Has anyone here actually used firestone financial?

You need financing to buy tires here or what?

[kai1836]

Yes, I am in need of tires and was interested in financing them. Have you ever done that? Perhaps buying used tires cheaper would be better, no?

I have gotten credit at Firestone to have my brakes done.  I'm not impressed with their work, but it was easy to get credit for auto repair.  I don't know if it's the same company tho.  My firestone credit line is managed through CFNA at www.cfna.com.

THE LOAN ARRANGER: Firestone Fills The Breach, Extending Credit To Bulk Operators

"...Firestone, though not a quite household name in bulk vending, is gaining popularity among operators working through the current credit crunch. The company, which boasts a history of more than four decades, has made a concentrated effort to address the needs of the bulk industry over the past several years. And this effort has increased as bulk operators have seen their sources of credit dry up..."

"The Lone Arranger"

That's pretty darn clever.

I don't consider myself timid in business dealings, but I'm not aggressive either.

Yet, the thought of financing/loans for growing a  bulk vending route scares the crap out of me.

I don't think I could do it...there are too many intangibles.

I think I'd rather just slow my growth than get into debt.

You sound like Dave Ramsey...good man!...One machine and one location at a time.

  I looked it over and decided against it. The application process and the interest rate scared me away.
