If you are making payments on a car and decide to stop that you can bring the car back at the dealership and hand over the keys and tell them that you don't want to make the payments anymore and they'll just take it back no questions asked? Is it true? Just curious. Also will this lower your credit score?

Yes, you can. But, you are going to see a repo on your credit score.

the dealer has nothing to do with that car anymore..they were paid off in full when the bank gave you that loan....dropping it off at the dealer would be the same as dropping it off at a gas station...no payment..bad credit

It's called a volumtary surrender. You give the car to the finance company and they auction the car off. You are responsible for any amount of the note that is not covered by the auction. This will stay on your credit report for 7 years i think.
Not your best option.

There is a cooling period in Cali now. Been so for about a year. There is no difference on your score if you say it was voluntary or a flat repo. Think about the logic every single person would say it was voluntary. I suggest really good insurance and put the car up for sale in the ghetto leave it there for a few days and pray.

Mr smart guy....putting your car up for sale and then having it stolen sends up a big red flag for the insurance companies....

Yeah I was just wondering because someone mentioned it to me the other day, I have no plans on getting rid of my car. I actually plan on having it paid off by the end of the summer, thanks for the response.

Show me where I said "have it stolen"? Before you try to act cool you need to know what your talking about. I said "pray". I think people who do insurance jobs are STUPID! Risking lots of prison time for a few thousand dollars.
Also when you return a car there is quite a bit of money youre responsible for. Its not a full refund infact nobody really ever does it because its a lot of $ to return a car.
