At Sun Devil Auto, we understand that car troubles are stressful and figuring out how to budget for them can be even more stress inducing. Auto repairs can range in price from less than one hundred dollars up into the thousands. Most of the time, repairs are unexpected and don’t come at a convenient time.
Our desire at Sun Devil Auto is to help ease the anxieties that are associated with auto repairs and their accompanying costs in the Phoenix, AZ metro. That’s why we offer a wide-range of auto repair finance programs for customers.
While many shops may offer a standard credit card option for customers, we at Sun Devil Auto have two options for our customers to fit their budget. Each option can be used individually or together as needed. We’re here to help you get back on the road while keeping your budget in mind.
Auto Repair Financing Programs
Whether you have an excellent credit score or little to no credit, we have options to work with your financial situation. We know you work hard for your money and you have other bills to pay. Many of our financing options work on a payment schedule you prefer. This makes fitting the cost of repairs into your budget much easier and ensures you’ll still be able to get to work or school in reliable transportation.
Auto repair financing is easy when you’re with Sun Devil Auto. Our Store Managers can guide you through the process or you can apply for credit before you visit a service center. Sun Devil Auto proudly offers:
- Synchrony Car Care Card – A no-annual fee credit card accepted at all Sun Devil Auto locations and many gas stations. Approval is based on credit score. Credit is issued with a minimum credit line of $400 and a maximum approval of $3500. Synchrony offers 0% interest for 90 days on purchases less than $200, 6 months for purchases of $200 up to $750, and 1-year no interest on purchases over $750, to those who qualify.
- Sunbit – Flexible short-term loan option that allows purchasers to split repair costs with interest into multiple payments on terms you choose. Choose 3, 6, or 12 month terms at a fixed rate. Approval is based on a “soft credit check,” meaning applying won’t affect your credit score (credit score is only affected upon transaction). All that is needed to apply is a state-issued driver’s license, an email address, and a bank-issued debit card.
