Excellent from start to finish.
After having many bad experiences with car dealerships around the south/London and even midlands trying to find my specific car, I came across Carsa. From start to finish they were amazing, professional but also a relaxed sales approach which suited me. No forced add ons or finance deals. They listened to what I wanted, accommodated my needs and made it such a pleasure to purchase from themselves. All staff were helpful, polite and even spent time to entertain my toddler.
The deal they offered was outstanding that there was no way I was leaving without the car.
Car was immaculate inside and out, available as soon as I arrived and even transported to my nearest branch to make life easier for me.
All in all an amazing experience (one I usually hate).

Good staff car and pricing but mediocre prep
Staff, process and car were great, apart from the Aircon not being cold and the fuel light coming on during test drive.

Dear Jonathan,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are pleased to hear you were happy with our team, process, and the car, but we're sorry the air conditioning and low fuel level let things down. We'll review our vehicle preparation checks and fuel procedures to help prevent this happening in future.

The Carsa Team
