First car finance were so helpful when my family of 3 grew to 4, and we couldn't all fit in our little car. We needed something bigger immediately and first car finance were there to help get us the family car we needed so going places and 'the big shop' were a pleasure not a chore. The flexibility of repayments is great too. All the staff have been so friendly. Great business and excellent customer service. Reviewed on: 23rd July 2022

Amazing company

I’ve had 2 cars through this finance company. Never had a single issue everyone is so helpful on the phone when needed. My finance term for both cars has been so easy to sort and not one thing is a bother with the staff. Fantastic company to go through. Reviewed on: 23rd July 2022

Very helpful service without being pushy towards a sale

When I was looking to purchase my car I had a couple of options and when I changed my mind on one of the cars First Response helped me see how much I could get in finance, how much it would cost a month and also we’re happy to work with a garage that they had not before so I could get the exact car that I wanted rather than one similar to it.

I was assisted with the company even though I was on benefits which can hugely affect accessing car finance. However the company assisted me and application and acceptance were straightforward and timely. Reviewed on: 23rd July 2022
