Lee, thanks for the positive feedback! We're delighted you're so pleased with your new car too.
Wouldn't use any other company
I used red potato for my previous car purchase and have just purchased another vehicle and I wouldn't use any other company. The service received from Nicky in underwriting and Blake in motoring was first class and did everything they could to assist me with the purchase.

Thanks for such kind words Robert. We'll pass on your feedback to Blake & Nicky and appreciate you choosing to use our services again.
Fast smooth service.
From start to finish everything was handled quickly and in a proffesional manner. Enquired about the car finance and was given a decision within 24 hours. Bought car from an independant garage on a Friday morning and all paperwork was done by Friday afternoon and money transfered to garage. Brilliant smooth service.

Excellent service, I can not thank them enough, highly recommended from me.
Unbelievable service,this is the second time I have dealt with red potato and they can not be more helpful and understanding.
Special thanks to Lucy Winter for sorting everything out for me,it was very much appreciated. I will not hesitate to use red potato again when I next change my car.

Unprompted review
excellent service, would recommend to anyone.
Friendly efficient staff, logical approach to lending rather than credit file looks bad so it's a no and a pleasure to deal with. Staff took ownership of every call rather than asking case handler to call back, doing what they promised within agreed timescale. Would have no hesitation in recommending to anybody struggling to obtain ''standard'' credit

First Class Service.
I approached Red Potatoe after being turned down from another finance company as i have adverse credit due to an accident many years ago.I found all the staff to be very friendly nothing was too much trouble and within 5 days i was at a main dealer garage driving away a fantastic vehicle.I would recommend this company to anyone who has struggled in the past to obtain car finance and APR is very good.A big thankyou to Lucy who dealt with my case throughout keeping me informed through out the process.See you in 5 years when i change my vehicle.

Hi Mark, thank you for the feedback and we hope you enjoy the new car!
Sceptical - Proved VERY Wrong
In desperate need of a replacement car, I contacted Red Potato about finance only... Once the required paperwork had been completed, the funds were offered the same day (in principle). I then knew my budget. I found a suitable car, and the funds were made available almost instantly... The matter was dealt with, from application, to collection of the vehicle was done with the minimal fuss, and within 2 days of my first application.
A special mention must go to Lucy Winter, who was brilliant...
I cannot praise highly enough...
