Aftercare service is shocking
Aftercare service is shocking. Can’t get through to anyone via telephone. Had AI response to the chat. Emails are ignored.
I’d just like to speak to someone to deal with my query.
I will update this review once the issue has been resolved.

My first experience with Carsa…
This was my first experience with Carsa and overall it was smooth and straightforward. Booked a test drive online and bought the car the day after. Staff were all friendly and happy to help. Rahim was great, quick to respond to messages and managed a quick turnaround for me.
I’d be happy to use Carsa again in future

Serious lack of communication as car…
Serious lack of communication as car had not even arrived at the location on the agreed test drive appointment and i was not contacted and informed on time. Staff were very uninterested and lacked communication between themselves being three of them. Important parts were missing from vehicle that were not even mentioned and found out after bringing car home. Very very slow transaction at their branch wasted so much of our time. Told us car was ready to be driven away but as we got there their 2 others cars were blocking and they could not even find the keys so wasted another 10minutes whilst my 1 hour temporary car insurance had started. One in particular Rude staff member. Been to several car dealerships and this is my first time i have come across such staff who appeared interested and clueless most of the time.

Dear Customer,
Thank you for choosing Carsa and for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience was so disappointing, particularly around the communication regarding your test drive and the delays you experienced at the branch.
We appreciate how frustrating it must have been to travel for an arranged appointment only to find the vehicle had not arrived, and then experience further delays when collecting the car. We’re also sorry to hear that you felt the communication between the team was lacking and that you encountered issues with missing items and the vehicle handover.
We will look into the concerns you have raised internally, including the appointment arrangements, communication, vehicle preparation and handover process, as well as the customer service you received from the branch team.
Thank you again for being a Carsa customer and for bringing this to our attention. We’re sorry that your experience did not reflect the standard of service we aim to provide.

Terrible from start to finish
Terrible from start to finish. Staff in the dealership tried their best but despite that we encountered the following issues:
Booked to collect the car the following day with head office and were assured the car would be clean and ready. Arrived at out local dealership and they had no knowledge of our booking. Car was not ready so had to wait for 2.5 hours to buy our car. During this time the car was valeted twice as it was not done properly and still had marks on it. Excuse given was the valeted are contracted and not employed directly by Carsa. I’m fail to understand how this is acceptable as it is a service Carsa provide, contracted or otherwise!!
Upon getting the vehicle home noticed the door card on drivers doorof our 23k car had been removed and not refitted properly. Returned to the dealership and was assured someone will contact me to arrange a repair. Still waiting!!!!!!’

Dear Carl,
Thank you for choosing Carsa and for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the collection of your vehicle was so frustrating, particularly after being assured it would be ready and clean for your arrival.
We appreciate how disappointing it must have been to experience such a long wait and then discover an issue with the driver's door card after getting the vehicle home. We’re also sorry that you have been left waiting for contact regarding the repair.
We will look into the concerns you have raised internally, including the collection arrangements, vehicle preparation and the outstanding repair communication.
