Amazing company

5
The company are great, could not fault. I was very nervous about getting a car on finance and worrying about how it all works but the company phoned me several times and took me through the Process and out me at ease every step of the way. They explained everything to me snd how it works and what I have to to do on my end and honestly I don’t know why I was worrying! Everyone I spoke to was lovely, excellent customer service skills and even now if I have a problem or need to speak to them they are their waiting to help. The only con I would give the company is the interest is a bit high! Apart from that, excellent. Reviewed on: 13th August 2021
