Amazing customer service. So great that I continue to rent from this store even though I moved 40 minutes away. Just pay your bill on time and communicate.

I had the best most professional gentleman handle my account development from start to finish. He was extremely quality and customer service focused and I'd have no reservations recommending Rent -A-Center to my family and friends. In my opinion, he went above and beyond to make sure my needs were met. Thank you for asking.

A spare of moment need for "updated electronics" on a Saturday, I called the local store in Battle Creek regarding in store notepad/laptop there. (I had thoughts few days back purchasing slightly inexpensive model but all local electronics; sold out). Mary took my phone call and greeted me within store. She wrapped me up within an hour of arrival. She was pleasant and I was comfortable there as social distance was practice and we both were masks. The store going in and within was clean, organized by type appliance, sofa sets, bedroom furniture including a bunk bed setup. Thank you Mary for helping me and Thank you Rent-A-Center for a pleasurable transaction.
