What Is Auto Loan Refinancing?

Refinancing means replacing your current car loan with a new one, ideally with better terms. You take out a new loan to pay off the existing one, and then make payments on the new loan instead. It's a way to potentially save money or make your payment more manageable.

Lower Interest Rate If rates have dropped or your credit has improved, you may qualify for a better rate.

Lower Monthly Payment Extending your loan term can reduce what you pay each month.

Different Loan Term Adjust your timeline to fit your current financial situation.

Replace High Interest Loans Move away from subprime or dealer arranged financing to better terms.

Important: Refinancing isn't guaranteed to save you money. Results depend on your credit, current loan terms, and the offers available to you. We're here to help you understand your options, not to make promises.

How the Refinancing Process Works.

Understanding the steps can help you feel more confident and prepared.

Gather Your Loan Info Find your current interest rate, remaining balance, and monthly payment details.

Check Your Credit & Goals Review your credit score and decide what matters most, lower payment, shorter term, or both.

Explore Refinancing Options Research lenders and compare offers that fit your situation and financial goals.

Compare Potential Savings Calculate how much you could save monthly and over the life of your loan.

Signs Refinancing Might Help You.

These are common situations where refinancing could be worth exploring.

Your current interest rate feels higher than average.

Your credit score has improved since you got the loan.

Your monthly payment is causing financial stress.

You took out the loan during a difficult financial time.

Your original lender isn't flexible with your options.

If any of these sound familiar, it may be worth learning more about your options.

When Refinancing May Not Be a Good Idea...

We believe in being upfront. Here are situations where refinancing might not help.

Loan significantly upside down: Owing much more than your car is worth, refinancing may not help and could extend the problem

You're near the end of your loan term: With only a few months left, refinancing fees may outweigh any potential savings.

Fees would exceed your savings: Some refinancing comes with costs that could cancel out the benefits of a lower rate.

Also, someone might not refinance because...

In some cases, high fees can erase savings.

You might pay more interest overall with a longer term.

Poor credit or being “upside-down” on the loan can make refinancing less effective.

We include this section because your trust matters more than any referral. Understanding when refinancing doesn't make sense is just as important as knowing when it does.
