Unscrupulous Salesman
Yet to collect the car but a word about the ridiculous high pressure attempt to sell a warranty, paint and fabric upgrades.
Refuse to participate in their scripted sales techniques. They cut our trade in offer in half but added it back on again if we bought the paint upgrade for £1 a month. Presumably so they could claim commission. It's all very unprofessional and potentially illegal.

Hi Kevin,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your experience during the purchase process has left you with this impression.
Our optional products, such as extended warranties and vehicle protection packages, are intended to provide customers with additional choice and are never a requirement when purchasing a vehicle. We certainly do not want any customer to feel under pressure, and we're disappointed to hear that's how your experience felt.
Trade-in valuations and promotional offers are assessed independently and can vary depending on a number of factors. However, we take any concerns about how these were communicated very seriously.
Thank you again for your feedback, as it helps us improve the experience we provide to our customers.
Kindest Regards,
Big Motoring World

Hi Alex,
Thank you for your review. We are truly sorry to hear about your extremely negative experience and the issues you've encountered with your vehicle so soon after purchase.

Hi,
I was very please in the way I was treated from start to finish at Big Motoring World.
Albie was a very experienced sales person providing lots of knowledge of the cars I was interested in, without any pressure for a sale (which would have caused me to walk out). He has a great personality and my wife and I felt very relaxed in his company and felt we could trust him.
Nelson was very polite and efficient. He explained every stage of the purchase, the sale of my old car and arranged the purchase of my new car tax.

Stay away from this dreadful company
Bought a car Friday pm. They had to jumpstart it on their forecourt as battery dead. Said ‘normal’ as car been sat for a while. Engine malfunction warning appeared as soon as drove off. In garage Sat morning booking it in for inspection.
Battery completely shot. Front tyre treads also way below paperwork given by Big Motoring World.
Paid extra for 12 month warranty.
Warranty company informed me 12v batteries and tyres not covered by warranty.
Called Big Motoring World. Given different numbers to call and no one able to help apparently - not their department.
Stay away from this company. 200 point check a joke. Warranty not worth paper written on.

HI Jenny,
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We're sorry to hear that you've experienced issues so soon after collecting your vehicle, and we appreciate how frustrating this must have been.
We're disappointed to learn of your concerns regarding the battery, the engine warning light, and the condition of the tyres, particularly given your expectations following our pre-sale inspection. We're also sorry to hear that you were left feeling unsupported when trying to raise these issues and that the warranty coverage was not what you expected.
Providing clear communication and a positive aftersales experience is important to us, and we're sorry that this was not reflected in your experience.
We'd like the opportunity to look into the concerns you've raised. If you haven't already done so, please contact our After Sales team with your vehicle registration and purchase details so we can review the matter and work towards a resolution.
Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. Your feedback is valuable and will be shared with the relevant teams as part of our ongoing efforts to improve our service.
Kindest Regards,
Big Motoring World
Conflicting Experience
Went on Saturday for a test drive and was assigned to Chris. He was friendly, helpful and not at all pushy, making it a really positive experience. I would highly recommend requesting him as your sales advisor if you visit. Chris alone would have received 5 stars.
We came back on Sunday to purchase a car after reserving one online, but unfortunately the experience was the complete opposite. The salesperson we were assigned to was fine, but when we explained that we couldn’t afford the added extras and extended warranty, his manager came over and was extremely blunt, rude and pushy. We had already arranged our own bank loan and had a fixed budget for the car. Despite us explaining this several times, he kept insisting that because we had a good credit rating we could simply borrow more to cover the extras. He was trying to persuade us to spend around £2000 more than we had budgeted, which felt completely inappropriate and made us very uncomfortable. Eventually, we managed to get him to back off so we could simply pay for the car.
By that point we just wanted to get home, so we declined the valet. However, once we got the car home, we regretted that decision as it was absolutely filthy inside and smelled strongly of dogs. It also only came with one key, no parcel shelf, no floor mats and had no spare tyre.
Had our experience ended after Saturday’s test drive, this would have been a 5-star review. Unfortunately, the way we were treated during the purchase the following day means I’ve only been able to give 2 stars.
To add to our disappointment, on the drive home the car displayed a persistent “Camera/radar: no visibility” warning, and around 10 minutes into a journey the following day, the tyre pressure warning also appeared. A car sold as having passed a 200-point inspection should not be displaying multiple warning messages. This has left us with very little confidence that the pre-sale inspection was carried out to the standard advertised.

Hi BH,
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a detailed review and for sharing both the positive and negative aspects of your experience.
We're pleased to hear that Chris made such a positive impression during your test drive. It's great to know he provided the friendly, helpful, and pressure-free service we strive to deliver, and we'll be sure to pass your kind comments on to him.
We're very sorry, however, that your experience when returning to purchase the vehicle fell so far short of your expectations. We never want any customer to feel pressured or uncomfortable, particularly when discussing finance or optional products. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, as this is not the level of service we aim to provide.
We're also disappointed to hear about the condition of the vehicle on collection and the issues you've experienced since taking it home, including the warning messages and your concerns regarding the pre-sale inspection. We understand how frustrating this must be, especially after being assured the vehicle had undergone our advertised checks.
We'd like the opportunity to investigate both your experience in the showroom and the concerns you've raised about the vehicle so we can work towards putting things right. Please contact our After Sales team at your earliest convenience, quoting your registration number or vehicle details, so we can look into this as quickly as possible.
Thank you again for your feedback. While we're pleased we were able to help you find the right car, we're genuinely sorry that your overall experience did not reflect the standards we expect, and we hope to have the opportunity to restore your confidence.
Kindest Regards,
Big Motoring World
Bring in a cafeteria
It was nice to have the sales person not pressuring me to buy vehicles I did not want, and to seem to offer good valid advice that I may not have thought of at that point in time.
The small changes I personally would like to be different would be, to be offered the opportunity to put in personal information like wages and other incomes in a private space alone, I’d informed my sales person that I wanted privacy and asked my guest to give me a few moments privacy, only to have someone come over and say out loud the figures anyway, which left me feeling that my personal information was breached,
I did not appreciate that at all.
Aside from that, the sales person was pleasant and the car is lovely to drive.
I was not expecting to be on-site for several hours, I needed to eat, it would be good practice if there was an on-site cafeteria for those who bring guests, your customers might have felt it a more comfortable experience to think things through over a small bite to eat and restful place.

Hi Joanne,
Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback.
We're delighted to hear that you felt supported throughout your visit and that our salesperson provided helpful advice without any pressure. It's also wonderful to know you're enjoying your new car.
We're very sorry to hear about your experience regarding the discussion of your personal financial information. We understand how important privacy is, and it's disappointing to learn that we did not meet your expectations after you had specifically requested a private moment. Your feedback has been shared with our team as a reminder of the importance of handling sensitive information with the utmost discretion.
We also appreciate your comments about the length of your visit and the lack of on-site refreshments. We understand that purchasing a vehicle can take several hours, and your suggestion of having a café or a more comfortable space for customers and their guests is a valuable one. We'll be sure to pass this feedback on for consideration.
Thank you again for your honest review. We truly value your feedback as it helps us improve the experience we provide to all of our customers. We wish you many happy and safe miles in your new vehicle.

Hi Millie,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are truly sorry to read your review and to hear about the distress this situation has caused you, particularly during such a late stage of your pregnancy.
We understand how upsetting and frustrating it must have been to experience ongoing issues with your vehicle, difficulties contacting our team, and the breakdown you have described. This is not the level of service we aim to provide, and we're sorry that you feel let down.
We take your concerns very seriously and would like the opportunity to investigate what has happened, including the support you have received regarding your warranty, your interactions with our teams, and the assistance provided following your breakdown.
Please contact our After Sales team at your earliest convenience with your name, vehicle registration, and the best way to reach you, or send us a private message if that's easier. We will ensure your case is reviewed as a priority and that a member of the team contacts you directly.
We sincerely hope you are receiving the support you need, and we wish you and your family all the very best.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I'm truly sorry to hear that your experience with us was so disappointing and that several issues were present with your vehicle upon collection.

I have already left a lengthy review but have just been informed we have been lied to AGAIN. We have never brought a car from a dealership so we took their word for all the stuff we was told. So…. We was told we could activate our big assist 2 year warranty whenever we wanted and it would cancel the manufacturer Warrenty. So we “started” our big assist Warrenty and upon calling them today 1 day prior to seeing a garage about an issue I find out that it was absolutely not true. Thanks again big motoring world for more lies

Hi Ashleigh,
Thank you for updating your review. We're sorry to hear that you've been left feeling frustrated and that you believe you were given incorrect information regarding your warranty cover.
We appreciate how confusing this situation must be, particularly if this is your first experience purchasing a vehicle from a dealership. We always aim to provide clear and accurate information about our products and services, so it's disappointing to learn that your understanding of how the warranty operates differs from what you've since been advised.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Your feedback is important and will be shared with the relevant team as part of our ongoing efforts to improve the customer experience.
