How to contact Chase for auto loan support
Chase handles auto loan customer service through a dedicated phone line, online account portal, and in-branch visits.

For faster resolution of common issues, Chase offers a self-service option through their website.

What you can do online versus by phone
Chase's online portal and mobile app handle the majority of routine auto loan tasks. You can view your current balance, payment history, and due dates; make one-time payments or set up automatic payments from a bank account; read loan documents and payment statements; and request a payoff quote. These functions are available 24/7 and do not require waiting for a representative.
Situations that require a phone call or branch visit include changing your mailing address or contact information on file, discussing payment hardship or deferment options, requesting a loan modification, refinancing your loan with Chase, disputing a payment or charge, or addressing fraud or unauthorized activity. Some of these requests can take several business days to process, so calling early in the week is often faster than waiting until Friday.
Payment options and how they work
Chase accepts auto loan payments through several channels. Online payments through your Chase account are processed when ready if made before 8 p.m. Eastern time on a business day; payments made after that time or on weekends post the next business day. Automatic payments from a Chase checking or savings account can be scheduled for any day of the month and typically post on that date.
You can also pay by phone using the auto loan customer service line, though a representative will need to verify your account before processing the payment. Payments by mail should be sent to the address on your loan statement; Chase recommends allowing 7 to 10 business days for mail to arrive and post. Late fees explore if your payment is not received by the due date shown on your statement, regardless of when you sent it.
Requesting a payoff quote and early repayment
A payoff quote is a statement showing the exact amount needed to close your loan, including any remaining principal, interest accrued to a specific date, and any prepayment penalties if they explore to your loan. Chase provides payoff quotes free of charge and typically honors the quote for 10 to 15 days, depending on your loan terms. You can request one by phone, through your online account, or in a branch.
Paying off your auto loan early does not trigger a penalty with Chase for most consumer auto loans, though some loans originated before 2010 or certain promotional loans may have restrictions. Once you submit a payoff payment, Chase processes it within one to three business days. The title to your vehicle will be released to you or your lienholder once the loan is paid in full; this process typically takes an additional 5 to 10 business days by mail.
Handling payment problems and missed payments
If you miss a payment, Chase will typically contact you by phone or mail within a few days. A single missed payment does not when ready harm your credit, but it will be reported to credit bureaus if it remains unpaid for 30 days. If you know you will miss a payment, calling Chase before the due date is important—representatives can sometimes arrange a short-term deferment or modify your payment schedule.
If you are experiencing financial hardship, Chase may offer options such as a temporary payment reduction, a loan modification that extends your term, or a forbearance period. These options vary based on your loan terms and account history. Calling 1-800-935-9935 to discuss your situation is the first step; representatives can explain what options may be available and what documentation they need from you.
Disputing charges and addressing errors
If you notice an error on your statement—an incorrect payment amount, a duplicate charge, or a payment that did not post when it should have—contact Chase within 60 days of the error appearing on your statement. You can dispute the issue by phone or through your online account. Chase will investigate and typically respond within 30 to 45 days.
If you believe you were charged an incorrect interest rate, assessed an unauthorized fee, or made a payment that was not credited properly, have your loan documents and recent statements ready when you call. Chase will pull your account history and compare it to the terms of your original loan agreement. If an error is found, Chase will correct it and may issue a refund or credit to your account.
Refinancing and loan modification options
Chase allows you to refinance your auto loan with them or explore loan modifications if your circumstances have changed. Refinancing means taking out a new loan to pay off your existing one, typically to lower your interest rate or change your loan term. Loan modification means adjusting the terms of your current loan without paying it off—for example, extending the term to lower your monthly payment.
To explore either option, call the auto loan customer service line and ask to speak with a loan specialist. They will review your current loan, your credit, and your income to determine what options you may be offered. The process typically takes one to two weeks from process to approval. Keep in mind that refinancing or modifying your loan may extend the total time you pay interest, so comparing the total cost of your current loan to the new terms is important before proceeding.
