Loan Protection

In addition to providing various financing options to ensure you get the auto loan that best matches your needs, we offer multiple ways to protect your investment. From loss of job or income to damage, repairs, and breakdowns — we’ve got you covered.

Most protection options can be financed right into your monthly auto loan payment and added even after you already have your First Northern loan!

You depend on your car.

But if big, unexpected repairs happen after your factory warranty expires, it can be costly—or even leave you without your vehicle. With First Northern's Mechanical Repair Coverage (MRC), we can help limit the costs of covered breakdowns.

With a plan, MRC pays the cost of parts and labor for any covered repair. You pay just the no- or low-cost deductible amount and drive away. Choose from our Platinum, Gold, or Sliver plan and pay upfront with one lump sum, or even finance it as part of your auto loan. Not only does coverage include maintenance service and parts including engine, transmission, brakes, steering, but it also includes:

  • Limit repair costs to your deductible, if any.
  • Choose your deductible1: $0, $100, $250 or $500
  • Substitute transportation up to $50/day for 5 days from day one, and an option to use ride share instead of a rental vehicle
  • 24-hour emergency roadside assistance offers up to $125 per occurrence which includes towing, fuel, oil, fluid and oil delivery service, lock out assistance, and battery assistance
  • Roadside extraction covers costs when extricating a vehicle from an inaccessible area within 50 feet of a paved road or highway
  • Shocks and struts coverage for Platinum coverage only
  • Travel expense reimbursement up to $200/day for 1-5 days for food, lodging, and transportation expenses2.
  • Good at any authorized repair facility in the US or Canada
  • No out-of-pocket expense except any deductible. Plan pays the repair facility.
  • Transferable to increase resale value. (Only if sold privately. Subject to transfer fee.)
  • Cancel for full refund within 60 days3

Did you know that if your new vehicle were totaled or stolen, your insurance company might not pay off your entire loan balance?

Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP) has you covered.

The value of a new vehicle rapidly declines during the first few years and your loan balance may be higher than the value of your vehicle. At a low, one-time cost that can be financed into your vehicle loan, GAP may reduce or eliminate the gap between what your vehicle insurance will pay and what you owe on your loan if your vehicle is deemed a total loss.

For only a few dollars more, enroll for GAP Plus! 

GAP Plus helps you get into your next vehicle by providing an additional $1,000 to help you purchase a replacement vehicle if you finance that car through First Northern.

Is GAP or GAP Plus coverage for you?

GAP or GAP Plus can even be added even after your loan is funded, by paying the fee upfront. Protect your investment today.
