“Very fraudulent and will never follow regulatory procedures. I don't know why FCA and watchdog have not dealt with them. DO NOT BUY FROM THEM”

“Disgusting after sales 8 months on and I'm £210 out of pocket and big motoring world so whatever they wish to avoid their warranty obligations. They hid previous owner's garage report of serious front shock absorber failure and need of replacement. And having with deal with this company for them to honour their warranty obligations they continue to circumvent another requirement at each and every turn. Wish to be queue position 40 on the phone? Be my guest. AVOID AVOID AVOID”

“Disgusting salesman tactics! Sold me full admin fee £299 then over heard the table next to me got free Admin fee, then he also go a free tank of petrol! When I complained to my salesman he said he couldnt do anything. Then within 2 days of having the car the discs and pads needed changing and central locking failed, tried numerous times to sort with BMW but its impossible, they dont pick up the phones, emails they have started ignoring, now taking legal action against them.”

“Never buy a car from Big Motoring World! Why? We bought a 2020 Kia Sportage model vehicle on March 10. We bought the car using a loan, and a discount was made on the sale, which was reflected in the monthly installments as £15. A discount of 15X48 months, i.e. 720 pounds, was made. But later we realized that there was no discount and if we had accepted the first offer, we would have paid more than the market price for the car. We bought their own product, Gard X (paint polish insurance), insure the vehicle. But at the end of the first week, we decided that this insurance was unnecessary and wanted to cancel it. But they said that this insurance was assigned to the vehicle, so they could not cancel it. However, they did not inform us about this before the sale of the vehicle. Before the sale, we were told that the vehicle's 7-year warranty offered by Kia continued for another three years. But after the sale, we learned that since the vehicle had never been to the Kia service, this car was actually largely out of the scope of this warranty. In addition to these problems, we saw that the company whose professionalism we initially trusted did not act professionally at all, and that the service provided quickly and professionally when purchasing the vehicle did not continue after the vehicle was sold. We had difficulty finding an interlocutor throughout the process, and we still have difficulty. Unfortunately, we have completed the sales transaction, which we could have abandoned if we had received accurate information about the Kia warranty and service status before the sale. We later learned that we were deceived and even tricked regarding the price offer. It was a very bad experience for us.”

“I bought a car, that turn out to be damaged and it was repaired. The sales people did not declare and the checks were not done on the car. I’ve been trying to get the faulty parts fixed now for 2 months and 30 emails and endless calls and they have constantly made delays and slowed the process. I feel absolutely scammed by them. Big assist and big motoring world.. the person I’m dealing with Hollie Harris won’t even give me a time frame for when they will approve. It’s a joke and for others to beware.”

“Big Motoring World hid known serious front shock absorber issues when sold to me in August 2023. Their customer support does everything to avoid warranty responsibilities; circumventing 'new' requirements for them to pay / repair on each and EVERY email comms. I've paid for 3 garages to review the car with diagnostics; the booking with big motoring world in 3 months was cancelled 1 week before without any representation of arranging another appointment and have asked me to again get another diagnostics (out of my pocket) - No big motoring world, the car's front shock absorbers haven't miraculously fixed themselves. I am sickened by their disgusting approach. Experienced mirrored when my parents purchased a car from them and when the car's clutch went after 2 weeks (leaving my 75 year old parents stranded), big motoring world continued to do everything they could to avoid paying for the repair, under warranty. It's now March 2024 - 7 months on - and they have still not resolved repairing the front shocks. DISGUSTING TACTICS. DO NOT TOUCH THIS COMPANY.”

“Brought a vehicle. Was told it had new brakes great condition. On drive home tyre pressure came on and my brakes squeaked after getting professional inspection from multiple mechanics Turns out need new tyre and brakes have not been changed and will need changing. Tried contacting motoring world refused repair with warranty. Awful awful company will never shop with them again and will tell everyone I know not to either.”

“Absolutely shocking. Bought a car in January. Paid for the full Big Assist Warranty. Drove it next day and found four electrical faults. Tried calling - no one picks up. Stayed in a queue for hours and then voice said there are no agents available and phone went dead. Went in in person next week and was given a date two months hence for a diagnostic appointment - miles away in Kent. I waited 2 months, took a day off work and drove all the way there. Had to wait two hours to be told there was an electrical fault. Was then emailed next day to say they had an expert coming in the following week to fix the car -what was my availability? I quickly sent them some times I could come - never heard from them again. Sent four reminder emails, nothing. Called, no one picked up. Still driving my car with faults. Shocking.”

“Purchased the vehicle with a fresh MOT day after collection found lots of faults and then find out the engine is overheating and the head gasket has gone. They are refusing repairs. I’m now left with a massive bill for repairs. Disgusting behaviour from a company this big”

“If I could I would give 0 stars. Avoid this company and don’t trust reviews on Trustpilot as they using customers data and write their own 5*reviews. And if you decide to go and buy a car from them anyway, be aware of hidden products which they won’t inform you about They are hidden in documents (which btw they won’t print out for you even if you ask) and they only pass you tablet to sign them. When we tried to read them the sales person always hold the tablet and just said oh this is just this and that and all the time hold the tablet so we couldn’t scroll through them. We only found out when we got home and printed all of them, just to find out that 1 of them we can’t cancel. Customer service 0 points, that would be for a long story - whole experience very bad. Also we saw the advertisement for our old car they are selling now and not everything what they say about it is true. So someone who will buy it will be disappointed.”

“Awful communication - have been trying for days to talk to someone with no joy. No customer service and have cancelled many of their customer service areas. Worst experience of car buying in decades.”

“Paid £600 for the bodywork protection. The info we were given said it excludes bumpers. Unfortunately reversed the car into a skip and there’s a 15 cm dent on the boot with 8cm of paint scratched off. Went to make the claim only to be told the policy doesn’t cover the boot, roof or bonnet! At no point during the sales process were we told this. 8 emails back and forth to customer service and all we get told from the girl is she can’t comment as she wasn’t there when we bought the car (SERIOUSLY!) and that she can’t call Car Protect as she’s not the policy holder. Why would I spend £600 on an insurance that only covers the sides of the car?? BMG acted as a broker, we took the policy out with them and we paid them the money. We’ve taken this to the Insurance Ombudsman. 🤬🤬”

“Appalling experience! We recently enquired about a car which was located over 4 hours from us and after discussing the car with a sales representative on the phone and being reassured by the 3 month warranty and the 200 point check we paid a non-refundable £99 for a 'move the car' service in order to view the car closer to home. We then drove over two hours each way for a pre-booked appointment to view the vehicle. When we arrived the car had not been cleaned, despite the 'Professional valet' promise online - and they'd had the car for several days - the seats were muddy and the windows dirty. The three month warranty turned out not to offer any reassurance whatsoever and didn't cover any major failure on leaving the forecourt, but it did offer a maximum claim of £500 with a £100 excess. We could however purchase a much better warranty for over £1000! We were also not told that the vehicle had advisories on a break disc and it had worn out tyres on the front. On a vehicle with 27K miles we didn't expect to have work completed as soon as we purchased. The sales representative, while perfectly friendly didn't know anything about the vehicle. Is it unrealistic to expect that you should be able to purchase and drive away a vehicle in good working order from this company, that does not need work (tyres and brake discs) to be carried out as soon as purchased? We left saying that we were still very interested and would still be keen to purchase the vehicle if the points raised were resolved. We have heard absolutely nothing. Very disappointing and would not recommend Big Motoring World.”

“Awful experience - avoid buying from this company. Utterly useless after sales and endless issues. Our fault was only rectified after a BMW main dealership came to the rescue and funded a new gear box. Spend your money at a trusted garage, not with Big Motoring World”

“28 days of incompetence and non existent “aftersales service”. No courtesy car, unanswered calls, no managers available ever. Awful experience with awful service, all smoke and mirrors, as for the big assist it’s a scam!. I can’t describe how disappointed I am with the Wimbledon branch, total disregard for customers once they have your money. Managers aren’t available and apparently aren’t at Wimbledon on a Friday!!? Dashcam missing from my car, apparently wasn’t one on the window? My fault for leaving it in!! . I hope this is just another oversight rather than another blatant lie, now a police matter. Needless to say won’t use again.”

“AVOID AVOID AVOID I cannot fault the buying process The issue is the after sales they are shockingly bad We bought the extended warranty and were told we could use any garage When the car went wrong two months after purchase we called to get help, The situation was urgent in that we had a mileage countdown as the adblu was malfunctioning Firstly we were then told that the policy had changed and that we now could not use any garage near to where we live, and that we had to take it to their Garage based in Maidstone, a good hour from where we live we were never told about this change to the policy Then we were told there was a waiting list of nearly 3 months When we challenged this, we were told we would get a call back which never happened. We called again and again we have still been ignored. We are now going to have take the car and pay for the work ourselves we feel we have been mis sold the warranty that is not fit for purpose”
