Getting car financing is one of the least enjoyable parts of buying a vehicle, but it can become a lot less stressful when you go to the Chevy dealership for a loan. When you get financing at the dealer, you’ll find the process is streamlined, and you always have somebody by your side if you have questions.

1. It’s Time-Saving

Financing a car at your dealership saves you time. First of all, the dealer sends your application to multiple lenders, so there’s no need to shop around on your own. Second of all, it’s a one-stop-shopping experience; you can sell your old ride, get a new one, and deal with financing in one location.


2. It’s Assisted

At the dealer, you don’t need to navigate the car-buying and loan application process alone. You can talk to someone at the dealership’s finance department if you need help with your application, and your dealer can even help you learn the eligibility requirements if you’re looking for a loan for a used vehicle.


3. It’s Accessible

People with low credit scores often struggle to get a loan at a bank or credit union. However, it’s typically easier to get a loan at the dealer than it is at a bank or credit union if you have a lower credit score, making buying a car more accessible for everybody.


4. It’s a Money-Saver

People with excellent credit scores may save money by getting financing at the dealer. Dealers sometimes run special promotions where qualified car buyers can get financing with little to no interest on the loan, therefore saving you money if you qualify for one of these offers.


5. It’s Almost Limitless

When you finance a vehicle at your car dealer, you can buy pretty much any car on the lot as long as it’s within your budget. That’s not always the case when you finance at a bank or credit union, as those institutions often work with specific dealers that you’ll have to buy your car from if you want to get the loan. This can limit your choices significantly, as those dealers might not have the car you want.


6. It’s Streamlined

Getting preapproved for a loan streamlines the car-buying process. It makes it easy to go to the dealership, pick out a car, then sign the paperwork. Financing a car through other lenders isn’t always streamlined, and sometimes banks and credit unions don’t offer preapproval unless you already know what car you want, which can cause delays in the process.
