About Car-Lotta Credit


More than 20 years ago, Car-Lotta Credit was founded to solve a challenge most dealerships ignored: helping good people with bad credit get reliable transportation. Back then, traditional banks and car dealers had strict rules that left too many NEPA drivers stuck—so we became a licensed financial lender first, a dealership second. By focusing 100% on in-house approvals, we’ve served more than 25,000 customers, financing cars when other places couldn’t or wouldn’t.


Today, that same banking license means you get flexible terms, fast decisions, and honest support—because your past shouldn’t keep you from moving forward.
