Car Repair Loans - the details
Being better informed makes for better decisions. Have a question or two? Check out these helpful FAQs or get in touch with the team.

What can I use a car repair loan for?

A car repair loan can cover a wide range of vehicle repair costs - including engine repairs, transmission work, brake replacements, tyre changes, electrical fixes, WOF-related repairs, and more.

How much can I borrow for a car repair loan?

The amount you can borrow will depend on your income, credit history, and the overall cost of the repairs needed. Loan amounts are tailored to your situation and borrowing capacity. Subject to lender criteria and approval.

How does the application process work?

We know that when your car's out of action, you want to get things sorted. Once you've submitted your application and provided the required documents, we assess your situation and work to match you with a suitable lender from our panel. Timeframes can vary depending on the complexity of your application and the lender's requirements. Subject to approval and lender criteria.

Can I get a car repair loan with bad credit?

We work with lenders who assess your full financial picture, not just your credit score. A steady income and meeting responsible lending criteria can make a difference. Interest rates may be higher for lower credit profiles, but getting started can also help you rebuild your credit over time. All lending is subject to eligibility, lender criteria, and approval.

Do I need to know the exact repair cost before applying?

It helps to have a rough estimate or a quote from your mechanic before applying, as this will guide the loan amount you request. However, you can apply with an estimate and adjust as needed once you have a confirmed quote.

Is a car repair loan different from a personal loan?

A car repair loan is a type of personal loan used specifically for vehicle repair costs. The structure is similar - you borrow a set amount and repay it over time with interest — but the purpose is focused on getting your vehicle back on the road.
