Car Finance for Unexpected Repairs
Are you in need of car repairs but struggling to find a panel beater that will take your cash?
It’s a common problem in New Zealand, where many panel beaters earn top dollar from insurance companies and aren’t interested in small jobs. But what do you do when you can’t rely on insurance, don’t have a credit card, and can’t afford to drive without a warrant of fitness?
Crester’s Credit’s car repair loans are designed to help you get back on the road quickly and affordably. We understand that unexpected car repairs can be a significant expense, and not everyone has the cash on hand to cover them.
That’s where our innovative Smartcover finance comes in – it’s like insurance when you need it most. With pre-approved vehicle repair loans, you can have peace of mind knowing that you have the financial assistance you need to get your car fixed and back on the road.
Fix My Car Today
No more worries about how to fix my car.
One key point in New Zealand is the requirement for vehicles to obtain a Warrant of Fitness (WOF) every six months.
A WOF is a roadworthiness certificate that ensures a vehicle meets certain safety and emissions standards.
The frequent WOF inspections in New Zealand can be a financial burden on some car owners, especially those with older vehicles that are more likely to fail the inspection.
Failing Your WOF
Failing a WOF inspection can result in costly repairs to bring the vehicle up to standard. This is where car repair loans can be particularly helpful if the repairs are unexpected.
If you’re thinking I need to fix my car, think Crester Credit finance to cover the cost of repairs, new tyres or other necessary vehicle upgrades in the short term, with flexible repayment options over up to 48 months. We have competitive interest rates and car repair loans that can help ease the financial burden of maintaining a vehicle.
How Car Repair Loans Work
Vehicle repair loans work by using your car as security against the loan until the repayments are made in full. Crester Credit offers flexible repayment options, ranging from 13.95% to 26.98% interest rates and up to 36-48 months repayment terms.
You can use our car repair loan calculator to estimate repayment terms and ensure affordability.

Handy tips
Flexible payment options
The payment schedule for your loan can be adjusted based on your individual circumstances. You have the option to make payments weekly, fortnightly, or monthly, depending on what suits you best. Opting for a shorter payment term allows you to pay off the loan faster, which reduces interest charges. Alternatively, you can spread out the payments over a longer period, which can help you manage your cash flow and keep some liquid cash. To estimate repayment terms and affordability, use our online New Zealand car repair loan calculator.
