Three easy steps
A direct path from questions to a local review.
-
Answer 7 questions
Share the vehicle, income and financing details that help frame the situation.
-
Get the options reviewed
A local finance manager checks whether a plausible lender route exists before explaining the next step.
-
Choose a vehicle
If a route fits, review the vehicle and terms before deciding whether to continue.
A past event does not tell the whole story
The local team looks at the current file, not one label in isolation.
- Bankruptcy
- Consumer proposal
- New to Canada
- Divorce
- Repossession
One lender decision is not a verdict from the whole market. Qualification comes first; any lender submission comes later.
StartWhat we review first
Qualification is a structured review, not an approval. The team checks whether the information supports a plausible next step.
- Income source and stability
- Licence and Canadian status
- Recent bankruptcy, consumer proposal, repossession or missed payments
- A trade-in and any amount still owing
- Whether the full file suggests a plausible lender route
What this review means
Some situations need clarification and some may not fit a current route. No single answer, score or past event is treated as a promise of approval or an automatic rejection. The goal is to explain the next useful step before deciding whether and where an application should be submitted.

Verbatim Google reviews of the North York, ON store.
I had an amazing experience at Total Auto Sales. A pleasure dealing with people with integrity. Riyad was transparent through and was incredibly responsive. The owner Andre was a gentleman. I can't recommend this place more highly.
I bought a Ram 2500 and Ahmed was my sales rep. They carry quality vehicles and were great to deal with. Very professional, not the typical car sales experience of pushing to buy a bunch of add-ons. The vehicle was clean, certified with a fresh oil change and almost full tank of fuel. I would definitely go back. Picture is after driving on dirty roads.
I recently purchased a 2020 Audi A3 from total auto sales with the help of Mohid he took the time to thoroughly breakdown everything I need to know about the car, was transparent about pricing and answered all the questions I had with great knowledge. He genuinely was interested in helping find the best car for me. I appreciate all his help with everything. Mohid is great!!!
Questions people ask us
Who will call me?
One local Total Auto Sales finance manager will follow up about the questionnaire. It is not a call centre handoff, and the information is not sent to a list of unrelated callers.
Will I be rejected like I was at the bank?
We don't decide on a credit score alone. Bankruptcy, collections, no credit history, self-employment. These are the situations we work with every day. Answer a few questions and we'll be honest about whether you qualify to continue.
Can you promise I'll be approved?
No. Nobody can honestly promise that, and we won't pretend otherwise. What we can do is tell you the real requirements up front and look for a lender that works with situations like yours.
What if the monthly payment is more than I can handle?
We structure financing around what you can afford. Your budget comes first, then the vehicle. You won't be pushed into a payment that doesn't fit your life.
What actually happens to my application?
Three simple steps: you answer seven questions, our finance team reviews the file and looks for a lender route that fits, and we reach out with what we found. Nothing is submitted to a lender until you decide to go ahead.
Will applying hurt my credit score?
Answering the quiz does not check your credit. A credit check only happens later, and only with your explicit permission, once you decide to move forward.
I'm embarrassed about my credit.
You have nothing to explain. Plenty of Canadians are rebuilding after a job loss, a divorce, or a fresh start in a new country. This isn't about judging you. It's about how automated bank systems make decisions. We look at the whole picture.
Seven questions, then a straight answer
The local finance team reviews the whole situation, not only a score, and comes back to you about the next step.
