If you are thinking about refinancing your auto loan it would be smart to go online and do a few calculations so you will better know what interest rate to shop for. You want to find the lowest interest rate that you are able to qualify for before you do the refinance if you want to save the most money. It only takes a few minutes so figure out what your payments will be before you get yourself into another loan that you can't afford.
Each bank that does auto refinancing takes different amounts of times to complete the transaction. However they'll all do it as fast as they can because they want your business and to collect your interest on the new loan.
If you have just made an auto loan payment before refinancing if everything goes as planned your next payment should be on the new loan with the lower interest rate. you can rest assured that the bank that is doing your refinance will move things along as quickly as they are able to. A good rule of thumb is that if you refinance this month your new payments will begin next month.
