Rebuild your credit

2nd Chance Auto Credit Quebec

Your 2nd Chance — We say yes

Your bad credit is not a barrier. At Prêt Auto Québec, we offer auto financing solutions for those seeking a 2nd chance. Even with a bankruptcy, late payments or a low score, you can get an auto loan and rebuild your credit.

What is 2nd chance credit?

A 2nd chance auto loan is auto financing designed for Quebecers whose credit file is imperfect. Rather than turning you down, our specialized lenders assess your current situation — stable income, residence and repayment capacity — to offer you a tailored 2nd chance auto loan. 2nd chance auto credit lets you get a vehicle while rebuilding your score: every on-time payment is reported to credit agencies and improves your file, giving you access to better rates in 2-3 years.

Situations accepted

  • Bankruptcy (2+ years after discharge)
  • Previous late payments
  • Low credit score (<600)
  • First car purchase
  • Previous insolvency

How it works

We work with a network of specialized lenders who accept higher-risk profiles. Your bad credit means:

  • ✓ Higher interest rate (normal)
  • ✓ Down payment possibly required
  • ✓ Slightly longer process
  • ✓ But approval is POSSIBLE!

2nd chance questions

How long after a bankruptcy can I apply for an auto loan?▼
Generally 2 years after your bankruptcy discharge. The longer you wait, the better your rate will be. We also have solutions for those with a more recent bankruptcy.
Will I get a better rate with a co-signer?▼
Yes! A co-signer with good credit significantly improves your application and can reduce your rate by 2-4%.
Does 2nd chance credit affect my credit score?▼
Short term: a 30-50 point drop when applying. Long term: your score improves with every on-time payment. It is an investment in your future credit.
Can I pay off my 2nd chance loan quickly?▼
Absolutely! Paying it off faster reduces interest and rebuilds your credit even faster. No early repayment penalty.
