Carsa Bradford - Highly recommended!

We had a great experience with Carsa, Moh from Bradford and the whole team were really welcoming and friendly. We really appreciated being able to test drive the car unaccompanied and under no pressure. There are a range of sales support available including extended warranties, interior protection and alloy insurance. Moh was really transparent about the inspection report and car health checks. We would definitely consider purchasing from Carsa in the future!

Was given a date and time to collect

Was given a date and time to collect a car at their Portsmouth showroom. 15 miles into my journey to collect it I received a phone call to be informed it wasn’t there but 320 miles away in Durham, no explanation, just nothing. They did say sorry.

Don't buy anything from them !!

Don't buy anything from them !!! Especially so called warranty!!! They scammed me for 2000£ . Worst company ever!!! They sale false warrantyes to .
Good Afternoon,

As discussed on Trustpilot, I wanted to email you personally and explain the issues you have been having.

You have referenced our website and said that we claim we offer refunds, but then we do not.

You referenced in your review that within the first 30 days of your policy, you are entitled to a full refund. This is correct, but only for certain products and policies and this is also only if a claim has not been made.

This refund also comes from the place that sold you the warranty e.g. the selling dealer or the finance company, because it is part of the "cooling off" period. This refund would never come from us.

You are not paying us for the warranty monthly, any payments you are making towards this warranty are going to the place you got the car from, whether that be the selling dealer or the finance company.

I have attached your policy documents for this warranty specifically. As you can see, it states under Clause 7.1:

"7.1 Any payments made for this warranty are non-refundable if You decide to cancel it."

As above, the warranty you purchased is non-refundable, therefore we cannot offer you a refund firstly because we have to abide by the policy terms and conditions and secondly because as stated above, you are not paying us the money for it, it's going to the place you purchased it from.

Hopefully this makes sense, however, if it does not, please do come back to me with any questions and your complaint is also being looked into, but I just wanted to explain things further.

Have a great rest of your day.

Billy

We have reviewed the correspondence referenced in your review and would like to clarify that the email quoted was not sent by Carsa.

Brilliant service and lots of support - Moh at Bradford store

Brilliant service and lots of support and information provided from Moh at the Bradford branch of Carsa, we have purchased our son's first car at a fantastic price and condition. I would highly recommend a visit to any store but if you have the opportunity to visit this branch you would be well looked after. Thank you for all your help and assistance, we have a very happy 17 year old!

Very helpful / professional/ patient.

Very helpful,
No pushing to buy a car, very friendly, nothing was to much trouble.
Had a little issue with my test drive, BUT I couldn't fault there dedication to get it right.
Definitely recommend CARSA and the staff are very friendly and professional.
Thank you so much to the gentleman who took me out for my test drive (NISSAN QASHQAI) you remained calm when the car started making funny noises.
Also Catherine for setting everything up for us, I think we drove her manager mad 😅 but she remained very patient and kind.
Name badges would be good so people don't forget names. (Like me)
Customer service was excellent.

Amazing customer service

From the moment we stepped into the reception to the point of finalising the purchase of our new car, we felt completely at ease. Rubel gave us ample time to ask as many questions as we needed and clearly explained all the available options. At no point did we feel pressured. He made the entire process smooth, straightforward, and impressively seamless—all completed within a single day.
