The answer to "Can getting an auto loan improve your credit", is yes it can. If possible pay a little bit more on your monthly payments. This helps due to fact, of your credit score, which is determined, in one way, by the amount of interest you are paying on your auto loan. Paying a little more on your monthly payments will reduce the amount owed on the auto loan, as well as pay off the loan quicker. Therefore you'll be paying less interest. Do be sure to at least pay the monthly amount due on time.

Other ways getting an auto loan can improve your credit, is to allow it to be a learning tool. Everything you did and learned to improve your credit score when getting that auto loan can be applied to the rest of your bills. Take a moment to sit down and put on paper all sources of your income. Be honest with yourself, and write down everything that comes from your income, house payment or rent, gas, power, water bills, everything you use your income to pay.

After doing this, go through the list to see where you might cut the fat, so to speak. Then take the extra money to pay a little extra on other loans, credit cards, etc. This will bring down the payments and lower the interest on them as well. You will soon be on your way to a much better credit rating, and the next time you need an auto loan you will do so with a much reduced interest rate.
