Why Our Financing Is So Strong
Big dealerships run applications through a system. We run them through people who know the lenders by name and won't take the first "no" as the final answer.
The owner works your deal
Every application is personally handled by Jay Alhadad or Brandon. Your file is never handed off to a call center or an algorithm.
Lenders compete for you
With 15 lenders to choose from, we only submit your application to the ones that fit your situation, then use our relationships to push for better terms.
Capital One Diamond Executive Dealer
We've held Capital One's Diamond Executive Dealer status for two years. It reflects the volume and quality of loans we place with them.
Every credit range
Excellent, fair, rebuilding, or no credit at all. We have lenders for each situation, and many approvals start with no money down.
We Welcome the "Too Hard" Applications
If you think your situation is too complicated, bring it to us. We've worked with a very wide range of situations and leave no stone unturned.
First-time buyers
Strong first-time buyer programs for people with no credit history yet.
Bad credit & rebuilding
Past repossessions, collections or low scores don't automatically mean no.
Self-employed
We know how to document 1099 and business income so lenders understand it.
Cash income
Work for cash or tips? We have lenders who work with that.
ITIN customers
No Social Security number? We finance ITIN customers too.
What you need
A source of income to pay for the vehicle, and a valid driver's license or state ID. That's our only minimum. Apply online.
How We Operate: Our Promise to You
- No hidden fees. The numbers we show you are the numbers you sign.
- No "bring money back later for taxes." Some dealerships do this. We don't.
- No post-dated checks for registration. Some dealers take a customer's check to register the car later, so the loan starts with extra debt. We never do.
- No buy here, pay here. We place you with a real lender that can help you build credit, never in a loan you can't escape.
- Only products that make sense for you. Putting 50% down? We won't push GAP coverage you don't need. That money stays in your pocket. And we don't sell paint protection or security etch at all.
- We never rush you. Ask every question. We'll take the time.
When you leave Royal Car Center, you have one commitment: your loan with the lender we found to give you the best terms, plus keeping your car maintained. We help with the second part too.
Low Down Payments. Only Products We Believe In.
Most of our customers want to keep their upfront costs as low as possible, so we build the deal around that. We look for the lowest down payment your lenders will approve, and many approvals start with no money down.
✓ What we offer
Extended warranties up to 10 years (depending on the vehicle; GWC Warranty, Allstate) and GAP coverage, available through many of our lending partners and recommended only when they protect you. Putting a large amount down? We'll tell you if GAP isn't worth it.
✗ What you won't find here
Paint protection, security etch and similar add-ons. Many dealerships use these products to raise their profit, but they offer customers little to no value. We don't sell products we don't believe in.
Why it matters
Every dollar of add-ons you don't need is a dollar added to your loan. Keeping the deal clean keeps your payment lower and your loan healthier from day one.
