Factory sales. You only matter to them until you sign the contract. After-sales service does not exist. Lies, lies and more lies. Minutes after leaving them, two lights came on: check engine & tire pressure. I wasted a total of 8 hours waiting to hear that the sensor is faulty and have to order a new one. Two weeks later - no contact. The car lacks functions such as: Apple Carplay - despite the description on the website, the seller assures, twice confirmed by the service. When I asked a technician to show the function, he said he had to read the entire manual and would do it next time. At the next visit, the seller said that they were not the ones who made the descriptions on the website, so it was not their problem, and I signed that I checked everything - jokers! So they are not responsible for the description of the car on their website, they are not responsible for what the seller says - if you buy a car, you have to check all the functions yourself! This was and is the worst experience in buying a car. Never again - better go to authorized showrooms, because in this place only sales count - not you.

Avoid at all costs. I arrived at Big Motoring World to purchase a car we saw on their website. We had appointment booked and still waited for 1 hour as they short of staff (a lot of the young staff look fed up working there) Eventually we got to view car for 2 mins and test drive (is so short too) and sales person keeps talking so cannot listen out for noises coming from engine or suspension. Pushy sales staff made us agree to buy the car then and there. We were then asked about optional extras to which we said no, were not interested but the pushy sales person said he will talk us through as managers are watching him on camera. We pointed out about the spec of the car which again we had already seen online which didn’t match the car. At this point we wanted to just pay and drive car home. Instead we were given a car care (Gardx) sales pitch which we didnt want but had to do and then again for gap insurance and when we repeatedly said no were not interested, were met with multiple why statements and scare tactics about car crashes. Over 3 HOURS LATER we are fed up of the going off for 10 minutes into the office area each time. The floor manager about the experience we had and he returned with saying were FCA approved and this takes time and how he worked for multiple dealerships where 3 hours is normal instead of listening to the customer experience and taking on the feedback to improve. Ive bought multiple cars over the years and this was so unnecessary. He kept giving sale pitch after sale pitch through trying to push overpriced GAP insurance and warranted products (any issues with vehicle you need to take to Kent head office) - lots of complaints about BigAssist and the cars breaking down. Salesperson kept being pushy and sales coordinator wanted to give scare tactics. After numerously saying I dont want the extras I just want the car and no being heard, we reluctantly paid for car and made to sign numerous disclaimers. Had to agree car has 1 key and details shown on their website could be incorrect regarding spec and number of former keepers and V5 is not available to view until handover which can take another 1 or 2 hours. Finally they decide to call us into the office informing that there is no V5 and forcing to take v62 form. I explained I cannot tax this vehicle using this form and they said take to post office tomorrow and take the without road tax which is illegally. Overall stressful situation The cars ex lease or hire cars they purchased at auction and many don’t have v5 logbook. This car dealership cannot be trusted rebranded. They refused to refund even though I didn’t receive cars. I was then made to email to which got no response and then chased for days and days until they agreed to refund. Staff were rude on the phone and hanged up several times. I had to tell them I would take legal action if I was unable to get refund and then they still said the court would ask them to refund my money. Big Motoring and - All same push sales tactics and unprofessional staff. Big Motoring World are run by cowboys wanting to just make profit. The staff are rude and cars Do not be fooled by big office and milkshakes. They offer £10 voucher for positive reviews. Please do not believe them reviews as those customers would have had issues after writing review.

Went to the new show room in Peterborough and was sold a car very helpful but once you got the car is another mater I was told I would have the spare key come in the post with the logbook once the logbook turned up with no key I rang them I was told no key and I had signed for it nothing they could do rude and a aftersales that doesn’t care I will not buy from them again and I am putting up posters in my works canteen informing over 400 of my colleagues to stay away if I can stop one person from buy from them that’s the cost of a key

Terrible company, sold me a car with faults without disclosing before then refused to help when I contacted them within the 3 month warranty and even accused me of causing the faults. Heard many people said they had been sold faulty cars and refused help. Obvious scammers

So did I. I just bought an Audi A6 from big motoring world just month ago and noticed some mechanical faults outright after purchase. Despite several email correspondence and fone conversation they have not practically done anything to repair. They also refused Audi diagnostic centre report of issues. So Im definitely going to refuse and return this back and claim refund ASAP under right to reject under the Consumer Rights Act if the car is unfit for purpose, of unsatisfactory quality or not as described. You can ask for a repair or replacement, but you're not obliged to accept one and can insist on a full refund, which the dealer will be legally obliged to give.

Good selection of cars and all the ones I looked at had full history. Think they were ex pool cars so mostly motorway millage too.

I bought my car from here less than a month ago, 4 years old with 30,000 miles on the clock, fast forward 3 weeks my car won’t start. Big motoring worlds after sales team don’t work on the weekend which is very funny when they have a full team of pre sale employees who do ready take your money. I called up to be told my car can’t be fixed by them until 4 weeks time end of December which is an outrage because unless you’re privileged enough to have a second car isn’t possible at all. I need my car for work which they came back to and said you can get this done by a local garage. Luckily Halfords were able to help which came to 300 quid. I have 3 month warranty on this car which I got told repeatedly is a (gesture of good will from these money grabbers) but what’s my £200 admin fee for then? The sales rep done nothing for getting my car! This dirty company offered to give me £128 for my repairs which was a sensory issue nothing from my end. For a job that cost 300 quid al because it had to be done from a different garage. I wouldn’t need to if I didn’t have to wait 4 weeks to get my car fixed for your issue!. Now who expects having a car for less than a month you’d have to spend an extra 180 on repairing it. Honestly anyone looking for a new car do not come to this place they are so happy to take your money but when it comes to paying and being fair they lack none of it. Tell me honestly how you don’t have a after sales team on the weekend m. It’s such poor customer service you money grabbers. I’m happy for you to reply because I can carry on for hours big motoring world I’ve provided my plate for you to know exactly who I am. Anyone who has any questions please ask I’m more than happy to tell you why this is horrific
