Auto Approve is an online marketplace of banks, credit unions and auto lenders that helps customers find refinancing and lease buyouts for cars, trucks, SUVs, motorcycles, RVs, boats and ATVs.
How does Auto Approve refinancing work?
Auto Approve’s loan applications are simple and straightforward. Auto Approve itself does not charge an application fee, though some of the lenders in its marketplace may charge one. If you're approved, a loan expert works with Auto Approve’s network of banks, finance companies and credit unions to find the right interest rate on your auto refinancing loan. The company states users save an average of over $100 per month.
How to apply for Auto Approve loans
Auto Approve has a straightforward application process. To apply, you need information on your current car loan amount, rate and term. You also need some specific personal documentation, including:
- Loan payoff statements
- Recent pay stubs or bank statements
- Driver’s license
- Proof of valid insurance
- Residence permit or proof of citizenship
Once you submit an application, it is reviewed by the lender. The specialist then quickly contacts you to let you know if your application is approved. Auto Approve partners with an extensive network of banks, finance companies and credit unions across the country, which allows them to provide details on the best available refinancing offers. The offer is valid for 30 days, so you can compare loan offers across other websites without losing your set rate.
Auto Approve fees
Auto Approve does not charge an application fee, and all refinance-related costs are included in the amount financed, so refinancing requires no out-of-pocket costs. However, if your current loan has prepayment penalties, you may be required to cover those costs. Your annual percentage rate (APR) will vary depending on your vehicle, loan terms and credit history. Your lender may also have its own fee structure once your new loan is established. Loan amounts, fees and costs differ by lender and state; these usually include admin fees, doc fees, DMV fees and title fees, depending on the lender and repayment term.

It was a horrible experience from beginning to the end. The agent keeping giving my info to 3rd parties and running my name for credit and other companies and dropped my credit score from 691 to 614. This is very unprofessional and it was illegal to keep giving my information out to the 3rd parties. I will never do business again here.
Jesus, thank you for providing feedback. Auto Approve does not sell or share any of our customers’ personal and private information. We use it exclusively for the purposes of refinancing. We only send it to our Lending Partner(s) for a firm offer of credit, however they are not “3rd parties”. We were unable to locate your account with the limited information available to us, however we would love the opportunity to address your concerns with you. Please reach out to us at info@autoapprove.com and someone will be happy to speak with you.
