How it works

From a few questions to your keys

We look at your profile the way lenders do, find the one dealer most likely to approve you, and send them your details, only them.

Step 01

Complete your profile

Three minutes, vehicle, credit situation, income, down payment, and trade-in. The details lenders actually care about.

Step 02

We score you like a lender

We build your Approval Match Score, the same picture a finance manager sees when they pull your file. No surprises.

Step 03

One dealer, matched to you

Your profile goes to one dealership, the one most likely to approve your exact situation. Not five. Not ten. One.

Step 04

Drive away approved

A local finance manager contacts you already knowing your profile fits. Faster, cleaner, far less stressful.

Why DealerLends

One match, never a free-for-all.

Most sites sell your info to five dealers at once, then your phone won't stop ringing. We do the opposite: we pick the single dealer most likely to approve you, and send your details to them alone.

One lead. One dealer.Your application goes to one matched dealer only, no competing calls, no spam.

Scored, not just submittedWe evaluate income, employment, down payment, and credit, the way lenders do.

Deeper profile, better matchWe ask about bankruptcy history, trade-ins, and payment targets, details most sites skip.

100% on your sideNo quotas, no pressure. We win when you get approved at a rate that works for you.

We know the lenders' playbook

We know every way to get you approved

Lenders run special programs most people never hear about. We know them all , and which one fits you. Often that's the difference between a no and a yes.

Certified used-car deals

Buying a certified used car can unlock lower rates and easier approvals. We know which lenders offer them, and which cars qualify.

Manufacturer rate discounts

Car makers sometimes quietly drop interest rates on certain models. We know when those deals are live and how to get you one.

First car, no credit?

No credit history is fine. Several lenders have programs built for first-time buyers that look past your score.

New to Canada?

No Canadian credit yet? Some lenders approve newcomers using your job, your visa, and credit from back home instead.

When we match you to a dealer, we already know which programs their lender partners run, and how to position your profile to qualify for the best one available.

Our story

For over a decade, we've helped people see their credit the way lenders do.

DealerLends started with a simple frustration: most people have no idea what their credit actually looks like on a lender's screen, so they walk in blind, accept whatever rate they're handed, and overpay for years.

We're finance people who got tired of watching good drivers get the worst deals. Our mission is to demystify credit, to sit on your side of the table, explain exactly how lenders read your file, and use that to get you the strongest approval possible.

From declined twice to driving, in 72 hours

How a 561 credit score, a trade-in, and the right dealer match changed everything.

9.99%

APR approved

Daniel, 29, MississaugaWarehouse supervisor · 2021 Honda CR-V

APPROVED · 9.99% APR

Daniel had been a warehouse supervisor for two years, steady paycheques, no missed rent, no new debt. But a breakup two years earlier had wrecked his finances. His Equifax score sat at 561. His bank turned him down outright. A dealership on Dixie Road approved him, but at a rate that would have cost him over $11,000 in interest over 72 months on a 2019 with 98,000 km.

He filled out a DealerLends profile on a Tuesday night. We scored his file the way a lender does, strong income ($4,100/mo), a trade-in worth around $4,500, and 26 months at the same employer. On paper, he was a far better applicant than his score suggested.

“I didn't even know there were lenders who looked at your job history and not just your score. The dealer called me Thursday morning and I was driving by Friday afternoon.”

We matched him exclusively to a Mississauga dealer with a lender relationship built for his exact profile. Approved at 9.99% APR on a certified 2021 Honda CR-V with 41,000 km, saving him $5,200 in interest versus the offer he nearly accepted.

Your questions, answered

Is my information safe? Yes, here's how.

Handing your details to a website should feel safe. Here's exactly how we protect them, who sees them, and what to expect.

Is my information safe?

Yes. Everything you enter is sent over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection and stored securely. We only ever share your details with the one local dealership we match you to. We never sell your information or post it to a list that multiple dealers can buy.

Who actually sees my information?

Only DealerLends and the single dealership matched to you. Unlike shared-lead websites, we never blast your details out to a dozen dealers, so you won't get buried in calls from people you never reached out to.

Will applying hurt my credit score?

No. Submitting your profile is a soft step, there is no hard credit-bureau inquiry, so it has zero impact on your score. A hard pull only happens later, and only if you choose to formally apply at the dealership.

Do you ever ask for my SIN or banking passwords?

Never. We do not need your Social Insurance Number, online-banking login, or any passwords to match you with a dealer. If anyone claiming to be DealerLends asks for those, it is not us, please walk away.

Will I get spammed with calls and texts?

No. You hear from one matched dealership, not ten. You are only contacted about the request you sent us, and you can reply STOP to opt out of texts at any time.

Is DealerLends really free?

Yes, it is 100% free for car buyers and there is no obligation. Dealerships pay us when we match them a buyer, so you never pay a cent to use the service.

What do you do with my information?

We use it for one purpose: to score your profile the way a lender would and match you to the dealership most likely to approve you. We do not sell it or use it for anything else. The full details are in our Privacy Policy.

Can I get a car loan with bad credit?

Yes. We work with GTA dealerships that finance every credit situation, prime, subprime, rebuilding, newcomer, and no credit at all. There is no wrong answer on the form; it simply helps us match you to the right store.

Can I get approved after a bankruptcy or consumer proposal?

Often, yes. We work with lenders who specialize in post-bankruptcy and active-proposal financing. A discharged bankruptcy, or an active proposal with written trustee consent, typically qualifies with some money down and steady income.

How long does it take?

The form takes about 3 minutes. You are matched right away, and a local finance manager usually reaches out the same day. Many buyers are driving within the week.
