Two Times Round

We used the service a month ago to purchase a Kia Tasman. As a result we got what we believe to be a pretty good deal using Car Experts. This time round we wanted to add an electric vehicle to the fold. I was hoping to see if we could get a deal better than we could have achieved by ourselves. Unfortunately, we weren't able to solicit anything better than the current deals on offer to us from Kia. But the upside was that all the leg work was done for us and it didn't cost us anything to try.

Simple and efficient. Great experience.

Maddison was exceptional to deal with and I would not hesitate recommending CarExpert to anyone. In fact, I don't think I would buy a car any other way ever again! Makes the process very simple and efficient.

Scammers

Scammers – beware!
Do not place a quote with CarExpert. They told me they had a car in stock and ready to go, but after providing my driver’s licence photos, I found out none of the agreed-upon accessories were actually included in the deal. Then they suddenly said the car still had to be manufactured and could take 2–3 months to arrive. Completely misleading and dishonest process.

Hello Hadi,

We’re genuinely sorry this was your experience. We never want to upset or mislead anyone. Our role is to support customers through the buying process by working closely with our dealer partners.

While stock and specifications can sometimes change quickly at the dealer level, we should always ensure you’re kept clearly informed throughout. We’re sorry this wasn’t the case here. We’re reviewing our processes and remain committed to transparency, keeping our customers fully informed at every step.

Regards

The best car team in the business

I love that the guys that started CarAdvice have finally come back and started CarExpert. The quality of the writing is excellent, the videos by Paul Maric are incredibly detailed and informative and I find the reviews in depth and accurate.

I've bookmarked it and it's now one of my go tos for the car detail I need.

CarExpert - website built like a sports car

CarExpert is a great place to read well researched and entertaining articles about all the latest news and reviews about cars. They seems to be filling in the quality that I’ve seen recently dip from other car review websites. Best of all, CarExpert is completely advertisement free. So no irritating pop ups halfway through and article. It’s genuinely refreshing to read good content without constantly working around spam. 10/10!
