Counted from each lender's own website: a lender is listed when it describes auto loans on a page we read and is headquartered in California or names California, or a county or town in it, as its service area. 53 other verified lenders that serve California did not mention auto loans on the pages we read, and 26 lenders headquartered here have no verified data yet. Not mentioned does not mean not offered. A listing is not an offer: ask the lender.
