Auto Power Program - For New and Used Vehicles
If you want the flexibility to purchase a new or used vehicle at your convenience without the hassle of dealer financing, our Auto Power program allows you to shop at your leisure and make a deal on the spot. Auto Power provides you with a pre-approved check, up to a specific dollar amount, for the purchase of a vehicle from a licensed auto dealer. With an Auto Power check in hand, you can make the deal and drive away in your vehicle without ever going to a Credit Union branch!
Apply for a car loan online through Press Pass, by calling Member Services at (888) 732-8562 or by visiting your local branch.1
Note: Member Services offers Lending Services from 8:00 am – 9:00 pm (Eastern).

GAP Coverage
If your vehicle is subject to a total loss claim,10 the insurance settlement may not cover the outstanding loan balance. The insurance settlement is based on the actual cash value of your vehicle, not your outstanding loan balance. If you owe more on your auto loan than your primary insurance settlement pays, the difference creates a “gap” that you are responsible to cover out of pocket.
GAP (Guaranteed Asset Protection) coverage is an optional debt cancellation product that covers the difference between the insurance settlement amount and your outstanding loan balance.11 The Credit Union offers GAP coverage on new loan originations12 for a flat fee of $675.00.
- 90-day “free look” period13
- Eligible for new and used cars, light trucks, vans and SUVs14
- Maximum market value of the vehicle is $40,000 for a new vehicle and $30,000 for a used vehicle15
- Maximum claim benefit of $40,000
Auto Insurance
Collision and comprehensive insurance coverage with a maximum $1,000 deductible is required for the duration of the loan. We offer auto insurance through AAA Carolinas16 and can provide you with a quote.
