Amazing service

I was a little stressed at the idea of getting finance, along with not having some good credit. But First choice staff put me at ease, called me to ask me a few questions and within a few hours I was approved. Now I'm driving a great car at a price that's good for me each month. Really great level of customer service great staff. Really recommended them to friends. Reviewed on: 13th August 2021
