While GM Financial has an A rating from the Better Business Bureau (BBB), its customers settle it with a review score of 1.1 out of 5. There are also over 1,000 complaints from the past three years, the majority of witch have to do with billing and collections. It doesn’t have a Trustpilot page, and there’s not much in the way of customer reviews for the finance program specifically outside of its BBB profile.
