Get back on the road with a quick car repair loan
It’s hard to be prepared for an emergency, and if your car breaks down, it’s not unusual to become panicked. A Car Repair Loan, not to be mistaken with a car loan, is an emergency cash loan that is there for when disaster strikes, helping you get back on the road sooner.
If you’re facing urgent car repair expenses and need quick financial assistance, a car repair loan can help you get your vehicle back on the road faster. At Swoosh Finance, you can borrow up to $5,000 with a personal loan for car repairs, even with bad credit!

- $0 application fee (even if your application is not approved)
- Establishment Fee – $400 (included in the loan)
- PPSR and Security Check – $20 (included in loan)
Keep in mind that you may incur additional fees and charges each time you miss a payment, and this may affect the length of your loan.
Interest is calculated daily based on the outstanding balance and applied to your account. Interest rates are fixed for the loan term — so you know exactly what to expect. If a scheduled payment is missed or returned unpaid, we may issue a $39.95 debit dishonour fee.
Can I get a Car Repair Loan even with bad credit?
Yes, it is possible! We understand that bad credit isn’t always an indicator of where you’re at today, and we have an evaluation process that takes this into consideration.
For those who find themselves in a financially secure position after a history of bad credit, it can prove very difficult to secure a standard loan. So, by looking into the ‘here and now’ of your financial situation, we’re able to offer a bad credit loan to those who have been impacted by poor credit in the past.
We offer our loans after evaluating current bank statements, assessing whether you have the ability to repay the loan now, not one year ago or some other time in the past. This way, you can get an emergency car repair loan with bad credit, helping you back on the road.
