  136. Extremely accommodating until you Actually purchase a vehicle… Then “you’re on your own”! Interest rates are absolutely too high and you’ll end up paying double the price of the vehicle! And Noone wants to speak with you about rectifying anything! Buyers Beware!

  137. Great Finance Company!!! I have had nothing but excellent services..If you are honest about your situation, they will work with you.. They helped me a few times when things got rough.. I am grateful for this company.

  138. This has to be one of the worst financial corporations ever. I recently come to find out that I had id theft/fraud against my name and social. I filed a police report and placed a freeze on my credit. The credit agencies have said because …

  139. Due to covid outbreak I was unemployed and on ui benefits to budget my monthly bills I was left with the decision to either keep a roof over my family’s head or a car sitting in my driveway which mind you my insurance payments were through …

  140. They never answer your phone calls, if they do they’ll hang up almost immediately. Their customer service is no help. Westlake financial institution has been the worst financing agency that I have ever been through. If I could rate lower than one star I definitely would.

  141. If I could give this company 0 stars, I most certainly would do so because this company is a joke! They’ve been sending me thru the ringer. …

  142. One star is way to generous! Please do not use them! They have people who tell you different things so no one really knows whats going on. Have no fear the manager will apologize for their lack of knowledge. We are trying tonpull the loan …

  143. This company is the financial institution on the planet. They shouldn’t be in business. They make you jump thru hoops for nothing. The verification process is the dumbest thing a human should have to go threw. Never in my life would I recommend this bank to do anything for anyone period.

  144. Worst bank EVER . They bother you NON STOP. Even when you pay your payment the same night, never are updated with other sections of the bank. Act like they don’t know what you’re talking about. And oh you’re in a bind and wanna move you …

  145. I do t know what’s going on with their phone customer service. I usually call, and someone really nice always pick up and is able to review all my information with my I called today , and the phone system doesn’t work and when it transfer you to speak with a live rep, no one answers. It’s so weird.

  146. My experience with Westlake was the worst I’ve ever dealt with at any bank (after our first rep left). After the customer cleared all stipulations, the bank still demanded a repo. Their reason: they pulled the credit, again, and then they …

  147. This is the worst financial company I’ve ever did business with. First customer service is clueless and do not listen. Second I had my car repo for $100.00. Now I am paying $99 extra a month for repossessions fees until I pay off the car. That means I will be paying $7000.00 more on my loan. Do not get a loan with this place.

  148. I would give this company 5 stars, but I’m pretty dissapointed. Westlake financed my car loan for a year 2013 VW about 4 years ago. I’ve had nonstop on-time payments. Never been behind and sometimes pay more than my monthly payment due to …

  149. The absolute worst lending company. When I payed my car off with them, they never sent me the title to my vehicle. Despite my multiple calls to have them send it to me. Every time they gave me a different excuse as to why I haven’t received …

  150. Absolutely the worst experience I EVER had with a loan company it was son first time buying a car they gave him the run around and after he had the car for 4 months the y threaten to repo because they couldn’t verify his job after the …

  151. Reymark in customer service was helpful and knowledgeable during our call today. Some of the reviews are horrible and discouraging for a new customer like myself. I appreciate the heads up and plan to make timely payments in order to avoid these horrific experiences shared by others.

  154. I financed through Westlake and if I had it to do all over again I would have never chose them. Bought our car March 7th of this year. Made every payment on time. A week ago they repoed my car saying they haven’t received 2 payment. …

  155. Financed my cargo van through them in July 2018. Just paid the van off last month and received my title in the mail within a few weeks. Never had an issue with this company for any reason. The interest rate was a tad high but at that time my credit wasn’t stellar either. Make your payment on time and it’ll be smooth sailing.

  156. No stars for this company. My husbands car was repoed over ONE missed payment after making payments on this scam for over 4 years. Its disrespetful and criminal. I am at a lost for words for the heartlessness and greed of this company. As a …

  157. Paolo Fernando was very nice. He explained how extensions work when it comes to your principal and interest. Now I am more aware on how that works and understand the way they do so. Thank you Paolo Fernando for taking the time to explain. You have great customer service. 10 out of 10.

  158. My father passed away and I was trying to settle his account. I was first told they would talk to me after sending in a death certificate and my driver’s license. After doing that I called again because I had not heard from them and they …

  160. I feel sorry for anyone who unfortunately winds up with them. My loan got switched over to them and they are the worst. Their representatives are horrible rude and not knowledgeable. I sold my car to Carmax even though I’m still paying …

  161. I’m barely going to spend a month with this bank. and I have a suspicion that this is Scam. All the people who answer give wrong information. the emails they provide don’t even exist. no one answers anything. Nothing they say makes sense. …

  162. I cannot wait to trade this vehicle in because this is the worst finance company I’ve ever come across..
    a representative just told me that because it’s a high vol of calls – the lines …

  164. I financed a loan through this company and the employees are ridiculous. They lied to our dealership we are doing business with and they are no help. I feel that you have poor customer service and are not a company that wants to work with …

  165. The worst companie ive ever dealt with my entire life. I was scammed from both them and the dealer where i purchased the car. They would not respect the contract and tell you that they dont care and that its gonna be like that. They work …

  167. Horrible experience every time! Worst customer service that will lie on the phone without any intention of helping. Playing dumb about how to access Electronic Titles and refused to release car title after it was fully paid – trying to …

    Worst customer service I’ve ever dealt with. They are so rude. The only consistent thing about them is they will hang up on you! Not sure how they haven’t been …

  169. Worst place ever to deal with. Customer service reps are rude and unhelpful, they call and harass you multiple times a day even BEFORE your due date for a payment. We’ve always paid 2-3 days early but they call even earlier than that asking …

  170. Westlake financial is a literal joke. I made my payment in full and they still reposed my vehicle then i spoke with a supervisor who agreed my car was taken at no fault of my own and would be delivered back to. That was a lie they had my …

  171. Very bad customer service. People, who are working in customer service, live far from US. I try to extend my payment for 2 weeks, they sent me confirmation, but on due date I received notice, I missed payment. I call them again and they …

  172. Ariel C. was a FANTASTIC rep!! So friendly and helpful and made my call so effortless. I hate calling any call centers but he made it easy. I wish all call reps were as great as him!

  177. This is the worst place to have a auto loan though. Customers service is at. 0 if they had a rating of a half of star they wouldn’t even get that. My wife was asking simple questions about a tow and she was only 60 days behind. Made a …

  178. Katya C was amazing regarding my issues and questions I had with my account she was very professional and understanding and answered all my questions. But the previous representative “Shamika W “and her supervisor” Pablo C “. Very rude …

  190. I bought my first vehicle on my own with them, and they were the only ones who approved me. I happened to have a ton of cash at the time and paid off the loan quick as shht, but I’m glad they had no early payment penalty. They were the only …

  191. Amazing…paid off my car in July. Trying to do some other financial business in September. Credit report says the loan still shows active after 60 days. Called WFS and was told, sorry that is our policy. Takes 30-90 days to get reported. Not acceptable. If I made a late payment, it would show in two weeks. Terrible company!

  192. Have had nothing but issues ever since I was approved for my car loan through Westlake. Whenever I get the chance I’m going to switch my loan companies. Highly suggest you look more into who you’re approved by before going with them. Thanks for making my life miserable this past year.

  193. I used to recommend this company to my friends but as of lately absolutely not. The customer service is not consistent and each of them tell you something different. I’ve had a few changes this year including starting a new job with a new …

  197. Great customer service and great rates. They are a subprime lender but do a great job. They are well known at the dealerships, so you can be confident the finance dept at the cars sales know of them and use them frequently. Shop with …

  198. My customer service representative today was Ariel C. He was very professional & kindhearted with my service. He was helpful, patient & understanding with swift handling. I highly appreciate Ariel’s good demeanor & willingness to help. He deserves 10 stars out of 5 & I hope to speak with him further

  199. Please stay away from this company. One of the worst. I co sign for my son car with this company and his car was total. And we had gap insurance through them. My insurance pay 15,000 and the balance was 403 and they calling saying gap will …

  200. I received excellent customer service from Noemi Lizbeth with Westlake Financial. I really appreciate how quickly she resolved my situation and handled updating my account. I’m grateful to be a customer to such a good group of people.

  201. These people are absolute TRASH. 95% of the time their online system to make a payment doesn’t work. We had a return payment because they claim the “cvv number didn’t match up”, on the same card we had continued making payments on for the …

  202. I have had a very bad experience with this financial services company.
    First, this company falsely reported my credit. My loan was paid off with a check in June 2022 and the company reported that I made a late payment in June and …

  203. Got 6 calls within 3 hours from a New Jersey number.(thinking it was a scam call since NO VOICEMAIL was left) Finally picked up on the 7th call of the day. It was Westlake! Which I thought they were based in Los Angeles? So why would …

  204. Got my 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander in 2019 and was in awe that they would have even approved me. I did not have bad credit but just not enough and they trusted me regardless. I have fell on hard times and they have always given me a solution …

  205. Terrible customer service. I sought help after having issues with covid and was told that best they could do was push a payment 12 days. No other assistance offered. “I dont qualify” despite missing two weeks of work and recieving zero pay …

  206. I’ve been working with Garland for the past week with my account. He has been so professional, nice, and knowledgeable about what’s going on with my account. He has been great in answering any questions that I’ve had and/or finding the …

  207. This is the WORST place to finance a car. After my car was paid off in FULL. They never sent my title AND they kept the lien on my car and now that my car has been totaled, I have to wait 7-10 business days for them to release something …

  208. Wish I could give them zero stars. Worst auto loan company I have ever dealt with. Purchased a warranty from them for $1300, when car broke down two months after I bought it, they lied and said the car had rust and denied my claim because …

  209. Been dealing with them for 3 years and their customer service is the worst. Only time they’re great is when it has to do with payments. Any type of other help even requesting your title is nearly impossible. Going on 2 months waiting to …

  211. Nothing but a GREAT experience with Westlake Financial. I financed my daughter’s car with them and from beginning until payoff I had nothing but excellent customer service. My most memorable was Jaime. There was a small hiccup at payoff and …

  212. We had a truck loan through this company and one day I received a call from them, thinking it was to discuss the overage that was paid between what the dealership paid them when we traded our truck in and what was actually owed. Instead, …

  213. I am beyond disappointed with the “customer service” they provide. When I have called it’s rare that you’re fortunate to get a polite representative. The times I was actually able to reach a pleasant rep they gave me wrong information… this …

  214. Absolutely terrible experience. Anyone considering using them for anything, reconsider. Worst finance company I’ve ever had the displeasure to deal with. They will call your phone 100s of times a month if a payment is late. They give …

  215. I wish I could give them a negative score. This company needs to get organized. I can never get through to Oscar Martinez, who called me, about my pre-approval because his number doesn’t work. If you try calling the main number don’t expect …

  216. Disorganized finance company. Do not recommend for any business needs. I worked 4 years in various financial firms and this one sticks out like a sore thumb in the way they handle clients. If you plan or have to get a loan with them, pay it …

  217. Cesar M, my contact for today was very helpful. He helped with setting up a payment arrangement. He explained it was a on time payment and he was able to schedule on the day my husband receives his pay check. He was very patient and courteous. Thank again Cesar. He makes my experience with Westlake a memorable one.

  220. Buyer beware. Fell on hard times got 1 month and 1 week behind I was in contact with them every single day because they called 3 times a day. They towed the truck used rapid repo which is even more shady than this company! Over a week of paid up and still can’t get the vehicle back. Never again

  222. WORST LOAN COMPANY AND TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! also, good luck on speaking to a supervisor and having any problems you may have, solved. The representatives refuse to transfer you to their supervisor. One representative said she was …

  223. Your customer service employees are the worst humans on the planet. I was explaining to a agent why I was 1 month late and was about to make a payment over the phone and he did his outro speech over me speaking and hung up. You don’t want …

  224. I’ve had very little option in having to use this loan company. Overall the experience has been fair. I don’t understand why there’s a processing fee on top of what I am already paying. Makes no sense since I’m supposedly contacting …

  225. Had two auto loans through them. Wife fell very ill. We stayed in contact with them telling them what was going on. They were heartless. Didn’t care about our situation, just wanted their money. After my wife passed, I was trying to pay off …

  226. If I could rate this company a negative I would. I have emailed them needed documents 4 times. I have called to many times to count trying to explain the same situation. Every time I get a different made up answer from some “supervisor” …

  230. We refinanced a loan with our bank after a few months with Westlake. We had terrible communication issues with them. The payoff check was sent in June and arrived within 6 days to Westlake. We called a couple different times to be sure of …

  231. I am so glad that I got my car loan through Westlake financial because they will work with you. They also have some great people in customer service. I recently had a great experience talking with one of their customer service …

  232. Please read reviews. Do not Use this company. Your financial advisor won’t ever know what’s going on. Verification department is there to transfer your call. Like a call center. The data entry do not exist, they have all your documents and …

  233. This car company are loan sharks. I wish I went and looked at their reviews before I signed my contract. They have more one
