Don’t do it…

Don’t do it…. Avoid at all costs. Still haven’t got a £500 refund and sold a faulty car. Original car we was buying had a recall on it but failed to tell us that and made us travel all that way down. Abysmal aftercare.

I’ve written in before about my…

I’ve written in before about my experience of buying a car from you, unfortunately the experience has worsened.

I bought a car from you 2 1/2 weeks ago and had to pay a holding deposit of £500 as I wasn’t able to collect the car until the following day. I was advised on collection that the finance team have requested my holding deposit refund with head office.

Fast forward 2 weeks I went back into the Camberley dealership to chase up where my refund was, to be told nothing could be done on a Sunday as head office is closed. I called the number on your website today as I still haven’t received my refund, to be told by the guy on the phone Camberley should of sorted this, he then blind transferred me through to Camberley collections who didn’t know my situation and thought it was about something else. The lady then tells me it is head office accounts that has to deal with it but couldn’t transfer me back through, I then requested for this to be escalated to a manager as I shouldn’t be the one having to chase this to get resolved, to be told no managers were on site today. I then called back the head office number to be told I’ll get a response within 3-5 working days, absolutely shocking experience, I’ve already waited 2 1/2 weeks for something that can be done in seconds.

I still need my refund back, can someone from your company please take ownership of this and resolve the problem.

Hi Nick,

We’re sorry to hear about your experience and, in particular, the frustration caused by the delay in receiving your £500 holding deposit refund.

We completely understand why you’re unhappy that, after being advised the refund had been requested, you have then had to make repeated calls and visits to establish what is happening. Being passed between different teams without anyone taking clear ownership is understandably frustrating, and this is not the level of service we want our customers to receive.

We appreciate that the refund should be dealt with promptly and that you should not have to repeatedly chase different departments for an update. We’re sorry that this has been your experience.

As we cannot discuss individual financial transactions publicly, we would encourage you to provide your details through our direct customer service channel so the relevant team can review the status of your refund and ensure the matter is followed up appropriately.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we apologise again for the inconvenience and frustration caused.

Kindest Regards,
Big Motoring World

Uninterested salesman

Visited this company’s Camberley branch today , they have a good selection of cars , however if you don’t show an interest in taking out their exorbitant priced extras the salesman really can’t be bothered to.
It comes across they actually don’t really want cash purchases .

Five weeks of obstacles over a warranty claim

I reported an engine-bay noise on 4 July while my Renault Clio’s 90-day warranty was active. Big Motoring World first asked me to provide photographs of a noise, then made me find and pay for an independent diagnosis myself instead of arranging an inspection.

RAC confirmed a faulty water pump, but Big Motoring World still refuses to progress the claim without a separate repair estimate and photographs of failed parts. I am now stuck chasing third parties for paperwork simply to get them to consider a fault reported under warranty.

Five weeks later, they have neither inspected nor repaired the car. Their warranty process appears designed to transfer every cost, task and delay onto the customer.

Hi Seth,

We’re sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate you taking the time to share your concerns.

We understand your frustration, particularly given that you say the issue was reported while your warranty was still active and that you have subsequently incurred costs obtaining an independent diagnosis. We appreciate that having to provide additional information and documentation can be frustrating when you are already dealing with a vehicle fault.

We take warranty concerns seriously, and our claims process requires certain information to establish the nature of a fault and determine the appropriate course of action. However, we are sorry that you feel the process has resulted in unnecessary delays and placed too much responsibility on you.

Thank you again for bringing this to our attention.

Fantastic Experience!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I had a great experience with Sales Executive Ejon. From the very beginning, he provided excellent customer service and made the whole car-buying process easy and stress-free. He was friendly, professional, helpful, patient and really took the time to make sure I was happy with my purchase.

The car is great (I love it!), and I’m very pleased with my decision.

I would definitely recommend Ejon to anyone looking for a quality car and excellent customer service.

Also Lucas the Handover Advisor, was fantastic throughout the handover process. He was friendly, professional, and extremely helpful, making sure everything was explained clearly and that I was completely happy with the car before leaving.

Overall the staff were very welcoming, throughout the day. Many would often check in to make sure I was ok!

Thank you for making the whole experience such a positive one!

After sales team a

AVOIDDDDDD AT ALL COST
I brought a vehicle 26 days ago on the 4th August a light came on my dashboard the right indicator light on my t roc stopped working , I called blue motors and reported the problem they transferred my to there insurance (warranty) in which I purchased extra warranty outside there 3 month window, I was then booked to take to there chosen garage where I got the diagnostic of which because of the make of car it’s not a simple fix they would have to take the whole LED unit out and replace , Monday I was called to confirm the fault that had to be fixed and was told I would be called back asap, Tuesday today comes I call up and was told the job has been rejected , I have sent several complaint emails which have not been answered to and had several rude workers on there after sales team basically not helping , quoting isra from head office saying these things happens is a vehicle , refusing me to speak to a manager saying she will say the same thing . I have chased up big motors who said they will have the warranty re look the claim and they need more info from the garage, I called the garage they said they sent everything over . Now under the 2015 consumers act big motoring world should of fixed this issue despite what there third party warranty said as the vehicle was purchased 26 days ago which I had to inform Emily of as she also was quick to tell me it’s under review , this is the most disappointing experience I have had and to be honest I will be opting to get a refund , from last Wednesday I cannot drive the car as it’s not road worthy ( expect for driving it to the garage and back home on the 7th to get the diagnostics) and when asking isra for compensation in for missing days out on work he clearly said we don’t do that here. The after sales team are no help , complaints don’t get replied after 3 working days like they state and they are quick to call for a sale but not when a issue occurs , please for your sanity do not bother because you will not get proper support from the after sales team , I have also had to inform my finance company to chase this issue as well

Hi Mila,

We’re very sorry to hear about the issues you’ve experienced and understand how frustrating this situation must be, particularly given how recently you purchased the vehicle and the time you’ve spent trying to get the fault resolved.

We take concerns regarding vehicle faults and our Aftersales service seriously. We’re also sorry to hear that you feel you have not received the level of communication and support you expected from our team. We appreciate how difficult it is to be without your vehicle, especially when this has affected your ability to travel to work.

We’d like the opportunity to review your case in full and ensure that the concerns you’ve raised, including the warranty claim and communication with our Aftersales team, are properly investigated. If you could please provide us with your vehicle registration and contact details via private message, we can look into this further with the relevant team.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re sorry that your experience so far has fallen short of the standard we aim to provide.

Don’t trust part-exchange rate promised

We had to wait a long time for a salesman to see us even though we had pre-booked an appointment and test drive; salesman was not very knowledgeable of car’s electronic features (he did try); when we sat down to discuss deal, before any money could be discussed we had to watch a demo of a seat protection liquid and listen to an attempt to sell an additional warranty. He then went to the office and produced a sheet of paper with the finances on it - which I was not allowed to take away! Having been promised a minimum of £6450 if in poor condition for Mini Clubman I was offered £4000 and was told it was non-negotiable. A waste of a three-hour car journey -
not ethical!

Poor after sales service.

Service seemed ok until they have your money and released the vehicle, after sales was very poor, they had told me that they would be providing a second key which was to be mailed to me however after a few weeks it had not arrived and they now deny this was ever the case, they made an error I assume and then deny any responsibility.

Hi Gareth,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you were disappointed with the after-sales service and the communication regarding the second key.

We take concerns like this seriously and certainly don’t want any customer to feel that their concerns have been dismissed. While we may have a different understanding of what was discussed regarding the key, we appreciate your frustration and apologise for the inconvenience caused.

We would welcome the opportunity to review the circumstances with you directly and see whether there is anything further we can do to resolve the matter. Please contact our After Sales team with your vehicle details so we can look into this further.

We value your business and are sorry that your experience after purchasing the vehicle did not meet the standard of service we aim to provide.

It was a seamless purchase

It was a seamless purchase, sorting out everything there and then: test drive, payment, temporary insurance, tax - all done and driven away within 2 hours.
Only slight niggle - in attempting to sell extended warranty they overplayed unknown reliability of EVs which I’d hoped we’d moved beyond.
But fully recommend for a trouble free purchase.
