"DO NOT BUY! YOU’LL REGRET IT"

DO NOT BUY !!!! Bought a car with 3 months warranty, kept taking the car back because from the day I collected the car there was a noise. 3 months saying they couldn’t find anything wrong with the car, they changed the few things in the car and the issue was still there. Decided to pay for a report/ diagnostic with a mechanic chosen by me. What a surprise and the shock to know that the car had damages that would have being done before the purchase and those damage would have being made in a car accident. They now saying that they won’t give us the money back ( expensive car, paid all in cash) and I am taking legal action and going to the local papers to tell what they do to people. We also found out that we are not the only ones in this situation DO NOT BUY !!! You’ll regret it, they are untrustworthy!

Su in response to DO NOT BUY! YOU’LL REGRET IT

I have had a very similar experience with this company and now they won’t give my money back. My car shouldn’t have passed MOT, they lie and lie and lie. I hope you have reported them to Trading Standards

I saw a car I liked on auto trader, however there were limited videos/pictures on there so requested some more. They advised they could not send these without paying a deposit of £100, which I paid. 8/9 days later I still had no additional pictures/videos. They had assured the reason it had taken so long was because it was in the workshop ‘being minted up’. After contacting them everyday and threatening to pull out, they sent them- the pictures looked ok, due to personal circumstances we had to have the car delivered. It arrived 1.5hours later than the advised time and was starting to get dark. The car arrived with a door handle clip missing, which they said they would post out- but since receiving the car the team have been avoidant of our calls/emails made to them. Clips in the boot liner are broken and the reversing camera does not work which makes me think they knew about this. I would avoid using this company completely, the customer service is shocking.

I have left 2 reviews about this place before and will keep on leaving them bad reviews to warn others NOT TO BUY from here. I bought my car in May 2022 and wanted to return in within a week due to faults but was refused ever since its been in and out from repair for longer than in my possession. Recently been for repaid for the 4th time (I live in Reading so takes over 2 hr drive) they had it for over 3 weeks, I picked it up put fuel in and didn't even get to the motor way and engine lights started coming up, not even 10 min after pick up!! Went back and now its in for repair again. This company is ridiculous and refuse your basic consumer rights AVOID AVOID AVOID!!!

Avoid Avoid Avoid. Picked up an Astra (WG18 YJS) around October. Finance sorted. 2.5 hour trip each way, done. …or so I thought. Will start with the good. The car was polished. Annnnnnd, now for the bad. Vauxhall Astra, 2018. Supposedly after the LSPI issue had been rectified, automatic too so wasn’t overly concerned. First issue on picking it up was that I couldn’t tax it immediately as it was registered disability tax. Fine. Can fix that (…they should have fixed it, but anyway…). Drove home steadily and carefully as it was new to me. Made it back to Kent ok. Drove to work. Limp mode. 13400 miles on it and around 150 miles of my use approx and I’ve got a £13000 dead car on my hands. After sales support is abysmal. No care whatsoever. Last time I saw that much dead weight it was a whale on a beach. Which later exploded. Sadly, I imagine that these people will cling to their seedy little jobs for all they are worth - god knows nobody else would be crazy enough to employ them. Finally now 4 months later seen that the finance is returned and my nightmare is over. However, WG18 YJS has made a miraculously quick appearance on the sale page again. It’s likely this engine needs complete replacement. If anyone out there is thinking about either using Car World or planning to buy WG18 YJS please, I implore you, think again. This car will be nothing but a headache for you, and Kaz and Saleem are about as much use as a limp widge in a condom. AVOID.

Hi, I can see you've left a bad review for Car world in Peterborough, I had very bad experience with them too and from the reviews can see we are not the only ones. I am messaging all people who had issues with them (after sales) and think maybe if we all get together we can do something in terms of legal actions or at least completely ruin their reputation. Please message me back if you'd be interested. Regards Milena

so much to say but il keep it short. Purchased the car with 12 months MOT. Few days later engine management light came on. a garage said turbo issue. after a full check of the car. 13 faults found. 5 being MOT failures. i think that's enough said about this company. personally i would not buy anything from them again.

Absolute horrific experience from start to finish (although it doesn’t appear to be over as yet). 1st visit: despite a 4 hour round trip , being assured the car would be ready and leaving a £100 deposit the car was not, in fact, ready. I waited over 2 hours in a boiling hot hanger-type building, 7 months pregnant, without even being informed of what was going on, so I left. Steve, Branch Manager, called me to smooth things over and offer me a better deal on the part ex. 2nd visit - I returned and was able to test drive the car. Was at the dealership over 4 hours this time, due to finance taking forever (no issues my side, for clarity, and no indication of what the hold up was). Luckily, although 7 months pregnant still, the heat was bearable. I had my car for 5 days before 2 warning lights appeared. I spoke to the Aftersales Manager, Saleem, who was very defensive, inflexible and rude. Long story short, the workshop ended up keeping my car for over a month with ZERO communication. I called every couple of days, but never got call backs. I emailed in excess of 30 times, but never received replies. Funnily enough, even though it was marked for the attention of the aforementioned Branch Manager, Steve, I never heard back. Perhaps, once the sale had been made, the customer is of greatly diminished importance. When I did speak to Saleem, he continued to be rude and dismissive. I did not receive a report on the work carried out on the car and, despite chasing, have received no communication. I am due to give birth any day, and don’t really need the stress, so having to pass it on to the finance company to chase on my behalf. An absolutely abysmal experience and I wish I had never dealt with them. Horrible people.

We booked to view VU18 LFB, a navy blue Audi A6 Avant. We paid £99 some days beforehand in order to secure the viewing; in various 'phone calls nobody told us that the car had bodywork damage. When we arrived and walked towards the car, it was immediately obvious that the vehicle had been in a collision with either a bollard (scraping along the nearside front wing and door) or another car had scraped along it. Either way, an attempt had been made to polish out the damage but the bodywork was dimpled the damage plain to see. We definitely weren't going to pay £18k + for a damaged vehicle and the lack of transparency meant we wanted to escape ASAP. I would never but a vehicle from Car World. The sales person said 'oh we can arrange for that to be repaired for you' but reviews read beforehand meant that we felt this would never happen, so we declined and left. They didn't offer to knock off any money! Car World did refund the £99 reservation fee pretty quickly (on the next working day) but said they couldn't refund it there and then on the Saturday - I bet they would have found a way to take payment of £18k from us at the weekend though! Funny that.

Paid £20,000 for a Ford Galaxy that supposedly had a 98 point mechanic check but decided to deposit its engine oil all over my block paved drive. Called to be told it would be classed as priority and would be called back within half an hour. Three hours later i ended up ringing again to be told take pictures of driveway and underneath car where oil is coming from. These people don’t care one bit after they have your money. Car supposedly valeted inside but windows and sunroof absolutely filthy. Buyers beware and read the negative reviews first.

How did you managed to get your money back please? I fell into the stupid trap and got a car from them and read the reviews only after I have purchased the car. You can just imagine how much I regret now!

No garage has this many genuine 5 star reviews. Obviously fake or uploaded by staff or their friends and relatives. They are a bunch of cowboys and chief (no pun intended) is Kaz in "after sales". There's a misnomer if I ever heard one. Picked up the car and once home, the service light was on, the AC doesn't work at all and the tyre pressure monitor warning also came the day after. Needless to say, no one there is interested and on the rare occasions I get a response it is to fob me off and point me to weird provisions cunningly tucked away in the small print. Apparently, I declined a service which would be fair except I wasn't told one was needed nor was I asked if I wanted a service. Who buys a car needing a service?! On the topic of services, it transpires the service book is completely empty and I am still chasing for a printout....
