I needed a recliner chair for my mom whom is about to have back surgery. It was a quick/easy process to set up over the phone. Stephanie was the one that answered my call and she did a great job! Her customer service skills are 👌👌 👍 👍 I will definitely be back to this location in the future!

I have never had a bad experience with the team here at Aaron's, they have always been very professional and understanding, when things sometimes have come up. I would recommend the team at Aaron's to anyone I know who needs to buy something with flexible terms. Yes it is higher interest but when I needed something they have always come through for me. My best advice is to anyone is to sign up for easy pay that way you never miss a payment and then watch your arrangements get better over time. Thank you Aaron's and the team at rivers ave for always taking care of me.

Excellent customer service. Made my first experience easy, comfortable, & convenient. They don’t forget who you are, will call to give you reminders/follow up, & seem to actually care about customer service, which is almost Easton to these days.
