About Auto Finance Advantage

Welcome to Auto Finance Advantage (AFA) — Summerville’s trusted Buy Here Pay Here dealership. Located at 801 W 5th North St, Summerville, SC 29483, we’ve proudly served drivers across the Lowcountry for over 15 years. Our mission is simple: make car ownership easy, affordable, and stress-free for everyone, no matter your credit history.

Why Choose Auto Finance Advantage?

At AFA, we know that traditional car dealerships often make buying a vehicle stressful — especially if you’ve faced challenges with credit in the past. That’s why we do things differently. When you shop with us, you get guaranteed approval with no credit check. We believe that everyone deserves a safe, reliable car, and our job is to make sure you drive away happy.

Here are five key reasons drivers from Summerville, Charleston, North Charleston, Goose Creek, Mount Pleasant, Columbia, Savannah, and surrounding areas choose us:

1. Buy Here Pay Here – GUARANTEED APPROVAL

   • No credit? Bad credit? Previous repossession? At AFA, it doesn’t matter. With our in-house financing, you’re automatically approved. We cut out the banks and lenders that say “no” so we can say “yes.”

2. 100% Bumper-to-Bumper Warranty Included

   • Every vehicle we sell comes with a full bumper-to-bumper warranty. That means you don’t just drive off the lot — you drive with peace of mind. From the engine to the electronics, you’re covered.

3. Never Be Stuck – Switch Anytime

   • Life changes fast. Maybe your family grows, your commute changes, or you just want something different. At AFA, you’ll never feel stuck in the wrong car. You can switch vehicles anytime during your loan.

4. We Take Any Trade — Running or Not

   • Got a car that won’t start? Or an older vehicle you’ve been meaning to replace? We take any trade, no matter the condition. Whether it runs perfectly or not at all, we’ll give you credit toward your next car.

5. Family Owned & Operated for 15+ Years

   • As a locally owned business, we care about our neighbors. Our customers aren’t just numbers — they’re friends, family, and community members. For more than 15 years, we’ve built relationships across Summerville, Charleston, Goose Creek, and beyond.
