Second chance auto financing is a specialized type of loan designed for individuals who have been denied traditional financing due to their credit history. Unlike conventional lenders who rely heavily on credit scores, second chance lenders consider other important factors, such as your income, job stability, and the size of your down payment. It is a pathway to vehicle ownership for those with subprime credit, offering a fresh start and a practical solution to your transportation needs. Here in Arlington Heights, IL, we have cultivated strong relationships with lenders who are experts in this field. This allows us to secure approvals for a wide range of credit profiles, ensuring you get the reliable car, truck, or SUV you need to manage your daily life, from commuting to work to taking care of your family.
Many life events can negatively impact a credit score, and we believe these situations should not prevent you from securing essential transportation. Our programs are designed to help a diverse group of people from Arlington Heights and neighboring communities like Palatine and Schaumburg.

One of the most significant advantages of securing a second chance auto loan is the opportunity it provides to rebuild your credit. Our lending partners report your payment history to the major credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion). By making your payments on time each month, you demonstrate financial responsibility and begin to establish a positive payment history. Over the life of the loan, this can lead to a substantial improvement in your credit score. A higher credit score opens doors to better financing options in the future, not just for vehicles but for mortgages, personal loans, and credit cards. Think of your car loan as more than just a means of transportation; it is an investment in your financial future.
We have designed our financing process to be straightforward and stress-free. We want to get you behind the wheel of a great vehicle without the hassle and judgment you might find at other dealerships.
To help us secure your loan approval as quickly as possible, it is helpful to gather a few documents before visiting our dealership. While every situation is unique, our lending partners typically ask for the following items:
Having these items ready will expedite the process. If you have any questions about what to bring, please do not hesitate to contact us ahead of your visit.
Yes, absolutely. We work with lenders who specialize in post-bankruptcy auto loans. While some lenders require the bankruptcy to be discharged, others are willing to work with individuals in an open Chapter 13 plan. Our finance team can help you navigate the specific requirements and find a solution that works for your situation.
The down payment amount can vary based on the vehicle you choose and your overall credit profile. While a larger down payment can help lower your monthly payments and improve your approval chances, we work with many customers who have limited funds for a down payment. We also accept trade-ins, which can be used to cover all or part of your down payment requirement.
When you apply, a "hard inquiry" is placed on your credit report, which can cause a small, temporary dip in your score. However, our process is efficient. We work with our network of lenders to find the best option quickly, minimizing multiple inquiries. The long-term benefits of rebuilding your credit with on-time payments far outweigh the minor impact of the initial inquiry.
Interest rates for second chance loans are typically higher than those for prime borrowers due to the increased risk for the lender. However, we are committed to finding you the most competitive rate possible. Your rate will depend on several factors, including your credit history, income, and down payment. Making consistent on-time payments can also open up opportunities to refinance at a lower rate in the future.
Yes, we do. We understand that everyone has to start somewhere. We have specific programs designed for first-time buyers and those with no established credit. Our new credit financing helps you secure your first major loan and begin building a strong credit profile for the future.
