Finance Pre-Check
Check your finance path before you shop.
Start with a finance pre-check so your budget, down payment, vehicle type, and next documents are clear before you choose a car. Approvals, rates, payments, and terms are subject to lender review.
What a pre-check is
A low-stakes first step — not an application.
It's a short intake — not a credit application and not an approval. It helps us understand your budget and what next step may fit.
- What affects your options: income, down payment, the vehicle you choose, and lender fit matter more than any single number.
- What happens next: we review your intake and follow up with a clear next step. If a full credit application is needed, we'll route you through an approved secure process.
- Credit-rebuild friendly: credit challenges don't get hype here. We'll be straight about what's realistic.
Keep your data safe
Don't send sensitive documents (SIN, banking, ID) by regular text or email.
Documents you may need later — ID, proof of income, proof of residence — only when you reach the application step, through the secure method.
Approvals, rates, payments, and terms are subject to lender review.

Finance pre-check questions.
Do you guarantee approval?
No. Approvals, rates, payments, and terms are subject to lender review.
Will a pre-check hurt my credit?
A pre-check intake is not a credit pull. Any credit check happens later, with your consent, as part of an approved secure application step.
What credit score do I need?
There is no single cutoff. Income, down payment, and the vehicle you choose all matter more than any single number. We will be straight about what is realistic.
Can newcomers or self-employed buyers apply?
Often yes. We will review your situation honestly and explain the likely next step.
