Carfax

Buying a used car takes careful consideration. A Carfax Vehicle History report gives
you the information you need to make an informed buying decision. Carfax can tell
you if a car has ever been totaled, damaged from a flood, or had the odometer rolled
back. To receive your Carfax report contact a HRTFCU loan officer at (914) 526-4015.
AutoSMART

Searching for information on a specific car? We've got you covered. HRTFCU's CUDL AutoSMART program can help you find the best deal with your next purchase. Learn more about this valuable program by clicking here.
Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP)
You could lose more than your vehicle, boat or motorcycle if it is stolen or involved
in a major accident. You could lose your investment. Because most insurance policies
only cover the value of your vehicle - something that rapidly declines during the
first few years of ownership - your loan balance could be higher than the value
of your vehicle. GAP covers the difference between your vehicle’s value and the
amount you still owe essentially protecting you and your entire investment from
substantial loss. Call the credit union’s loan department for more information.
Mechanical Breakdown Protection (MBP)
HRTFCU is pleased to offer “Mechanical Breakdown Protection” to members financing
new or used vehicles. The protection provides coverage for vehicle mechanical and
electrical failures and also provides additional benefits such as 24-hour road assistance,
tire protection, rental assistance and trip interruption benefits. Choose the level
of coverage that best fits your needs. Ask about it when you are financing your
new or used vehicle.

credit history or you need to make a necessary purchase but don’t want to deplete
your savings.
