You race down stark black pavement that’s drenched in a fresh coat of glossy rain. But that’s not all that glistens—your new car shimmers as you squeal around corners, swerve past neon-vested crossing guards, and come to a clean stop just as the final school bell rings—you’ve made it just in time for pick-up.
Your dream car shouldn’t be confined to fantasy. Whether you need a larger SUV to bus your family to the next tee-ball game or want to go green with an EV, selecting your ideal car—one that suits your specifications, budget, and aesthetics—can’t be done on a whim.
Fortunately, North Jersey Federal Credit Union, the best credit union in NJ, has made it easier than ever for members to find their dream car with our new product tool, Auto Link..
What Is Auto Link?
With Auto Link, our credit union members have free access to an impressive vehicle database where they can search for a new car, compare options, and obtain an affordable auto loan.
The convenient online service lets you browse an array of auto types, makes, and models without having to hop from dealership to dealership. With Auto Link, finding your dream car takes just six steps:
- Step 1: Discover – Before you begin, Auto Link provides educational materials about the do’s and don’ts of the car-buying process. Read free reports, view pictures and videos, and review your trade-in value. The Discover tab is especially helpful for first-time car buyers who might have questions or require some additional tips.
- Step 2: Finance – Looking for an auto loan near me? Members can access the Finance section to apply for loan pre-approval, review their credit score and credit report, or estimate the total cost of vehicle ownership.
- Step 3: Find a car – The digital database, which contains thousands of new and used vehicles, allows members to perform a generalized search by selecting desired condition, make, model, and zip code. From there, members can drill down even further into the little details. Want to see how it rides? The virtual test drive lets you take the car on a digital spin from the comfort of your sofa.
- Step 4: Research – How do you know you’re getting the best deal on your dream car? Auto Link provides several research tools that savvy car shoppers can use to get the facts, including:
- Price Curve Tool: See if each listing is fairly priced.
- Find Better Price tool: Search for a better deal on a similar vehicle.
- Free CARFAX™ reports: Review the vehicle history report.
- Step 5: Protect – Have you found your next car? Then you’ll need to protect it (and yourself) from liability with insurance. We can help you guard your investment with GAP insurance or an extended service contract.
- Step 6: Obtain ownership – Once you’ve acquired a loan and made the purchase, credit union members get access to a host of additional benefits, such as:
- Auto maintenance and travel discounts through a myEZ Car Care® membership
- 24/7 roadside assistance
