To start to finish the application was simple to fill out the communication and process of the application throughout was easy and straightforward. They contacted the dealership paid for the bike. All I had to do was go and pick it up highly recommended. Reviewed on: 5th May 2025

Excellent. I was in the process of buying a car and the dealerships messed me around a little. First response worked with me to find another vehicle as one of their approved dealerships. Happy with my purchase thank you. Also to note this is my second time financing a car with FRF. Reviewed on: 5th May 2025
