Common Questions
Can I get a car with a learner's license?
Yes! In Calgary, we have lenders who work specifically with Class 7 learners. You can buy the car now and practice in your own vehicle.
Do I need winter tires included?
We highly recommend them for Calgary winters. We can often finance a winter tire package directly into your auto loan so you are safe on Deerfoot Trail from day one.
What if I'm new to Canada?
Welcome! Our "New to Canada" program works similarly to our First-Time Buyer program. As long as you have work eligibility and income, we can help.
How fast can I get my car?
Fast! Many approvals happen same-day. If the vehicle is ready, you could be driving home to Tuscany, Evanston, or deep South Calgary within 24-48 hours.
