Unfortunately, the Web is littered with thousands of sites offering loans, credit or credit card scams and promoting inaccurate, incomplete and downright fraudulent information. Before you use any service or information that you have discovered on the Web, it is vital that you understand who is giving the out the information and if it is correct.  So here it goes..

After finishing high school and my first year of college in Waukesha, Wisconsin, I decided to move to Phoenix, Arizona mostly to get away from the miserably cold winters.  I found a job working for an accountant while I continued going to college to get my bachelor degree in accounting.  After 2 years of pure boredom, I decided that accounting was not what I wanted to do for the rest of my life.  Since I wasn't making enough money working for the accountant, I was offered a part time job to be a bookkeeper for a small buy here pay here car lot.  After working there for a year, I realized that I wanted to stay working in the car business. I found a job working for a secondary auto finance company as a loan officer and then promoted to manager.  It was great to tell someone that they were approved for a car loan when no one else would give them one!   Unfortunately, while I was employed there, my credit started to go down hill due to circumstances out of my control. I quickly found myself in a similar situation as all of the people that I've helped get a car loan. 

I remember one day going to a car dealership because I wanted to test drive a car that I saw in the paper.  However, after giving them my information which they pulled my credit, they told me that I wouldn't be able to test drive any cars unless I had $5000.00 to put down.  I couldn't believe what the car salesman was telling me!!  I thought to myself since when did they start getting a down payment from a customer before they are allowed to test drive a car?  Of course, I told them I didn't but at that point even if I did, they could forget about even trying to sell me a car!! They made a bad mistake when they said that to me because as soon as I walked out of their dealership, I started telling everyone that I knew not to buy a car from them (that was 13 years ago) and guess what??  I still tell people today about how bad that dealership treats people! They just didn't lose one customer, they lost potentially hundreds of customers.  No matter what your credit looks like, you should be always be treated with respect. 

In 1996, the internet started to become a popular place for people to apply for a car loan.. It is easy, fast, and free!  Instead of spending hours at the car dealership to find out you can't get approved, filling out an application online was the way to go!! Who wants to explain their life story to every salesman in the world and end up getting treated like that!!  I decided to go work for an internet company that helped locate auto financing for people with bad credit. After working for them for several years, I decided to create my own web site.  I knew that with my knowledge and experience, I could provide the same service but offer information that many other websites don't provide.  

Much of the information you will read on this web-site comes from experience both personal and professional however if you can't find what you are looking for, please don't hesitate to email me at contactus@autoloanfinders.com.   It is so easy to be taken advantage of when trying to purchase a car especially when you have very few options but with a little knowledge can be worth a lot for FREE!
