Recent reviews from rent-to-own stores in Bay City.

Ja’corey at Rent-A-Center provided excellent customer service. He was very professional, helpful, and made the whole process smooth and easy. He took the time to answer my questions and made sure I understood everything before leaving. It’s always great dealing with someone who has a positive attitude and truly cares about helping customers. If you go to Rent-A-Center, I definitely recommend asking for Ja’corey!

I had a great experience with Rent-A-Center when getting my TV! Jacorey was very friendly and helped me find exactly what I was looking for. Delivery was on time, and everything was set up without any issues. I’m really happy with my TV and the overall service—definitely recommend and definitely needs a raise!

Rent-A-Center

I'm extremely late with this review, but I wanted to get it done while had the time to spare. First off, Rent-a-Center was very prompt in it's response to our need to change a washer and dryer set and swap it with another pair. The delivery was quick and very efficient. It was handled by Marco, who was incredibly knowledgeable and very helpful; going so far as to aid us in getting everything connected and working properly. He has a wonderful personality and is an excellent worker. Marco comes highly recommended. He is funny, witty and very friendly. He's great at his job and just a cool person to be around. If we get anything else, I hope Marco is the one who delivers to us. Thanks, Marco! YOU WERE AWESOME!!!

Chris and Jacorey are excellent. I called, filled out an application and gave references. They were even able to deliver the same day!!! They were kind, courteous and made sure that everything was hooked upt correctly. They come highly recommended and I hope that they are the two workers I have the pleasure of doing business with them again. Many thanks!!!

I've dealt with aarons before when I got my first apt and got my living room set there. Now that me and my husband have a house we went back to aarons to purchase a stove and Tiffany helped me and I got a good deal on a preleased stove. Once that was paid off we needed a new washer and dryer. So of course I went back to aarons and this time Isabella helped. We were looking at preleased but she helped me find a good deal on a NEW set. Aarons will always be my go to when looking for any new appliances and furniture.
