Bad credit car loans
If you’re having challenges getting approved, don’t worry. Go Auto has solutions for nearly every credit situation. Our financing tools and credit specialists will help you get back behind the wheel with affordable auto loans that make sense for you.
We approve when the banks don't
Thanks to our success, we have created our own finance company, Go Finance. So, if we can't find a bank to approve you for an auto loan, we can finance your loan ourselves. This means we approve more people than anyone else.
Re-finance your bad loan
Unlike our competitors, we can lower the interest rate on your vehicle over time as long as you're making regular payments. With Go Auto, you're not stuck with a rate you can't afford. To get started, fill out the form above.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Should I Bring to My Finance Appointment?
You should bring:
- A valid government-issued driver’s license
- Your last paystub
- A void cheque
Depending on the specifics of your purchase, you may be required to bring additional information. For a complete list of what you’ll need to buy or trade in a vehicle with Go Auto, call the dealership ahead of time and speak with a Sales Consultant.
Will I be approved for a car loan?
Four main factors determine whether you get approved for a car loan:
- The Vehicle You’re Buying: cost, age, and mileage
- Customer Information: employment history, residence, and income
- Customer Credit History: your credit score, debts, past payment history, etc.
- Down Payment: includes cash down payment and trade-in equity
For the best chance of approval, and the lowest monthly payment possible, try to select a vehicle that fits your budget. Also, provide as large of a down payment as you can.
How are my car payments calculated?
Once you’re approved for a car loan, three factors will affect your monthly payment (in order of importance):
- Amount financed
- Term or length of contract
- Annual Percentage Rate (APR)
We offer competitive rates from a variety of finance companies to fit nearly every budget and credit profile. You can learn more about your personal finance options at any Go Auto dealership.
How do I budget for car payments?
The rule of thumb from most financial institutions is to spend no more than 15% of your gross monthly income on your car payment.
For example, if you make $2,000 a month you should spend no more than $300 on your car payment.
What is my credit score?
Your credit score helps financial institutions predict the risk associated with your purchase of a car, house, credit card, etc. Essentially, it's meant to forecast how (and if) you will pay your bills.
The higher your credit score, the greater your chance of receiving a better financing offer from Go Auto.
How is my credit score calculated?
Your credit score is a number that ranges from about 350 to 850. In general, the higher the number, the more likely you are to get approved for a car loan. The systems that generate your credit score look at your credit report and take several factors into account, including:
- The timeliness of your payments, including late payments
- The amount and type of debt you have
- The number and age of your credit accounts
- Inquiries created by applying for credit
- Public records such as liens and judgments
Should I finance or lease?
Do you prefer to drive a new vehicle every few years that will always be under warranty? That's one advantage of leasing. Do you prefer to build up equity and drive one car for a long time? Then consider financing.
There are all sorts of factors to consider when choosing between financing and leasing. Luckily, we have a team of finance experts who are Happy to Help you find the best option for you. Call 780-777-7777 or any Go Auto dealership to schedule a free consultation.

Can I qualify for financing on my first vehicle?
Of course. Many Go Auto customers qualify for financing on their first vehicle purchase.
If a normal credit determination cannot be made based on your current credit history, you may still qualify for other programs, like those for recent college graduates.
Stipulations for college students vary by finance company. Check with a finance professional at any of our Go Auto dealerships for more information.
