Reply from First Response Finance Hi Ryan, Firstly, it's great to hear that we were able to help you in purchasing your new vehicle. I'm sorry to hear you experienced a long wait time when trying to contact us - we experience busy periods, but this is not up to our usual standards, so thank you for bringing this to our attention!
