Your credit worthiness is a big deal!

I’ve Been There.

In 1993 I went through a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. I thought that no one had credit worse than mine until my dealership promoted me from car salesman to Finance Manager.

I worked in the automotive industry for fourteen long years holding positions a salesman, Finance Manager, and for many years, a Finance Director. Over time, I repaired my own credit and learned the inner workings of the credit system. This knowledge was very valuable in helping the customers of my dealership.
