Whether or not you need auto refinance really depends upon two things. Whether you wish to save money and whether you want to reduce your monthly payments.
Auto refinance can save you money in two simple ways. If interest rates have fallen in general then you can use auto refinance to lock in that new lower level. This will mean that your monthly payments will fall because you are paying less in interest each month.
It is also true that your credit rating might have changed in the months or years since you took out the original loan on your car. In fact, the very point that you have been paying an auto loan for some months or years will (in the absence of any other factors), improve your credit rating. This will mean that by using auto refinance with your new, better, credit rating you will be able to secure a lower interest rate. This will, as with the above lower interest rates in general, save you money because you will be paying less in interest over the life of the loan.
The third way that auto refinance can help is in reducing your monthly payments by extending the life of the loan. Your original auto loan was probably for three years and you’ll have paid some of that off: an auto refinance would also probably be for three years: but for a smaller amount, so while the loan will last longer, each monthly payment will be smaller.
