Serving Lacombe Drivers

Lacombe's paycheques come from education, farming and forestry, and health care: that is how the Alberta Regional Dashboard describes the local workforce. Work like that is often salaried or on set schedules, which is simple for a lender to check. The county also has significant petrochemical activity, and about 350 more Lacombe residents leave town for work than come in. A steady paycheque with a credit report that took a hit is the kind of file we work with. Start with an online application; once we have reviewed it we phone you, and our own staff handle the long run up Highway 2, about 145 km from our Airdrie lot and well past Red Deer.

Buying from Lacombe? A good place to start is bad-credit car loans or in-house financing.

Lacombe Car Buying FAQs

I work in education or health care in Lacombe. Does steady employer pay help my application?

It can. Pay from a school division or a health employer lands on a regular schedule and is easy for a lender to confirm. If you work part-time or as a substitute, a longer run of pay stubs gives a lender a fuller picture than one slow month. A past proposal or collections can still affect the rate, and each lender makes its own call.

I drive out of Lacombe for shift work. Does that change how you work?

A little. We ask for your pay stubs and your shift pattern, because overtime and shift premiums change the number. We also talk about your daily kilometres on Highway 2, since a long commute changes which vehicle makes sense, what it costs in fuel and how often it needs service.

Lacombe is a long way from Airdrie. How does delivery work?

We plan it as one booked trip of about 145 km. Our own staff deliver it, and all the paperwork is done remotely. After your application is reviewed and you have chosen a vehicle, we settle on a day with you, and the inspection report is yours to read well before then. A video walk-around is available if you ask.

Which registry office can I use in Lacombe?

We can register the vehicle for you, so you don't need a trip to a registry office. If you would rather go yourself, Lacombe Registries, at #201, 5033 52 Street, offers motor-vehicle services, so plates and registration are handled in town. Registry agents also offer other services, so you may be able to sort out other paperwork on the same visit.
