Among the great benefits of being a SESLOC member-owner is the auto buying program. With tools like AutoSMART and getting pre-approved for a SESLOC auto loan before going to the dealership gives them the confidence to find the perfect car, truck, or van.

Now, SESLOC is making the experience even better for members shopping for a new auto across the Central Coast with the Preferred Dealer Program. The program was recently expanded to now include more than 40 dealers in Northern Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties, where members can get a streamlined experience, saving them time.

Our member-owners can enjoy shopping for a new vehicle from start to finish by working with a SESLOC Preferred Dealer. Starting with getting pre-approved for a SESLOC auto loan online or in branch, members can shop with confidence with our esteemed Preferred Dealerships, recognized for consistently delivering great experiences and excellent value for SESLOC Members. And when members are pre-approved for SESLOC auto loan, they are already in the dealer’s system – meaning they could drive home in a new or used vehicle on the same day!

The Preferred Dealer Program is just one way SESLOC is making the auto shopping process easier. With AutoSMART, members can do research on hundreds of different makes, models, and trim levels to find the right vehicle for their needs. From there, they can find their local Preferred Dealer that has their vehicle in stock and start the process from the comfort of their home. And with our quick online auto loan application, getting pre-approved for a loan is easy – just fill out the form and get your offer within minutes.

At SESLOC, Members Save. With the Preferred Dealer network and AutoSMART, members save time, money and get satisfaction faster when shopping for a new or used vehicle. Be sure to check out the list of Preferred Dealers and find one near you.
