You can find a complete list of what to bring on our How It Works page, but it typically includes proof of income, proof of residence, and a valid driver's license.
- Step 3: A Compassionate Review. This is where we shine. Unlike banks that rely on algorithms, our team conducts a personal review of every application. We consider factors like your job stability and income, not just your FICO score. We are experts in providing credit-challenged auto financing and look for reasons to approve you, not deny you.

Frequently Asked Questions About Used Car Approval
What documents do I need to get approved for a car loan in Mount Pleasant?
To ensure a speedy approval process, we typically ask for a valid South Carolina driver's license, your two most recent pay stubs or other proof of income, a recent utility bill or bank statement to verify your address, and a list of personal references. For a detailed list, please see our What to Bring page.
Can I still get approved for a car if I have a recent bankruptcy or repossession?
Absolutely. We understand that financial hardships happen. Our finance programs are specifically designed to help individuals who need a fresh start. We offer auto loans after bankruptcy and have options for those with a prior repossession. We focus on your current ability to pay, not just your past circumstances.
I have no credit history at all. Can you help me?
Yes, we can! We believe everyone deserves to start somewhere. Our no-credit car loans are perfect for first-time buyers or anyone new to credit. An auto loan from us is an excellent way to build a positive credit profile while driving a reliable vehicle.

Our goal is to provide quick auto loan approval. When you fill out our online application during business hours, our team gets to work right away. In many cases, we can provide a decision the very same day, allowing you to shop for your vehicle without any unnecessary delays.
How much of a down payment will I need for a used car?
Down payment requirements can vary based on the vehicle you choose and your individual application details. However, we are committed to making car ownership accessible and offer a variety of low down payment used cars. We also recommend using our Value My Trade tool, as trading in your current vehicle is a great way to cover your down payment.
