Purchased vehicle from this company when they first started, brilliant service faultless. They even tried to pay us full money back until I told them it was theirs. But honesty has not paid of in this instance. Purchased another vehicle from them and had to jump through various hoops but got there in the end. This car was sold as warranted until 2023 but we discovered that service they have done was brake fluid change only, resulting in vehicle warranty being void, due to time scale. We had to return this vehicle as due to it being diesel which has an RDF filter, which clogged up within two weeks mechanic had to drive it over eighty miles to clear it. So kindly Cazoo accepted it back. Purchased another vehicle from them cash payment as only way we could do this to be able to hand first car back. So now out of pocket nearly £30,000 pounds. Received vehicle to discover after picking it up that it has been in some kind of mishap, as underneath vehicle caked with mud rock solid, complete new sill replacement on drivers, side scuff plate missing,tyre pressure plate missing and masking tape underneath vehicle from repair. Doubtful on history of this vehicle took it back within the seven day period. Picked another one from them paid more money as still no money back from others yet, less than twenty four hours before pick up telephone call from local Cazoo garage, to say driver unable to deliver in morning due to illness, would be delivered two days later. Three hours later telephone call from Cazoo this time to inform me that vehicle won’t be delivered tomorrow due to damage on bumper. Have had enough deceit and lies from them have cancelled now. Leaving a couple of old age pensioners car less now and also £30,600 our savings with Cazoo so cannot even purchase alternative vehicle elsewhere, until we get some money back. What makes matters worst the first vehicle is now back on website advertising manufactures warranty 2023 when void and also advertised at lower mileage than when we returned it.

"Absolute Shambles & Discrimination"

I had a terrible experience with this company. Applied to buy a car. After a couple of days in calls with their customer service and their finance company, Evolution Finance, everything was fine, collection was booked for the next day, they sent me an email saying that I only needed to tax the car and activate the 7 day temp insurance. I sold my car, was ready and the family excited for the new car. But that same day I receive a call saying that the finance company needed one more check, nothing more than a 5 minute call. When I call them they say that they can't accept my full european driving license, it can only be a full UK DL. They knew from day one my DL was European and when I sent the proof it was accepted. I call again, costumer service apologise, said there was a confusion and that I just needed to reapply, the finance company would call me again. When the finance company calls they continue saying that actually there was no confusion, they can only accept full UK DL, that I have been in the UK for so long I should have changed my DL to UK already. I actually should have not, as my European DL is valid, more than 30 years, no reason to do so. They insisted that without a UK DL we could not go ahead. I was left without my deposit (it is being refunded, but now I need a car urgently, as I sold mine) having to cancel the road tax, having to cancel the temp insurance and with the emotional distress. Going to make a formal complaint! Never again!

Roy in response to Absolute Shambles & Discrimination

Unfortunate scenario and I do feel for you, you should have been told that the Licence was not permitted. After 3 years using a non-UK Driving Licence, you must rescind this and obtain a UK one. If I were you I’d speak with your insurance company (presuming you now have an alternative vehicle) to ensure you have not invalidated their terms.

Where do I start! Incompetent, left hand right hand, don’t return calls, took money out of my account illegally, sent me numerous emails that were incorrect, out the car I originally bought back on the web site the day after I bought it! For less money! Spent many ours on the phone, only to get nowhere! Now will have to spend hours on the phone trying to get my money back that they took illegally! Theft!! Don’t be fooled by their tv adverts!

I bought a car here. From start to finish poor execution and stressful experience. My car was told it would be delivered then just two days before I was told there was problems with it and it needed a new MOT, tires were worn and needed painting?! This was after the car was sold to me. On delivery (5 days late) many things wrong (not reported on the website) and obvious they sold me a car they had overvalued. I spent over 17k! Was told I would get someone to come back to me to resolve however still waiting and my 7 day return expires in 2 days.

Very poor communication, everytime you contact them, they say only a certain member can deal with your enquiry and that they will contact you via phone but never do they just send you an email, with very little info on it, I wouldn’t recommend using this company, they come across professional but they are very much the opposite

"A total shambles! No money and no car!"

Resolving issues

Without doubt the worst customer service I have ever encountered. They give the impression of caring, and dress up the service to look good from the outside, but the moment something goes wrong or needs doing, it all falls apart. Here's a list of my issues: 1) The car I collected had no fuel. I know I should have checked this before driving off, but minutes before doing so a member of staff had assured me they provide at least a quarter of a tank. There were fumes at best. The needle was below the red and the range was below zero, showing "--". Luckily I noticed fairly quickly and could limp to a petrol station. 2) There was a service warning light on the car. They told me it had just been serviced by them, but if it had, why was the service light on? There was no record in the car that a recent service had been performed, with the previous one showing > 12 month previous. 3) Despite them listing the car as having "service documents", the only document was a fresh Cazoo-headed printed slip of paper listing the historical service dates. No detail of what was done, and not exactly proof of anything. 4) When I rang to bring up these items, I was told I would be called back. This didn't happen. Twice. 5) When I finally made contact with someone who seems to want to help, they did refund me £50 for the fuel, but also said they would book the car in at a garage to have the service issue checked. This didn't happen, despite 2 follow-up calls by me. 6) I decided to return the car before the 7 day period was up. This wasn't just due to the issues above, but by now I had lost faith in Cazoo. They said they would contact me to arrange collection. They didn't call. 7) When I made contact with them again, I was told collection would happen the following day between 10 and 12. The time came, and no collection and no contact from them. I called again, and was told there was an issue, but they couldn't tell what it was, and would call me back. They didn't call me back. 8) I called again, twice, and was finally told the logistics team were at fault, and they would re-book collection for the following day. Hallelujah, this time the collection actually happened. 9) Following collection, I heard nothing from them. They had my part-ex car, and my money, and I had nothing to show for it. So again I called and asked when the refund might happen. I was told it had been requested and would be with me in 2-3 days. 10) 2 days later, given the issues above, I thought I would preemptively enquire how it was going. I was told there was an issue with the refund, but they couldn't tell what the issue was, so they would call me back. I pointed out that I was used to hearing this, so could they please make sure this actually happened. They did not call back. 11) I called again and was told that yes, there had been an issue with the refund because the collection driver did not sign something he should have signed. They said (again) that the refund has been requested and would be with me 2-3 days. 12) I'm exhausted, and I still have no money and no car.

Trust, like the soul, never returns once it is gone Don't waste your time and money. I lost my trust in Cazoo I ordered a BMW X3 for £23.000 on Monday at 11:00 am without seeing and just trusting the Cazoo and then scheduled to collect it on Friday 3th of September. I received a call and email on Wednesday at 5:30 pm which is quite late notice with telling; During our final checks before your collection on 3/9 at 5 pm, we have discovered a repair that is required to ensure the car meets our high standards. Due to this, we will be unable to hand over your car at the planned time. I give a call to the call centre and waited 20 mins to connect then no one has any idea what needs to be repaired exactly, what needs to be repaired or when it is going to be available to collect. So the situation is you trust a brand and buy a second-hand car without seeing it and then you realize they absolutely don't know anything about the car they posted. I was told my refund will be in my account within 2 working days, It has been 2 days I am still waiting. I also missed another car posted yesterday while waiting for a refund.

It is hard to describe the gap between what Cazoo promises and what they deliver. Story begins with Cazoo forgetting the car they should be delivering across the country and just realising that 10 minutes before while we are waiting excited to receive our first car with a plan and booking we have already made for a get away from London. (Big Mistake 1) There is no way that we are getting the car on that weekend and we asked for a courtesy car. Cazoo spend hours to find a car but didn't call us back after each call so we had to call them again. By the way it was the sunniest day in London in this year, and all of us including our friends had to spend half of the day inside waiting for a resolution from Cazoo. After hours, they told us they booked the manual, but our driving licenses are on automatic cars and they knew it. After some time someone from Europcar called us, it was 11:15 and they told us that if we can catch them before they close mid day they have a car for us. When we get there, we realised that Cazoo tried to booked the cheapest possible option (Mistake 2), that is what Europcar employee told us, but they couldn't as it was all rented, they were offering an SUV (Great) but no one told us we have to bring a valid actual bank account credit card, we only had Revolut or Monzo on us, and even though we offered many options, we couldn't get the car. When we called Cazoo, they told us they weren't aware of this issue. (Mistake 3) So we had to go back to our flat, Cazoo was still looking for a resolutioon and couldn't understand why we couldn't get the car. Eventually we didn't get the car for weekend and finally they offered us a reimbursement if we can arrange a rental car on our own as they couldn't. We only could find zipcar flexes and due to their expensive hourly booking nature Cazoo offered £300 on Sunday, after we have already cancelled all our plans. We just booked the car for couple of hours and return to our house as we were tired of talking with Cazoo and we had no other plan. They delivered the car on Tuesday, couple of things didn't go perfect like the person who delivered the car couldn't open the hood. We didn't have an extra key, there was no extra tire in the car only a quick fix equipments, but this was the best experience we had with Cazoo so far. It doesn't end here no, there is a catch, a big one. Cazoo tells you you can get the car and test it for 7 days, but they never mention you cannot drive the car at all because it is illegal to drive an untaxed car in UK even for half a mile. And to be able to get the tax first you need to get v5c to get v5c you need to tell Cazoo that you are holding the car. Did you get the trick? Until you buy the car fully, you cannot drive it at all, and if you drive it and get caught you can go to jail, simple! And this is the biggest false advertising I have ever seen in my life, shame on you Cazoo, (Big Mistake 4) So we parked the car in front of our house, we tried to sort out everything on our own, Cazoo never helped about what we should do after buying the car, even though we called their customer nearly everyday, every each time they promised that they would resolve the issue and they will update us on every each step. Even a week after getting the, we still couldn't get the first promise of reimbursement for the car we rented from Zipcar as courtesy car. There are no followups of each step, we couldn't resolve even a single issue with Cazoo. There are just false promises and trying to sort it out like replies. For a company that sells cars and forgetting one across the other end of the country, not finding a courtesy car, not being able to resolve a reimbursement request in a week, sounds like an achievement. With Cazoo, none of your issues are going to get resolved I promise (Big Mistake 5) On top of everything there was a tear on the left seat which is not shown in imperfections, the windscreen cleaners were noisy, there was a half cigarette package stuck under left front seat, during covid times this is not acceptable (Big Mistake 6)
