    My experience was great! Dinh Truong was a great person to work with. He explained step by step and didn’t leave me questioning anything. Birchwood got my application done swiftly and got me into a very nice car promptly. I look forward to dealing with Birchwood Credit in the future! Thank you!

    Being a newcomer, your credit history is null, not necessarily because you have had a bad history but because you simply do not exist in the credit system until you have been in the country for some time.  This is perfectly understood by Birchwood Credit and offers alternatives for us newcomers to Canada. In my case, I was advised in my language (Spanish) by Franz who speaks my language perfectly and also has unbeatable customer service.

    I’m not gonna lie, I had my reservations about dealing with a company that specializes in bad credit financing. Let’s face it, many companies get a bad rap because of their high interest rates and absurd terms. I was very surprised to have quite the opposite experience. Michael Downs is the gentleman I dealt with, he was super knowledgeable and walked me through the whole process. Thanks again!

    My experience at Birchwood Credit exceeded my expectations. Colin was more than helpful. He was kind, caring, and didn’t make me feel like he was just trying to make a sale. He went over my credit report with me and made some suggestions to raise my credit score. I wasn’t expecting to drive away in a new car on the first day of meeting him. I will be sending friends and family your way!

    This is my second time purchasing from Birchwood (Barry Krause). The process is always smooth with no pressure, and he is willing to work with me despite a difficult credit situation. The advice I received regarding my other credit problems has literally changed my day to day life. So much less pressure and a concrete plan to get back on track. My first vehicle was by far the best and I’m super happy with the vehicle I just purchased.
