Cars with endless issues and horrific customer service

Potential buyers please take note! Every good review here and on Google is forced on the spot at the moment of purchase. The begging for reviews and pressure into paying for scammy extras is hilariously awful. The after-sales team is completely incompetent, do not answer any emails or the phone, carry out faulty repairs, and frankly don’t care about you at all. Going through the vehicle quality complaint process currently with our finance provider and soon afterwards the Financial Ombudsman, and will be reporting these charlatans to Trading Standards, too. If you rely on your car in any way, do not purchase it from here.

Disgraceful

You request my details, I sent them and still nothing. The situation has been emailed and explained at least 5 times and yet noone with any authority replies, same old answer, "I will look into it and get back to you" still waiting for that come back.
Disgraceful, disgusting.

poor management.

if you’re planning to come here for a car, clear your plans for the day and ring up to make sure the car has MOT ready to leave….
i arrived just before 10:30am and did not leave until 8:15pm, i rang 4 days prior to make sure the car was all okay, got there and the car had a month of MOT left though it was advertised with a full year fresh MOT. i waited 6 hours for its MOT.
everyone that we personally spoke to was very pleasant, very apologetic but the management of this place is shocking.
the car i got is lovely and everything was provided with the car as requested, MOT and service history, paperwork was printed out and ready to sign so that was helpful.
i was also not the only one that had problems with the waiting process.

5 stars for young sales man Mehraz who was extremely courteous (well done Mehraz's mum) throughout the whole sale. He would not be baited and remained professional throughout, and I left with the BMW convertible my wife wanted. He was patient, asked the right questions, very polite and knowledge, he has an extremely great career in front of him and I would recommend people ask for him when they are looking for a car. He kept hes promises and even communciated when not at work. (Aslo thank you Megan for the final documentation handover). Well done guys!!

Thank you so much for such a fantastic five star review! We absolutely loved reading your kind words about Mehraz and are delighted to hear what a positive impression he made throughout your experience.

It’s wonderful to hear that Mehraz remained courteous, patient and professional from start to finish. We’re especially pleased that he asked the right questions, was knowledgeable and made sure you felt comfortable throughout the sale. The fact that he kept his promises and even kept you updated when he was not at work really shows the level of commitment he puts into looking after his customers.

We’ll certainly make sure your lovely comments are passed on to Mehraz and his mum too! We’re sure they’ll both be very proud. It’s fantastic to hear that you were able to leave with the BMW convertible your wife wanted, and we’re delighted that Mehraz played such an important part in making that happen.

We also really appreciate you mentioning Megan and her help with the final documentation handover. We’ll make sure she receives your thanks as well.

Thank you for recommending Mehraz so highly. We’re sure he’ll be thrilled to hear that you believe he has a great career ahead of him. Well done to the whole team, and we hope you and your wife enjoy many fantastic journeys in the BMW convertible! 🚗😊

I brought a car on Saturday the 29th of August 2026.After only three days,the clutch pedal was shuddering when you pull away in first gear.I called five times and was given five different stories of what to do.Saba assisted me finally but the earliest date to bring it back to their mega centre in Enfield was the 29th of September 2026.So we are now stuck without a car for another four weeks.Totally unacceptable and totally let down by Car Planet.If they value my custom,they will get me a quicker appointment next week?

Reply from Car Planet

We’re sorry to hear how frustrated and disappointed you have been with the situation. We completely understand that being without your car for several weeks is not ideal, particularly when the issue arose only a few days after your purchase.

We do aim to resolve vehicle concerns as quickly as possible and always look to provide alternative solutions where we can. We understand that you were eventually assisted by Saba, and we appreciate your patience while trying to arrange the next steps.

We have also been informed that you were provided with the flexibility to have the work carried out elsewhere, giving you an alternative to waiting for the appointment at our Mega Centre in Enfield. We understand that you advised that the garages you approached declined to carry out the work, which is why this alternative unfortunately did not provide the solution you were hoping for.

We are sorry that you have been left in this position and appreciate how inconvenient it is. We will always aim to support our customers and find the most practical solution available where possible.

Kind regards,
Car Planet

DO NOT GO NEAR THIS PLACE

What a shocking place. Do not purchase a vehicle from these deceitful people. The whole atmosphere of the place is corrupt. The hard sell is offensive. I am now looking to return a vehicle I purchased (inexplicably) due to too many issues. Totally ignored post purchase promises. No Customer Service. I anticipate a legal struggle. Do not buy a vehicle here. If I could give no stars I would.

Stay away!

Our experience was awful. The aftersales team is a disgrace! They sold me a car which wouldn't start after a day. (It also had been in a accident, I had the proof from our local garage).They tried to delay the whole process and wouldn’t even listen to me when I was asking for a refund which after a while they decline. I had to get court advice and with the correct proof etc they had no choice but apologise and refund me. It was a very stressful time .Stay away from them. Yes the sales team is very friendly of course! But remember that they're the ones selling you lies. Don't be fooled by them! Like I said, the aftersales team is a joke! STAY AWAY!

Warranty warning, warranty does not include diagnostics..

Warranty warning.

Please be advised we were sold a rac warranty by Angel at Watford Car Planet. The warranty does not cover diagnostics so you will still have to pay high fees to find out what is wrong with a car before you can claim on the warranty. We were sold a Platinum warranty for £2000.

We were charged £2000 for the warranty. When we bought the car we were told it would have a pre delivery inspection. We took it straight for a full service. It was discovered it needed brake pads, a new battery and the air con was not charged. It was dirty. Please don't distort what happened. We were put through a very rigorous sales pitch to have the warranty whereby we were told it covered absolutely everything and would never need to worry. That wasn't true. It took weeks to get the initial repairs done and a lot of admin by us. Now we are faced with another light on the dashboard and told we have to pay for very expensive diagnostics by the warranty chosen garage. At a cost of double a normal diagnostic. We have contacted the warranty provider and car planet every day for a week and they make excuses. Aftersales say go to sales, sales say go to aftersales. Angel promised to ring us back that day, she didn't, then we are told she's not in work for days and put through to lines that ring out. The warranty was not complimentary, it cost £2000. We were also given a very low part ex on our pristine car. Get your facts straight before you post in public.

Reply from Car Planet

We’re sorry to see your concerns regarding the warranty. However, we would like to clarify a few points based on our records.

Looking at the records, we can see that the vehicle was purchased more than a year ago, back in early 2025. We also understand your comments regarding diagnostic fees, but these are commonly charged separately by warranty providers and are generally the responsibility of the customer when a vehicle requires investigation to establish the cause of a fault.

We would also like to clarify that the warranty mentioned in your review was provided to you as a complimentary warranty through Car Planet. As such, the concerns raised regarding the specific terms and diagnostic charges relate to the warranty provider and its policy rather than the way Car Planet operates.

We’re sorry if there has been any misunderstanding regarding the warranty and what it covers, but we hope this helps provide some clarification.

Kind regards,
Car Planet
