No worries

I had searched for a specific type of vehicle early one year and couldn't find one suitable immediately, first response kept my details on file until I found the correct one for me. When I found a small problem with the DPF and warning light came on, customer service contacted the dealership prompting the issue to be fixed as it had warranty. Changing the date of direct debit was also so easy and a friendly experience, Many many thanks first response! Reviewed on: 16th August 2021

Understanding and very helpful team.

I have had nothing but good experiences with this company. After being unable to work during lockdown and being self employed so unable to benefit from the furlough scheme, first response finance were very understanding and helped me make arrangements to accommodate my financial situation without fuss or pressure. I cannot thank them enough. Reviewed on: 16th August 2021
