Loans for car repairs with bad credit
Can I get a car repair loan even with bad credit? Yes, it is possible! We understand that bad credit isn’t always an indicator of where you’re at today, and we have an evaluation process that takes this into consideration.
For those who find themselves in a financially secure position after a history of bad credit, it can prove very difficult to secure a standard loan. So, by looking into the ‘here and now’ of your financial situation, we’re able to offer a bad credit loan to those who have been impacted by poor credit in the past.
We offer our loans after evaluating current bank statements, assessing whether you have the ability to repay the loan now, not one year ago or some other time in the past. This way, you can get an emergency car repair loan with bad credit, helping you back on the road.
