An excellent experience for my Granddaughter

The Salesman was very friendly and helpful. I came to your store with my 16 year old granddaughter, so that she could get an idea of the type of cars available to her, when she can drive at 17. I was really impressed with the way the Salesman spoke with my granddaughter, regarding the types of car available to suit a learner, and not me. Well done. I’m afraid that I can’t remember his name.

Appalling customer service and lack of accountability for their own mistakes

This happened last year but since they keep repeated sending us emails asking us to review their service despite us asking multiple times to remove us from their mailing list, I thought I would share our experience. We bought a car from them and were of course told everything was fine and we purchased a 2 year warranty as well. 4 months later our car broke down so we tried to have them fixed it which they of course denied and said it wasn't covered under our warranty. For 2 weeks we were ignored and spoken down to by their rude customer services team who kept telling us a manager would call us, which they never did. During this time we both missed work due to not having a car and their staff are the rudest I have ever experienced with zero empathy or even basic training by the sounds of it. My partner ended unless calling them to find out what was happening as I said we were being completely ignored and being sent the same emails saying it wasn't covered under our warranty. As it turns out they hadn't even activated our warranty so of course it wasn't covered and then they offered ZERO apology or compensation for what was THEIR mistake and refused to even refund us the warranty despite them not providing the service we had paid for. After much back and forth they refunded us 1 year of the warranty which is quite frankly insulting considering they did not provide the service we paid for and we were very much out of pocket at this point and had no choice but to pay to have it fixed on our own. Their disgusting customer service approach of ignoring their customers and refusing to take accountability for something that they admitted themselves was their fault is reason enough to never by a car from them again. But we have also had no end of issues with the car which we have had to fix ourselves. Their lack of accountability and compensation for the issues they caused, caused us so much distress and they didn't even care enough to call us back. Their mantra of providing affordable, good quality cars to people is a complete lie as essentially they ignore you until you have no choice financially but to fix it yourselves. It is unlikely they will even reply to this review as they avoid accountability at every turn but you asked for a review so here it is - enjoy.

Hi LH,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and we’re sorry to hear about the experience you’ve described.

We regret the delay in communication and the frustration caused during your attempts to resolve the warranty issue, particularly where there were failures in the activation process and the follow-up you received. This is not the standard of service we aim to provide.

I have passed this on to the relevant Management Teams so that this can be reviewed internally. Additional training will also be provided where necessary to ensure this does not happen again.

Unfortunately, we have been unable to locate your details and have yet to receive a response to our Trustpilot request for further information. Could you please email us at Customercare@bigmotoringworld.co.uk so we can ensure your details are removed from any mailing lists, as requested.

Kindest regards,
Big Motoring World

Really good Service

Really good Service. Purchased a car from the Chatham branch. All very slick. Car is great. Had a very small issue with a sensor after a couple of weeks. Logged this on the app and Charlotte & Poppy sorted this for me under the warranty. They were both super helpful indeed. Would definitely use again.

Low ball part exchange and just tried to sell pointless warranties

This is specifically about Big Motoring World - Blue Bell Hill

Went to buy a car for the wife, drove 2.5 hours to go see it and test drive it.

We were looking to part exchange old car.

Old car valued at £4.5k on their website, we buy any car and pretty much every company we looked at, or very close.

After test driving car, we were shown all the extras we could buy, such as warranties and scuff cover.

Once this was done, we were finally asked to do finance application and they would value part ex.

Sales rep went away to get quotes.

Came back with part ex value of £2.5k, claiming lots of damage to car, and that anywhere else would give us a low offer too.

Also came back with a sheet of paper showing all the monthly figures including all the add ons, despite us not saying we wanted any.

We told them our monthly budget, and it was all significantly over.

Sales rep did nothing to try and make it work for us.

Very poor service all round, felt like they just wanted to sell us scammy ad ons, appallingly low ball part exchange and did nothing to keep us as a customer despite long drive to see car.

I would like to point out here, Arnold Clark gave us £4.4k for the part exchange, and did absolutely everything to make sure we got the car we wanted for our budget. The Sales rep even came in on his day off when we collected it to make sure everything was smooth for us.

Never use big motoring company, they are terrible.

Hi Greg,

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention and expressing your dissatisfaction with the service you've received from Big Motoring World. We apologise for any inconvenience or frustration caused by the issues you've encountered with our Blue Bell Hill branch.

We are sorry about your disappointment with the part exchange validation. Unfortunately, the system currently used for valuations is very limited; the marketing and development team are looking into a new system for this. Along with this, the valuation is to be used as a guide only until viewed in person. Our valuation can depend on many factors and we do value our part exchanges slightly differently to some dealerships as the majority of cars do go to auction.

We also apologise for the sales process and additional products offered. These are always presented as optional, and we’re sorry if this was not communicated clearly or if you felt pressured at any stage. That is certainly not the experience we aim to provide.

I will be sure to pass on your feedback to the relevant persons who will ensure that training is implemented where necessary.

Kindest regards,
Big Motoring World

I felt the dealer who handled my enquiry was very helpful, friendly and wasn’t forceful with my decision making, he provided all the information I needed to make the best informal decision that suited me well. The only very minor disappointment was that the same dealer who was responsible for my enquiry, took on another client and in the end I was taken over by somebody else when I was the first customer that arrived and this lead to an inability for me to drive away with the car that day.

Worst car buying experience ever

Worst car buying experience ever. Salesman did not listen to what our requirements were instead telling us what they thought was best. They were very judgemental and wanted to control the whole interaction. The test drive was particularly unpleasant where he tried to tell me (a qualified mechanical engineer) that I was wrong about a particular fault. Needless to say we did not buy and won't be back.

Hi Aziz,

I am so sorry to hear about this, and that it is taking longer than expected to receive a response from the team on this.

Our After-Sales Team work on a ticket system where the oldest emails are responded to first to ensure we are responding to our customers as fairly as possible. However, a member of the team will respond as soon as possible.

Excellent experience with Big Motoring World Blue Bell Hill.

Useless warranty for Tesla

I purchased a Tesla together with a three-year maintenance warranty.

Recently, I wanted to arrange an inspection and repair. However, your customer service team instructed me to have the vehicle inspected by a local garage and provide an inspection report.

The problem is that Tesla vehicles can only be inspected and repaired by Tesla workshops, and other garages are generally unable to provide the required diagnostic and repair services. However, your insurance company does not accept the report format issued by Tesla workshops and has not provided any alternative solution.

I paid £1,700 for this insurance policy, but in practice the policy is not usable for a Tesla vehicle. As a Tesla owner, I am unable to comply with the inspection requirements, which means I cannot effectively make use of the cover that I have paid for.

Bad tyres. Watch out

I recently purchased a car from Big Motoring World. Overall, the car itself is in very good condition and I’m happy with the vehicle. However, I was disappointed to discover that a relatively modern 5-year-old performance car had been fitted with very cheap, low-quality tyres. On a car with this level of performance, I would expect reputable tyres that match the vehicle’s capabilities and provide proper safety and handling.

What concerned me even more was that three of the tyres are run-flat tyres, while one is not. Having mismatched tyre types on the same vehicle is something I would not expect from a large dealership, particularly on a performance car where consistency, handling, and safety are important.

I also found customer service responses to be quite slow when I raised my concerns, which made the experience more frustrating than it needed to be.

The car itself is good and was presented in nice condition, but the use of cheap tyres, the mismatch between run-flat and non-run-flat tyres, and the slow after-sales communication have unfortunately taken away from what could have been a much better buying experience.

Hi Mehmet,

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention and expressing your dissatisfaction with the service you've received from Big Motoring World.

All of our vehicles are subjected to an inspection prior to their placement on the forecourt and are sold in used condition, which may present signs of wear and tear earlier than those of a new vehicle.

We apologise for any disappointment that may have been caused.
