Editor's verdict
AutoPay's refi marketplace is the broadest in the industry. Loan terms up to 96 months and a 560 FICO floor mean you can almost always find a working offer, even if you started with a punishing dealer rate. The savings potential is highest here because dealer financing is usually the worst APR tier.

AutoPay (Refinance) FAQ
When does it make sense to refinance an auto loan?+
Three triggers usually justify a refinance: (1) your credit score has risen 50+ points since you bought the car, (2) market rates have dropped at least 1 point since you signed, or (3) you took dealer financing at a marked-up rate and 6+ months have passed. AutoPay's broad lender mix means any of these triggers usually produces a saved-money outcome.
Will refinancing extend my loan term?+
It can, but it doesn't have to. AutoPay lets you specify your target term during pre-qualification — if you want to keep your remaining term (say, 36 months left), you can. Drivers refinancing to lower payments often choose to extend; drivers refinancing to save interest typically keep the term the same or shorten it.
How quickly does AutoPay refinance close?+
Soft-pull pre-qualification takes 5 minutes. Once you pick an offer and submit the full application, expect 3–10 business days to fund. AutoPay's lender handles paying off your old lender and transferring the title in your state — you don't do anything except sign the new paperwork.
