. In most cases you will receive a decision within minutes of submitting your application.

Q:

What are the benefits of refinancing my car?

below arrow icon
A:

Most of our customers consider refinancing to enjoy the benefit of lower monthly payments. With our help, Auto Approve customers save over $100 per month on average. That’s money you can put toward paying off bills or use for exciting purchases. If nothing else, it’s added peace of mind for when life’s unexpected moments catch you off guard.

Q:

Can I add or remove a co-borrower to my loan?

below arrow icon
A:

Yes. You can add or remove a co-borrower (also called a co-signer) to your new loan. Your new loan will be determined based on the person(s) applying or being removed. 

Q:

Will my information be secure?

A:

Yes. We value your trust in us and work with credible lending partners who also use up-to-date data security software to ensure your information remains private.

Q:

When is my first payment due?

below arrow icon
A:

The due date of your monthly payment will be listed in your loan package. Your first payment is typically due 45 days from the contract date, which means you get to skip a payment. We even offer a 90-day deferred payment option for qualified applicants.

Q:

Why does my offer expire?

below arrow icon
A:

Interest rates fluctuate for a variety of reasons, and they can even change daily. When you receive a lender-approved offer from Auto Approve, we lock in your rate so it doesn't change for up to 30 days.
