What a car repair loan costs in Canada
Everywhere Loan Boys operates, the same two federal ceilings apply: 35% APR on instalment loans, fees included, and $14 per $100 on payday loans. Here is the most a lawful lender can charge to spread a repair bill over a few months:
Payments at the 35% APR maximum, calculated monthly. Many offers come in lower.
Ways to pay for a repair, compared
If you need the car to get to work, the goal is the lowest total cost with payments you can actually make. For most people with bad credit, that is an instalment loan over three to six months rather than a payday loan due in two weeks. Our guide to car repair loans with bad credit compares every option.
Before you borrow: get the estimate in writing
Ask the shop for a written, itemized estimate and borrow only that amount. In Ontario the law goes further: the final bill can't exceed the estimate by more than 10%, and repairs carry at least a 90-day or 5,000 km warranty (Government of Ontario). Other provinces protect you through their general consumer protection laws, so a written estimate is your best evidence everywhere. If the quote is high, a second opinion from another garage can save you hundreds.
What lenders look at when you apply from anywhere in Canada
Lenders in the Loan Boys network don't decide on your credit score alone. They look at five things you can check yourself before applying:
- Regular income. A job is easiest. Some lenders also count regular government deposits such as EI, CPP, the Canada Child Benefit or provincial assistance as income; others require employment income. The lender decides.
- Your bank account. An active Canadian account with regular deposits and few or no NSF (non-sufficient funds) charges in the last 90 days.
- Other short-term loans. An open payday loan lowers your odds, because a second lender is competing for the same paycheque.
- Stability. Six months or more at the same address and the same employer helps.
- The amount you ask for. $500 on a $2,400 monthly income is much easier to approve than $1,500 on the same income. Ask for the smallest amount that solves the problem.
Where Loan Boys serves drivers
Loan Boys serves Ontario, Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador. It does not serve Quebec, Prince Edward Island or the territories. Each province adds its own borrower protections:
How to apply from your province
- Have your phone, your income details and your bank information ready.
- Fill in one short online application. There is no hard credit check, so applying doesn't lower your score.
- Lenders in the network review the same application. Most decisions arrive within minutes during business hours.
- Read the offer: amount, APR, number of payments and payment dates. Accept only if the payments fit your budget.
- Once you accept, the money is usually sent by Interac e-Transfer, often the same day.
Loan Boys is a loan-matching service, not a lender. The lender who makes you an offer sets the rate, within the legal limits above. You must be 18 or older, live in the province and have a regular income.
