Tamika at the 8 mile store was awesome! She was the only one there doing everything by herself yet answered all of my questions. She got what I needed taken care of and I was done within an hour. Highly recommend

as I said before I can’t say what is going on with Rent-A-Center at this time, but in the past, it was a wonderful place to do business. The staff was very professional and courteous. Hopefully everything is still the same.
