Didn’t like the whole experience. Would have preferred to just browse vehicles and not go through a question and and session to get through the door. Will be sticking to main dealerships in future.

Staff were friendly and professional and answered any questions that I had. I did find that once car was purchased and paid for in cash, the service seemed a bit lacking. The car itself is very good but needed new wiper blades which I had to mention on the test drive, also after getting the vehicle home and familiarising myself with everything I found that the glove compartment had a lot of biscuit crumbs in, also the complementary case of cleaning equipment was missing it is this lack of detail that will let you down in the future. I returned in the vehicle to have wipers replaced and to pick up the missing items so all ok at present.

My Second purchase, Not as good as the first.

A bit disappointed with the Big motoring world this time around. My overall experience was totally different to what I had the first time.
I paid to transfer the vehicle to Norwich which worked well and it was waiting for me when I got there. However, the vehicle had 0 miles of fuel in the car, I expressed my concerns to the salesman however he assured me we had enough fuel for a test drive??

We made it back from a short test drive because I believe he was worried about the fuel as well.
I agreed to have the vehicle on the basis my part exchange was at a good price.
The salesman didn't really know the company policy of a reduced admin fee if you purchase another vehicle within 12 months. I had to find it on BIGMW website for him.
Once a deal was agreed, I collected my car but stressed to the handover and salesman that I'm not taking the vehicle on 0 miles of fuel.
They said they put 5 litres in for me!! This didn't lift the needle past 0 miles.
The vehicle was not washed at all, also, still had chalk marks on the bodywork during their prep process. I think you only get a wash if you purchase the Gardx protection.

During the test drive I noticed the radio stations were not working but didn't think anything of it.( thought it just needed a re-tune) Got the vehicle home I realised there is a problem. Sent a claim on my warranty app but haven't heard anything since.

Overall, the vehicle is in good condition. However the small details have been lacking for the overall customer experience to be improved.

Hi Tom,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your recent experience did not match the high standards you experienced previously.

We appreciate your comments regarding fuel levels, vehicle preparation, and handover. Vehicles should always be ready for collection, including sufficient fuel, cleanliness, and attention to detail, and it’s clear that on this occasion these aspects fell short. We also apologise for any confusion around our policies and for the issues with the radio and warranty claim follow-up.

Your feedback has been shared with branch management so that vehicle preparation, handover processes, and communication around aftercare and warranty can be reviewed and improved. We’re pleased to hear that overall the vehicle is in good condition, but we agree that attention to these small details is important for a positive customer experience, and we will work to improve in these areas.

Thank you again for bringing this to our attention.

Kindest Regards,
Big Motoring World

initial experience was good, then not so good

initial experience was good, nice and professional. Then the salesman tried to upsell cleaning products and warranties and it turned into an unpleasant experience, quickly. I thought those days were gone, but sadly not in this case.
They also only leave about 10 miles of fuel in the car.. it would be a nice touch to put some in so that my first experience leaving isn't desperately searching for a petrol station..

Great experience all round

This was quite honestly a great experience from start to finish. From sales to finance and then collections, everyone was so down to earth and a pleasure to speak to. So good in fact, I might just sell my new car to do it all again!!

Thomas was the salesman I dealt with

Thomas was the salesman I dealt with. Very thorough with explaining all things needed to know when buying the car. Was no pressure tactics when he was trying to sell me the extended warranty and other extras.
Left the showroom happy in my new car.

Good range of cars but really poor warranty with cover and length. Very inexperienced worker drove us out of the yard for a test drive and nearly skidded into three cars!
Little known about an individual car i had booked an appointment to view. I ended up going to a local dealer where they could provide a 3 year warranty with full service history for a very similar price.

Hi Abi,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Your experience with what you have detailed falls well below par with what we expect from the staff here at Big Motoring World and is not what we would want any of our customers to experience. We certainly would not wish for our customers to leave feeling as you did.

I will be sure to pass on your comments to the relevant persons who will ensure that training is implemented where necessary.

Car purchased!

It was really simple to reserve a car on the website. Staff were really friendly but they did try too hard to sell you an extended warranty and car paint protection.
I did my research and knew what we wanted to look at so the process was simple. We did drive home with a car.
I reserved 2 cars and paid 2 refundable deposits of which one was returned straight away (the car that we purchased). I am still waiting for the other one to be returned to me even after a week has passed by. Big motoring world are not taking any responsibility to aid the return of the deposit, I just have to wait for the transaction to expire which I'm not to happy about.

All in all we are happy that we have purchased a car that we like. Price was fair, process was good. I would overall recommend looking for a car with them.

Reserved a car online and then travelled 3hours then was shown a car that wasn’t ready to drive away as stated.It was dirty and all the seatbelts where furry with mould and there where paint chips on the boot lid and a cigarette burn on the back seat.also there was a warning on the dash that it needed a service. Then to finish off they offered me the bottom end of the estimate for my trade in even though it was in better condition than the one I was buying.They would not negotiate any price reduction or increase the price of my trade in so I left and bought a car from another garage on my way home.

Hi Emma,

I am so sorry to hear that you are disappointed with the condition of your vehicle. All of our cars are valeted once when they leave our preparation centre, and once before the new customer takes it away. Unfortunately, we cannot commit to cleaning cars prior to viewings because of the number of cancellations we have.

We are also sorry about your disappointment with the part exchange price. Our valuation can depend on many factors, and we do value our part exchanges slightly differently to some dealerships, as the majority of cars do go to auction.

I do apologise for the disappointment that this has caused.

Kindest regards,
Big Motoring World

Mini Purchase Mid-December

So I ordered a mini from the London location to the Norwich location back in mid December. The vehicle was scheduled to arrive on a Sunday and I arrived at the dealership on Monday. Just to make sure it would have arrived. When I asked the receptionist if my vehicle that I reserved had made it, they didn’t see it. With some further assistance, it was located but on the lot without the reservation. When I test drove it, it still had a big windshield sticker on it which made it hard to drive and see. Also both tires on the front had low tread on them but the left side more than the right. I had asked for the tires to be replaced after making sure I had the purchase. The manager or someone in supervision said they can replace only one of the tires and it would be the left one as it did show low. They would place the order and let me know when the tire arrives. I still haven’t heard or received an email from the dealer so I have already replaced them. In addition, when I received the vehicle it had only 1 mile of gas in as I was told by the financial agent handing me the keys and I would need to head over to the gas station to fuel it up. This whole car buying experience was horrible and a bunch of inconveniences. Never would have happened in the USA.
