Cons:

  • "Also when the car was handed over it wasn't clean at all I had to pay for a valet service to get unit up to standard."
  • "The Argos of car showrooms. You are not allowed to browse round the cars. Cars are behind metal fencing."
  • "Avoid Big Motoring Company at all costs, car I picked up had incorrectly inflated tyres as I left showroom, all wiper blades worn out, missing decal on rear of car, broken parcel shelf, chipped windscreen, no 200 point check appears to have been carried out on this car."
  • "Can’t test drive the car unless you’re buying it."

  • "Traveled 3hr drive from home to test drive a Hyundai i10 N- Line EK21 RCF... Car would not start."

Product Quality

Pros:

  • "So far so good, just bought a Vauxhall Astra Elite Nav, lovely car & they were very helpful, the odd scratches we didn't notice due to the rain, but that's a given with any used car."

Cons:

  • "Watch carefully the alloys, most of them they are resprayed :) not really professional."
  • "Please stay clear from big motoring world, they are too big to treat their customers as individuals."
  • "Absolute bunch of clowns 🤡 Don't be fooled by the 5 star reviews and check the real ones, avoid this shady business and go to a real dealership"
  • "Shocking customer service! After being sold a faulty car that would in fact fail its MOT and is a danger to other drivers as well as ourselves."
  • "This company is beyond a joke when it comes to after sale care! The car I purchased developed faults after faults."
  • "Aftercare a shambles. Sold a focus with engine problems 5 months later, checks clearly weren’t done as they say."
