Superb company to use

5
I couldn't fault them, they made everything so simple they even provide a list of car dealers they work with to make that choice easier. They deal direct with the dealership. The only thing that you need to do is test drive your car, they deal with everything else. Great company I would recommend this company to finance your next purchase. Reviewed on: 22nd July 2022

First Response

5
Having not had any finance in a number of years, the call handler was very nice. Wasn't judgemental of me when I was answering all the questions. First Response has tailored my repayments to suit exactly when my wages are going in. This is so helpful as I'm not tied to a date once a month. My call handler was very professional and I had a laugh with him as I wasn't always at home when he called. I didn't actually go for the first car that I applied for, but they were patient and waited with my approval until I found the right car for me Reviewed on: 22nd July 2022

These guys are FAST at sorting your application! Telephoned them a few times as I wanted clarity, no wait time and very helpful and polite staff! Seem well run and on the ball. Interest rate was a bit higher than Id like but maybe thats me and a sign of the times! All in all a good all-rounder with no stress to drive away in my new car. Reviewed on: 22nd July 2022

Absolutely amazing service!

From start to finish the whole process was so quick and simple and I was in my new car within days! They understand every single circumstance your dealing with in life. They take the time to ensure your feeling yourself. First Response Finance are brilliant and deserve a 10/10 from me. I would quite happily buy another car from First Response without a doubt! as it was genuinely my First Response and the best decision I made entering into an agreement with them. Brilliant customer service and brilliant conduct! Couldn’t be more grateful and happy that I’m actually involved in a company that cares. Reviewed on: 22nd July 2022
