Mixed experience
Initial sales staff member was super helpful and informative, really went the extra mile to make a deal work for us!
Other members of the team were super attentive, checking in to see if we needed anything during our wait times.
We were however disappointed with the handover of the vehicle. After being told that it was going to be valeted and having the protective coating applied the vehicle was presented to us covered in swirl marks, with water marks, bird poo on it still and dirty wheels. When this was flagged with the member of the team handing the vehicle over he seemed irritated that we’d noticed it and that we wanted the details seen too before leaving. I had to send the vehicle back twice and even after that cleaned some of the marks off myself. It was a very underwhelming end to what had been a really positive experience so far.

Hi Zoe,
Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We’re really pleased to hear that your experience with our sales team was so positive, and that they went the extra mile to help make the deal work for you. It’s also great to hear that the wider team were attentive and made sure you were looked after during your wait.
That said, we’re genuinely sorry that the vehicle handover fell so far short of the standard we expect. Having been assured that the vehicle would be valeted and have its protective coating applied, it should absolutely have been presented to you in an immaculate condition. The presence of swirl marks, water marks, bird droppings and dirty wheels is clearly not acceptable, particularly at the point of collection.
We’re equally disappointed to hear that you felt your concerns were met with irritation and that you had to return the vehicle twice, only to still have to remove some of the marks yourself. We completely understand your frustration, especially after such a positive experience with the rest of the team.
We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and will be using your feedback with the team to ensure both the preparation of vehicles and the handover experience are handled to the standard our customers should expect.
Thank you again for your honest feedback, and we hope that despite this disappointing experience at handover, you’re enjoying your new vehicle.
Kindest Regards,
Big Motoring World

This company treats its customers with…
This company treats its customers with complete contempt!
Its pointless booking an appointment time as the reps who you sit down with have no prior knowledge of why you're there, they even book you appointments for a time 30 minutes before they open, meaning they expect you to sit around wasting your time.
The trade in values they offer are insulting. The car we took has since been traded in as part exchange at another outlet for a car at nearly 4k more than these jokers offered.
Its no wonder this outlet has changed hands so many times over the years.
Stay clear unless you enjoy having your pants taken down and paying for the privilege.

Hi Eden,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience fell so far short of the standard we aim to provide.
We understand your frustration regarding the appointment arrangements and the trade-in valuation, particularly if you felt your time was wasted and the valuation did not reflect what you believed the vehicle was worth. We’d like to look into the circumstances behind your visit, including the appointment timing and how the valuation was reached.
We’re unable to discuss individual customer details publicly, but if you’re willing to contact us directly with your details, we’d be happy to review what happened and address your concerns with the relevant team.
We appreciate your feedback and are sorry that we left you with such a negative impression.
Kindest Regards,

Awful place
Honestly. This place puts the motor industry to shame. It's a cattle market, you are herded in and out with very little dignity. I went with the intention of buying a car today, i'd paid the £99 deposit and it would have been a formality but the attitude of the Salesman turned a hit into a miss. He knew nothing about the car, he made me feel like he was doing me a favour in taking the car out for a test drive, there was no effort to engage and sell the car and at the end he just parked the car and walked off. I've bought 2 cars previously from Car Giant and although that was far from perfect it made this place look amateurish. Seriously, buy your next car from someone that actually cares about selling cars.

Hi Ben,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are truly sorry to hear that your recent visit did not meet your expectations and that you felt the service you received was unsatisfactory.
We sincerely apologise for the attitude of the sales team member and the impression that they were not engaged or knowledgeable about the vehicle. We aim to provide a respectful and helpful experience for all our customers, and it's clear we fell short in your case. Your comments about feeling rushed and the lack of engagement are concerning, and we assure you that this is not the standard of service we strive to deliver.
We understand your disappointment, especially having made a deposit with the intention of purchasing a car. We have shared your feedback with the management team to address these issues and ensure our team provides a more attentive and professional service.

Can only view if you sit down and talk to sales staff first , that puts the sales staff in charge rather than the buyer . Underhand tactics.

Poor customer service
I purchased my new car on Saturday, as we arrived home it came up with a fault “front radar blocked” as we have looked at the radar we can see that there is a large crack on the front bumper where the radar is. I spoke to the manager Matthew Broadhead at Sheffield he was no help at all. I have logged a complaint and still waiting for a call back from head office, all the while my car is sat on the driveway and I’m scared to use it because the radar system is a big safety element of the car. I also don’t want it to be used against me if I use the car. Not happy with my experience at all.

Hi Sophie,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, and we’re very sorry to hear about the issue you experienced so shortly after purchasing your vehicle.
We completely understand how concerning it must have been to receive a “front radar blocked” warning after arriving home, particularly when you have identified visible damage around the area of the radar system. We also appreciate your concerns about using the vehicle while you await clarification, as well as the frustration of being left waiting for a response after raising a formal complaint.
We’re particularly sorry to hear that you felt you did not receive the level of support you expected when you spoke with Matthew. Regardless of the circumstances surrounding the vehicle issue, you should feel listened to and supported when raising a concern.
We understand that the matter has been escalated and that you are awaiting contact from our Head Office team. We hope this can be reviewed and resolved as quickly as possible, including providing you with clear guidance regarding the vehicle while the matter is being investigated.
We sincerely apologise that your experience has fallen so far short of what you expected from us, especially so soon after purchasing your new car. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and hope we can work towards putting things right.
Kindest Regards,
Big Motoring World

Very poor after care service £2000 pounds worth of repairs needed!!
purchased a 2021 Vauxhall Corsa from Big Motoring World on 19 July 2026, expecting to buy a reliable vehicle that had undergone their advertised 200-point inspection. Unfortunately, within around two weeks of ownership I began experiencing problems with the vehicle, including difficulty selecting gears. I arranged an independent vehicle health check, which identified concerns with the wet timing belt, clutch, front brake discs and tyres. I also had to replace the front tyre immediately at my own expense after being advised by the garage that it had a dangerous bubble and was unsafe to drive.
Since reporting these issues, I have spent days making phone calls, sending emails, obtaining independent reports and chasing updates. Every time I provide the information requested, I seem to be asked for something else, which has made the whole process incredibly stressful and time-consuming.
Although some members of staff have been polite and tried to help, the communication has been inconsistent. I have spoken to multiple different advisers and have often been given different information, meaning I have repeatedly had to chase my complaint myself.
I was also surprised to discover that the advertised 200-point inspection is not an RAC inspection carried out by RAC technicians. When I requested the inspection record for my vehicle, the only documentation available was a generic pass/fail checklist with no technician notes, photographs or measurements, despite significant issues being identified by an independent garage shortly after purchase.
I was particularly disappointed by the response regarding the wet timing belt. After providing an independent garage report recommending replacement due to its condition, I was told that because there were no warning lights on the dashboard, their technicians considered the vehicle safe to drive. I did not feel this properly addressed the independent garage’s assessment or explained why they disagreed with it.
I have also had to pay £80 for an independent health check and £65 to replace an unsafe tyre while trying to resolve this matter.
At the time of writing, my complaint is still ongoing. I hope Big Motoring World resolves the matter fairly, and if they do I will happily update this review. However, based on my experience so far, I cannot recommend buying a vehicle from them.

Unfit for sale
We had arranged to have a car delivered (£129) to Norwich branch. We arrived on time and had to wait more than half an hour before someone came to see us. The person who worked with us was excellent and this poor review in no way reflects on her.
The car was a mess and should not have been put up for sale by Big MW. There were many deep dents and scratches inside two of the doors. There were scratches on most of the body panels. One of the rear seats was faulty and unsafe. A protective flap in boot area kept falling down. In the driver footwell the hard plastic matting was torn badly. I could go on. The price of the car was in the middle range for this model despite manager saying it was priced for its condition.
Because of the state of the car we were told the transfer cost would be refunded. It hasn’t been.
We expected much more from BMW. Disappointing.

Hi David,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are very sorry that the vehicle was not presented to the standard you expected, particularly given the condition you describe. We completely understand your disappointment, especially after making arrangements to have the car transferred to our Norwich branch and paying the £129 transfer fee.
We are pleased to hear that the member of our team who assisted you provided excellent service, and we will make sure your comments are passed on to her.
The concerns you have raised regarding the condition of the vehicle, including the damage to the doors and bodywork, the faulty rear seat, boot flap and damaged floor matting, are clearly not what we would want a customer to experience. We take feedback of this nature seriously and will review how the vehicle was assessed and presented for sale.
We are also concerned to hear that you were advised the £129 transfer cost would be refunded, but that this has not yet happened. We apologise for the inconvenience caused and would like to look into this for you.
Please contact our After Sales team directly with your details so that we can investigate the refund and address the other points you have raised. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and are sorry that your experience fell short of the standard you expected from BMW.

Please do not purchase warranty from…
Please do not purchase warranty from this company. I purchased a car in January the salesman in the shop was lovely! No issues with him. However after around 2 months I started having issues with the car, I was advised to take it for a diagnostic which I did, I’ve had back and forth emails with the warranty company, it is now August and my issue has not been dealt with. I took my car to Vauxhall for the diagnostic and the mechanic stated the car had multiple faults including the break and timing belt. I wish I would had read the reviews before purchasing my car. If you use this company do not purchase the warranty, save your money for any future repairs. They will not assist you or pay or for any repairs it’s a con!
