Unhappy experience

I bought a £12k car from here on 28th Feb 2025, all went fine. BUT BEWARE!! 24 hrs later the check engine light came on, Vanwise told me to deal with this through the AA 'warranty' that came with the car. Car went into garage for diagnosis and repair, it was there for 3 days while they went back and forth about who was paying for it, before it was even fixed. The 'warranty' covered £70 of the bill, I had to pay a further £227 to get my car back. Two weeks after I sent them the invoice and proof of payment and Vanwise are still trying to get out of paying me back. And for the first two weeks of having it I couldn't even drive it! Awful experience, please think twice about using them would be my advice.

Highly recommemed

From start to finish, Irfan, Kelly and the team have made the whole process of buying a new van a very easy and enjoyable experience. After a recent bad experience with another company, I really appreciated how efficient and supportive they were. Would highly recommend buying from Vanwise in Harlow.

We had a really positive experience…

We had a really positive experience with Vanwise, Harlow. We travelled quite a distance to their site due to their wide range of stock. We were looking for 2 vans but purchased 3 in the end due to the competitive pricing options we were able to agree with Irfan. The arrangement of the admin and documentation was very smoothly and efficiently handled by Kelly and Dave who transported all 3 vans to us was really reliable and helpful. All 3 personnel that we dealt with gave us great confidence in the company and we would certainly look to use them again in the future and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

Send vehicle with major faults and then ignore every attempt of contact.

Bought a pre-registered vehicle only to find out it is over two years older vehicle was supplied four weeks after signing the order form and when it eventually arrived it had multiple rust all over and additional faults with the vehicle so rejected it as the 14 days less distance selling laws is there to protect a consumer. Since the rejection they have been nothing but challenging and then eventually ignored all contact still to this day very difficult to contact through the phone they don’t call back never had my money back still after getting the final response three months since I still have not had my money back I’m still owed hundreds and hundreds of pounds they are refusing to pay the finance company back. They ignore them they ignore me do not buy from this company.

Van broke down after 6 weeks

I bought a Van 3 years ago for van wise. On the first day i used it the door handle came off in my hand and had to get fixed. after one week it was burning oil at over two litres a week. The rear door lock broke after 4 weeks , and after 6 weeks the DPF filter light came on and the van went into limp home mode at only 45000 miles. the AA warranty refused to fix the problem as did Vauxhall .The van is now broken down and all wan wise said to me was it is my problem.
