The Watrous Mainline financing department is here to answer all your questions and guide you through getting a great new car loan.

As Banking Centre Managers, we look after three important tasks:

  • We are signing officers for GM Financial as well as many more Chartered Banks and Financial Institutions. Therefore, it is our obligation to ensure all financial arrangements have been completed in their entirety and that all available options have been thoroughly explained. For your convenience all the necessary finance and/or leasing paperwork is completed right here!
  • All applicable factory warranties are explained in full detail. Any additional programs or products you are entitled to, will also be reviewed so that you will be able to make informed decisions concerning your investment.
  • We will make sure all legal documentation is completed properly and in a timely manner giving you the opportunity to enjoy your new vehicle as soon as possible.
  • All these details will be handled for you in an effort to make sure all your needs are addressed on delivery as well as your entire ownership experience.
  • Additionally we have a large variety of accessories through our Parts Department such as mud flaps, box rails, step bars, bug screens, etc…to help you personalize your new ride!
