Only if you hate yourself...

Two cars, four months of endless aggravation, wasted time and money — and I’m now taking Big Motoring World to court.

I have a full 10-page documented chronology, including diagnostic reports, repair quotations, photographs and correspondence, which I am happy to provide to Trustpilot if this review is challenged.

**Buy at BIG Motoring World if you really hate yourself (and expect a BIG disappointment) — otherwise, avoid like the plague.**

11/08/26 - Requesting Trustpilot to allow me to share evidence of my experience, so others don’t fall into the same trap.

17/08/26 - Check my Google review for photos of the evidence.

21/08/26 - I’ve added a couple more photos to the Google review, and I’ll keep adding more until these guys wake up.

24/08/26 - added 2 RAC reports

Hi Shay,

We are sorry to read that you feel your experience with us has fallen so far short of your expectations. We take concerns regarding the condition and reliability of our vehicles very seriously, and we regret the frustration, time and expense you say this situation has caused.

We note your comments regarding the two vehicles and the documentation you have compiled. As you have indicated that legal proceedings are now being pursued, it would not be appropriate for us to comment publicly on the specific circumstances or matters that may be subject to those proceedings.

We are, however, committed to engaging through the appropriate channels and providing any information required as part of that process. We would also be happy to review any outstanding concerns through our customer service team where appropriate.

We are sorry that your experience has led to this level of dissatisfaction and appreciate you taking the time to provide your feedback.

Kindest Regards,

Extremely disappointing experience

Extremely disappointing experience

I used Big Motoring World’s online valuation for my car and was quoted £3,200–£4,100 depending on its condition.

I travelled 4 hours there and back because I had my heart set on one of their cars.

I sat down with the salesman, only to be offered £1,800 — without him even looking at my car or checking its condition!

Why advertise a valuation range of £3,200–£4,100 if you’re not even remotely prepared to honour it?

A complete waste of 4 hours of my time, and an incredibly disappointing way to treat a potential customer. I was in a position to buy the car, but the experience has completely put me off.

Needless to say, I won’t be buying from Big Motoring World and I certainly won’t be recommending them.

Hi Samantha,

We’re sorry to hear about your experience and understand why you were disappointed, particularly after making a four-hour round trip with the intention of purchasing one of our vehicles.

Our online valuation is an initial estimate based on the information provided and is subject to a physical assessment of the vehicle and other factors before a final part-exchange value can be confirmed. However, we appreciate your frustration if the valuation you received online was significantly different from the figure discussed in branch.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

Mixed experience

Initial sales staff member was super helpful and informative, really went the extra mile to make a deal work for us!
Other members of the team were super attentive, checking in to see if we needed anything during our wait times.
We were however disappointed with the handover of the vehicle. After being told that it was going to be valeted and having the protective coating applied the vehicle was presented to us covered in swirl marks, with water marks, bird poo on it still and dirty wheels. When this was flagged with the member of the team handing the vehicle over he seemed irritated that we’d noticed it and that we wanted the details seen too before leaving. I had to send the vehicle back twice and even after that cleaned some of the marks off myself. It was a very underwhelming end to what had been a really positive experience so far.

Hi Zoe,

Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We’re really pleased to hear that your experience with our sales team was so positive, and that they went the extra mile to help make the deal work for you. It’s also great to hear that the wider team were attentive and made sure you were looked after during your wait.

That said, we’re genuinely sorry that the vehicle handover fell so far short of the standard we expect. Having been assured that the vehicle would be valeted and have its protective coating applied, it should absolutely have been presented to you in an immaculate condition. The presence of swirl marks, water marks, bird droppings and dirty wheels is clearly not acceptable, particularly at the point of collection.

We’re equally disappointed to hear that you felt your concerns were met with irritation and that you had to return the vehicle twice, only to still have to remove some of the marks yourself. We completely understand your frustration, especially after such a positive experience with the rest of the team.

We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and will be using your feedback with the team to ensure both the preparation of vehicles and the handover experience are handled to the standard our customers should expect.

Thank you again for your honest feedback, and we hope that despite this disappointing experience at handover, you’re enjoying your new vehicle.

Kindest Regards,
Big Motoring World

This company treats its customers with…

This company treats its customers with complete contempt!
Its pointless booking an appointment time as the reps who you sit down with have no prior knowledge of why you're there, they even book you appointments for a time 30 minutes before they open, meaning they expect you to sit around wasting your time.
The trade in values they offer are insulting. The car we took has since been traded in as part exchange at another outlet for a car at nearly 4k more than these jokers offered.
Its no wonder this outlet has changed hands so many times over the years.
Stay clear unless you enjoy having your pants taken down and paying for the privilege.

Hi Eden,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience fell so far short of the standard we aim to provide.

We understand your frustration regarding the appointment arrangements and the trade-in valuation, particularly if you felt your time was wasted and the valuation did not reflect what you believed the vehicle was worth. We’d like to look into the circumstances behind your visit, including the appointment timing and how the valuation was reached.

We’re unable to discuss individual customer details publicly, but if you’re willing to contact us directly with your details, we’d be happy to review what happened and address your concerns with the relevant team.

We appreciate your feedback and are sorry that we left you with such a negative impression.

Kindest Regards,
Big Motoring World

Awful place

Honestly. This place puts the motor industry to shame. It's a cattle market, you are herded in and out with very little dignity. I went with the intention of buying a car today, i'd paid the £99 deposit and it would have been a formality but the attitude of the Salesman turned a hit into a miss. He knew nothing about the car, he made me feel like he was doing me a favour in taking the car out for a test drive, there was no effort to engage and sell the car and at the end he just parked the car and walked off. I've bought 2 cars previously from Car Giant and although that was far from perfect it made this place look amateurish. Seriously, buy your next car from someone that actually cares about selling cars.

Hi Ben,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are truly sorry to hear that your recent visit did not meet your expectations and that you felt the service you received was unsatisfactory.

We sincerely apologise for the attitude of the sales team member and the impression that they were not engaged or knowledgeable about the vehicle. We aim to provide a respectful and helpful experience for all our customers, and it's clear we fell short in your case. Your comments about feeling rushed and the lack of engagement are concerning, and we assure you that this is not the standard of service we strive to deliver.

We understand your disappointment, especially having made a deposit with the intention of purchasing a car. We have shared your feedback with the management team to address these issues and ensure our team provides a more attentive and professional service.

Kindest Regards,
