Does anyone know where I can find auto repair financing?

EasterBunny asked:


I have a lot of work that needs done on my car. Timing belt, water pump, gaskets, and more- all needs replaced. What is worse is I am still making payments on the car but the car is only warrantied in the city and state I bought it from and I no longer live in that city or state. I financed it from a small dealer who does his own financing and limited warranty- must take it to his shop. Well, now I live way to far from there.

I live in Washington (Seattle) now. My credit isn’t very good. I can come up with a portion of the repair costs but not all of it. I need to be able to make payments on the repair costs.

I found this website http://www.autorepairfinancingnetwork.com/ , but the website is for auto body shops and not customers and doesn’t offer a number to call or list of shops that accept it’s program. I tried calling their number and nobody answered. Their program sounded great for me and my needs. But I am at a loss for how to use it.

Anyone out there no what I should do or have any recommendations?
Jeff,

Thanks for the thought. But, I think you have to have good or at least decent credit to get Firestone credit. I looked into that. My credit isn’t good enough to get that. I already tried. Plus, I don’t think they do much of the work I need done. They focus on transmission, brakes, tires, oil, and filters. But, again, even if they did all auto repairs, my credit isn’t good enough to even bother trying to get financed through them. The program I mentioned in my initial “details” (see website listed) is exactly the kind of financing I need for my credit situation. The problem is finding an auto repair shop that accepts it and finding out how to apply for it. Or finding something similar to it where I am able to apply and so forth.

Thanks though..
