There is nothing more frustrating than spending hours researching your next vehicle, walking into a dealership, and leaving with nothing but a "no" from the finance department. If you’ve visited a few places and keep hitting a brick wall, it’s easy to feel discouraged.
But down here at Redwater Dodge, with Rig Ready Approves, Jarod and Adrian have some excellent news for you: We are ready to say YES.
At Rig Ready Approves, we don’t think a few bumps in the road should keep you from driving a safe, reliable vehicle.

Saying "yes" doesn't mean you have to compromise on what you drive. We offer an incredible selection of hundreds of vehicles to choose from.
Stop collecting rejections and start shopping for the vehicle you actually want. Jarod, Adrian, and the whole team are ready to help you get down the road.

Q1. What exactly is the Rig Ready Approves program?
A1. Rig Ready Approves is a specialized vehicle financing program run through the finance centre at Redwater Dodge. It is designed specifically to help Albertans who are struggling to get traditional auto loans. Whether you have bad credit, no credit, are self-employed, or have been turned down by other dealerships, our team works to find a solution and say YES.
Q2. Can I really get approved if other dealerships have turned me down?
A2. Yes, absolutely. Many traditional lenders look strictly at a credit score number and make an instant decision. We do things differently. We look at your whole financial picture to build a tailored plan. Because we have strong relationships with a massive network of Canadian lenders, we can secure approvals that other shops simply can’t.
Q3. What kind of vehicle inventory do I have to choose from?
A3. You aren't restricted to a small "bargain lot" of old vehicles. The program gives you access to hundreds of cars, trucks, and SUVs.
Q4. Do I need a massive down payment to get started?
A4. Not necessarily! While a down payment can sometimes help lower your monthly obligations, we work with many lenders who offer zero-down payment options. Your dedicated finance specialist will walk you through the options that best fit your budget.
Q5. How long does the approval process take?
A5. We know you want to get on the road quickly. Our online application takes less than two minutes to fill out. In most cases, Jarod, Adrian, or one of our finance experts will get back to you with an update the very same day.
Q6. Do I have to live in Redwater to apply?
A6. Not at all! While our physical dealership is located in Redwater, Alberta, the Rig Ready Approves program helps drivers from all over the province, including Edmonton, Fort McMurray, Calgary, and rural communities. We can even arrange vehicle delivery straight to your door.
