I have used first response for years,no hassle and easy company to deal with Reviewed on: 6th June 2024

Excellent company

5
I have delt with this company on a few occasions now and wouldn't go anywhere else. They give excellent customer service/care, quick responses, very helpful and attentive but the best thing about them is their friendly and welcoming attitude. Financing can be overwhelming and stressful with all the paperwork ect but their easy to manage portal and quick to answer phone line makes it a smooth transaction for me as the customer.

Excellent

Friendly, honest and kept me up to date during the whole process. When the dealer I was buying from wasn’t on their list of dealers they work with, this was soon rectified. The online portal is user friendly and an excellent way of checking process and providing documents Reviewed on: 23rd July 2022

Exceptional customer service!

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

From one phone in the afternoon and few emails next morning and all sorted… brilliant 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.
