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.

Common questions

How much do common car repairs cost in Canada?

A brake job typically runs several hundred dollars, a transmission replacement several thousand, and an engine rebuild more again. Get a written quote before arranging financing, and a second quote if the figure is large: repair estimates vary widely between shops for identical work.

Should I finance a repair or replace the car?

Compare the repair cost against the vehicle's current value and its remaining useful life. A $4,000 repair on a car worth $5,000 rarely makes sense; the same repair on a car worth $18,000 usually does. If the repair approaches half the vehicle's value, price an auto loan on a replacement before committing.

What are the cheaper alternatives?

Many shops offer their own payment plans at no interest, and some carry manufacturer or warranty coverage you may not have claimed. Ask both questions before applying for a loan.
