I have used first response for years,no hassle and easy company to deal with Reviewed on: 6th June 2024

Going the extra mile

5
First Response finance from day one has gone over and above for me. Ensure the car was safe and road worthy, when there was a bit of concerns they dealt with it, their staff are always friendly and understanding. They go out their way to accommodate and have gone above and beyond to reach out to their customers during the pandemic to check they were okay and could afford payments. I would highly recommend this company, they are the first finance company I have dealt with where staff listen and understand every customer situation. Reviewed on: 13th August 2021

VERY GOOD AND FRIENDLY SERVICE AND VERY QUICK Reviewed on: 13th August 2021

Great Service

5
I've used First Response Finance for many years, and they have always been very helpful. Last year, I needed a new car as my old one had gone to car-heaven, I called tham up to find out my options, and they sorted the finance out and provided the websites of my local dealers within minutes. 2 days later, a new car was parked outside. Can't fault them. Reviewed on: 13th August 2021

Tremendous customer experience.

I've had loads of finance companies but this company is by far the best. I had a few issues with my car but they sorted it straight away. Every call was answered quickly, any call backs from them were made, every single time I spoke to them they were lovely. They would call me on any updates every time and they really do look after their customers. I've still to put in an email to say thank you for their help I've just not had any free time. I really appreciate all the hard work and friendly customer service you provided. Thank you. Reviewed on: 13th August 2021

Amazing Service

5
I have been with first response twice now. The first time they were fantastic and were very supportive when I accidentally wrote my car off. Not only were they practical with my needs but having advisers who took the time to be empathetic and compassionate with my situation really helped too. Unfortunately I had started new employment and therefore couldn’t renew my finance but I later went back with them and again, they were incredible and the whole process was very easy and hassle free. They even offered me £100 towards my new vehicle. Overall, I am very happy with the customer service and processes with First Response Finance and would recommend them to everyone!
