Michael T.
Brisbane Southside
“Living in Mount Gravatt, I'd been looking at cars at Springwood dealerships for weeks. These guys found me a better car for $4,200 less and delivered it to my door.”

Jenny L.

“As a busy mum in Sunnybank Hills, I didn't have time to visit dealerships. They handled everything and even came to my place to hand over the keys. Absolute legends.”

Understanding Comparison Rates (What Banks Don't Tell You)
A 5% interest rate sounds great—until you discover $500 in hidden fees. That's why Australian law requires lenders to show a comparison rate: the true cost including fees and charges.
Example:
Loan A: 5% interest + $500 fees = Higher comparison rate
Loan B: 5.5% interest + $200 fees = Lower comparison rate (better deal!)
We always quote comparison rates so you know exactly what you're paying. No surprises, no hidden costs.
