Before you borrow

Worth checking first
Shop payment plans
Many repair shops arrange instalments at no interest, particularly for larger jobs. Ask before you agree to the work.
Check warranty and recall coverage
Some repairs are covered by a manufacturer warranty, an extended warranty, or an open recall you were never notified about. Check the VIN against Transport Canada's recall database first.
These options cost less than borrowing. We list them because a loan is not always the right answer, even on a page about loans.

The repair-or-replace question comes first

Before borrowing, the arithmetic worth doing: if the repair costs more than half the vehicle's value and another major system is near end of life, financing the repair usually defers a larger decision by a few months at real cost.

If the vehicle is otherwise sound and the repair restores it, borrowing for a repair is far cheaper than replacing.

What repair borrowing looks like

Car repair sits in the everyday borrowing band. The average everyday request across all purposes is $495, and repairs cluster around common failures: brakes, tires, transmission service, timing components.

The reason this borrowing is urgent rather than planned is that for most people the vehicle is how they get to work. The cost of not repairing it compounds daily.

The cheaper options, first

Ask the shop. Many independent shops will split a repair across two or three payments, particularly for existing customers. It costs nothing and is rarely offered unprompted.

Manufacturer or extended warranty. Worth checking before paying, including on used purchases where coverage may have transferred.

Diagnostic before commitment. A second quote on a large repair frequently changes the number materially.

Borrowing for it

12 lenders in our network cover the typical repair range. 10 fund within 24 hours, which matters when the vehicle is off the road.

At smaller amounts, Bree and Nyble offer 0% advances, and for a repair under $750 that is usually the cheapest route available.

Do not borrow against the vehicle to repair the vehicle. A title loan secured on a car that needs work puts the asset at risk to fix the asset. An unsecured instalment loan at a capped rate is a better structure for the same money.

Common questions

Can I get a loan for car repairs with bad credit?

Yes. 12 lenders in our network approve below a 560 band.

How fast can I get funded?

10 lenders fund within 24 hours where income is verified through banking connection.

Should I use a credit card instead?

If you can clear it inside a billing cycle or two, often yes. Beyond that, a fixed instalment loan at a capped rate usually costs less and ends on a known date.

Is a car title loan a good way to pay for repairs?

It puts the vehicle at risk to repair the vehicle. An unsecured loan avoids that, and rates are capped at 35% APR either way.
