In just a few minutes, you can apply and save hundreds – possibly thousands – of dollars over the life of your car loan. So, if have a high APR and want to lower payments, we've oversimplified the process to help you do it.

  1. Complete our short, secure online application. Click here.

    Please note: If you submit your application during the hours of Monday - Friday, 9AM - 5PM PST, a Loan Specialist will contact you with a decision within 2 hours. If your application is submitted outside normal business hours, you will be contacted the following business day.

  2. Once your application is approved, have the following information readily available:
    • Name(s) on Loan
    • Name(s) on Title
    • Year, Make, Model, Class
    • VIN#
    • Exact Mileage
    • Current Lien Holder
    • Account Number
    • Lien Holder Phone #
    • Additional equipment in the vehicle: (E.g. transmission type, 2/4-door, short/long-bed, CD player/changer, running boards, cruise control, power windows/door locks/mirrors/seats, rack, tilt wheel, etc.)

  3. Next, to expedite the process, have a copy of your driver's license, 3 personal references, car insurance, car registration, and/or original lease contract (if applicable), ready to fax to the loan specialist.

  4. Then, after speaking with a specialist, you'll be sent documents that must be returned with your signature. Once these documents are received by the lender, a payoff check will be sent to your existing lien holder.

  5. Finally, once the check clears and title is obtained, the auto refinance process is complete.

It's that easy. Five steps to a better auto loan. So, if you're ready to refinance, click here to apply online and let Harbor Credit save you money!
