Handy Auto Loan Resources
Great Lakes CU offers borrowers in and around Chicago, IL a variety of products and services to make the most out of your used car loan. Here are some options once your loan is approved and you've bought your vehicle.
GAP Insurance
In the unfortunate event your car is badly damaged or totaled, this insurance will cover the difference between what you still owe on your car and what your primary auto insurance company will pay. So you'll be off the hook.
Similar to an extended warranty from a dealership, this protection will usually cost you less and may offer better coverage for repairs on eligible used vehicles. Enjoy the peace of mind that comes with added coverage.
