Friendly, caring and efficient finance company

5
I was able to get a new car when other companies were not willing to accept me. First Response Finance had a chat with me to understand my situation and took my story into consideration when making a decision rather than just replying on a computer decision. I will always be thankful for that. When I have had to speak with them, they have been friendly and caring. They are also efficient in the way they work Reviewed on: 22nd July 2022

I have been purchasing cars through First Response since my 2015, in total they have helped me and partner buy 5 vehicles. They have been an absolute pleasure to deal with in all my dealings with them. They go the extra mile to help you buy the car you want, they make the process uncomplicated, straightforward and as quick as they can. I cannot praise them enough. Wonderful company.

Amazing finance company

An amazing company of which has helped me and given me faith in future. Due to ill health and falling into financial difficulties I thought I could not get credit for a car and couldn't afford to buy 1 straight out. I depend on a car and first response looked at my circumstances and listened to me and they helped me get my life back by helping me get a new car. Lovely and understanding compassionate people. Look forward to my next finance on my next car. Reviewed on: 22nd July 2022
