It's about freedom
If you believe the ads, having a car is about soft leather, a powerful engine, and a shiny coat of paint, but we believe car ownership is about something much more fundamental; it’s about freedom.
Having a car can mean the freedom to take a better job twenty miles from home instead of staying put because the public transit schedule makes that round trip more than three hours a day. It can be the freedom to take advantage of the savings power of buying groceries in bulk rather than only buying what you can carry on the walk home. And, yes, a car can mean the freedom of getting on the road to enjoy the open straightaways and hairpin turns of a cross-country road trip.
At Seattle Credit Union, we understand that your auto loan is more than just the money to buy a car. It’s also about making sure that your car stays on the road, so you can always take advantage of whatever type of freedom having a car means to you.
That’s why we offer add-on loan products, like GAP, Mechanical Breakdown Protection, and Debt Protection to help you keep your car and loan running if something unexpected happens. It’s also why we offer a rate discount for environmentally friendly cars, so you can take advantage of the freedoms of the car and still reduce your impact on the planet.
Whether you are buying or refinancing, we understand what having a car means, and we can help you find the sweet spot where loan, car, and support meet to give you the freedom to live your most prosperous financial life.

Protect Your Loan, Your Car, & Your Good Name
The world is unpredictable. We know that accidents happen, cars break down at the worst time, and illnesses spring up that can prevent you from working.

Ask one of our friendly auto loan experts about how to add one, two, or all three of these products to your loan by calling 855.575.9352
GAP Advantage
If your car is totaled in an accident, your insurance may not cover the entire balance of your loan, especially if your car is brand new. To make up the difference, we offer GAP Advantage coverage, which can cover whatever is left after your insurance company cuts their check.
Mechanical Breakdown Protection (MBP)
MBP, also called Extended Warranty, can enhance and even replace the original manufacturer’s warranty and can cover breakdowns and repairs, so you don’t have to stretch your budget when your car is in the shop.
Debt Protection
If you get hurt or get sick and can’t work, the last thing you may think about is your car payment. Debt Protection makes sure you don’t have to worry about it. When you are laid up for an extended period of time, Debt Protection can cover your payment until you are back up and around and able to return to work. Some plans can even cover periods of involuntary unemployment.
