For many people in Edgewood, KY, having a reliable vehicle is not a luxury, it is a necessity. It is your connection to work, school, grocery stores, and family. However, a low credit score can feel like a major roadblock, making the process of buying a car seem impossible.

We are here to change that narrative. We specialize in creating opportunities for individuals who have been turned down elsewhere. Our finance experts understand the nuances of subprime lending and are skilled at structuring bad credit car loans that work for you.

We are proud to serve our Edgewood neighbors and those in nearby communities like Florence and Covington, providing a clear and supportive path to vehicle ownership.
A "bad" credit score is not a personal failing; it is often the result of life's unpredictable events. Our team has worked with customers from all walks of life who have faced various financial challenges. Recognizing the root cause can help you understand that you are not alone and that there are clear steps you can take to move forward. Some common reasons for a damaged credit score include:
Regardless of the reason, our mission is to provide a solution. We offer specialized programs, including Buy Here Pay Here (BHPH) financing, which allows us to be the lender. This gives us the flexibility to approve loans based on our own common-sense criteria, helping you get the car you need while you work on rebuilding your financial standing.
We have designed our financing process to be straightforward and stress-free. We want to empower you with information and support, not overwhelm you with complicated paperwork and confusing jargon. Here is what you can expect when you choose to finance your next vehicle with us:
A key benefit of securing an auto loan and making consistent, on-time payments is its positive impact on your credit score. We report your payment history to the major credit bureaus, which helps you rebuild your credit over the life of the loan. This means your purchase not only solves your immediate transportation needs but also serves as a valuable tool for improving your long-term financial health.
Yes, it is absolutely possible to get an auto loan after a bankruptcy. While many traditional lenders are hesitant, we specialize in these situations. We work with lenders who understand that a bankruptcy is a tool for a financial fresh start. As long as your bankruptcy has been discharged, we can focus on your current income and ability to pay to find a suitable financing solution for you.
The down payment amount can vary based on several factors, including the price of the vehicle you choose and your individual credit situation. However, providing a larger down payment is always beneficial. It reduces the total amount you need to finance, which can lead to a lower monthly payment and may improve your chances of approval. Even if you have a limited amount for a down payment, we encourage you to speak with us. You can also use our Value My Trade tool to see how your current vehicle can be used as a down payment.
We understand this concern. Our initial process, such as getting pre-qualified, typically uses a "soft pull" on your credit, which does not affect your score. A "hard inquiry" is only made when you have selected a vehicle and are ready to finalize the loan application. While multiple hard inquiries in a short period can lower your score slightly, credit bureaus usually treat multiple inquiries for the same type of loan (like an auto loan) within a 14-45 day window as a single inquiry, minimizing the impact as you shop for the best rate.
Yes, we do. Having no credit can be as challenging as having bad credit. We work with first-time buyers and individuals new to building credit. Our programs for no-credit car financing focus on your income and job stability to help you get started on the right foot. An auto loan is one of the best ways to establish a positive credit history.
Getting pre-qualified is an initial step that gives you an estimate of how much you might be able to borrow. It is based on a soft credit check and the financial information you provide, and it does not impact your credit score. Getting pre-approved is a more formal step where a lender commits to giving you a loan for a certain amount. This process involves a hard credit inquiry and requires more detailed financial documentation. Pre-approval gives you a firm budget to work with when shopping for your car.
