Car Loan Balance Transfer and Top-up for bodywork

There is always a good feeling about driving a good-looking shiny car. However, given the traffic on the roads, maintaining it can be quite a challenge. Keeping the exterior of the car in great condition could be expensive. Fixing the odd dent, getting a ceramic coating to retain the shine, or re-painting the entire car – all can be quite a heavy expense on the pocket. Our car loan balance transfer and top-up covers the costs of essential bodywork repairs and replacements.

DENTING AND PAINTING

DENTING AND PAINTING

Dents and deep scratches can lead to corrosion and rust, which not only alter the way the car looks but also has an adequate impact on its depreciation. Repairing these issues can help increase the car’s trade value. Cover the heavy expenses of denting and painting with our car loan balance transfer and top-up.

REPAINTING AND VINYL WRAP

REPAINTING AND VINYL WRAP

The cost of re-painting or wrapping a car can vary based on the material used, the size of the car, and many other factors. If you use high-quality vinyl, the cost of giving your car a makeover can go up substantially. Give your car the look of your choice without burning a hole in your pocket.

CERAMIC COATING

CERAMIC COATING

Ceramic coating can help maintain the exterior paint of your car for a long time. It makes the surface shiny and scratch-resistant. Moreover, it also addresses the swirl marks on the surface of your paint caused due to dust. Give your used car the pampering that it deserves and get it to look as good as new.

BUFFING AND POLISHING

BUFFING AND POLISHING

Timely buffing and polishing of your car can help retain a swanky exterior. The cost of buffing and polishing a large or luxury car, such as an SUV, can be quite high and shake your finances. A car loan balance transfer and top-up allows you the flexibility of borrowing more to cover such additional expenses.

ENGINE DETAILING

ENGINE DETAILING

It is advisable to give your car a thorough deep clean once a year. Your engine bay is prone to attract a lot of dust and grime over time and it can hamper the smooth running of your car. A thorough cleaning and detailing of your car’s engine can be quite a heavy expense. Our car loan balance transfer and top-up can even cover costs such as these.

3 unique variants of our car loan balance transfer and top-up

  • Flexi Term Loan

    Let us say you have a Rs. 20 lakh loan with a 24-month repayment period. You made timely EMI payments for the first year. By this time, you must have repaid approximately Rs. 10 lakh plus interest.

    Now, you need an extra Rs. 5 lakh. All you have to do is withdraw the amount from your Flexi Term Loan account.

    Let us say you decided to pay off a certain amount of your debt after four more months, around Rs. 10 lakh. You can simply prepay in your Flexi Term Loan account.

    Interest is adjusted throughout, and you pay interest only on the remaining principal. Both the principal and the adjusted interest are included in your EMI.

  • Flexi Hybrid Loan

    This variant works just like the Flexi Term Loan. The only difference is that, for the initial period of the loan, your EMI will only consist of the applicable interest. For the subsequent period, the EMI will consist of both, the interest and principal components.

    Click here for a detailed description of how our Flexi Hybrid Loan works.

  • Term Loan

    This is like a regular top-up loan. You borrow a certain amount of money, which is divided into equated monthly instalments that consist of both, principal and the applicable interest.
