Vehicle Finance

We work closely with First Business Finance who we believe will help to find you the best deal on finance for your desired vehicle. We are partnered with First Business Finance purely because of the brilliant service our customers get from Aston and the vast array of funders the company has to hand, offering the best finance solutions on the market. Aston is quick to respond to any request that either Thomas Truck Sales or our customers have and works on a more personal level than the other finance providers we have used in the past. He often meets with our customers in person to make the paperwork process easier and I am confident they are in safe hands from start to finish.

First Business Finance understands that with vehicle finance, every business is different. It’s this fact that allows them to work with our customers to understand the individual needs of each proposal to deliver a solution that fits. Whether you want them to finance one vehicle or many, they will always offer you the same high level of service.
