Using GMAC for your auto loan is a smart move for several reasons. GMAC is a company with a reputable name and will stand behind their products and services. You may think that because you buy your car from a lot, that the car dealership is the one that backs up the products, but the end result must come from the car company itself.
Usually, you can get your GMAC auto loan directly through your car dealership. This should also give you piece of mind when buying your car. If the dealership trusts GMAC products and services enough to sell their automobiles, you should rest assured that the company you're dealing with is top-notch.
It's not just about importance, but about convenience. You're shopping for a car and you've finally found "The One" and you're ready to sign. However, as you talk to the car salesman, you find out they don't offer on-site loan service. That means you have to leave the car dealership and go back to your bank to get the loan - how inconvenient is THAT? ! Not to mention the fact that most people shop for cars on the weekends - likely after the banks are closed!
