The worst service ever!!!

I just wanted to express my deep disappointment with the lack of professional customer service on your part. I am referring to the Barnet location, where I purchased a car yesterday that was supposed to be delivered to me today following a scheduled service. Unfortunately, neither the service nor the delivery don’t took place due to a lack of responsibility and professionalism in handling me as a customer. Regrettably, I have no choice but to cancel the purchase and report the matter to the Financial Ombudsman regarding the losses I have incurred.

AVOID AT ALL COST

Please do not get fooled by the prices . This company is a complete fraud . I was fooled by the price . They sold me a damage car online without disclosing in June. Promises after promises to pick up and fix the damage . The after sales team lie one after the other . From Cara , ZIyad and Sababa hossain. I’ve been calling them daily and emailing and they ignore . PLEASE AVOID . The Miah Brothers need to sort this out and fear God they are cheating people big time .

The car planet Aftersales, Ahmad

The car planet Aftersales team have been fantastic. Ahmad from Aftersales has given me great “first class” customer service, and has resolved the problem I had swiftly and efficiently. Thank you to Amna too for great customer service, and for being so helpful. Really appreciate as I know your team is busy! Thank you for the great service.

Munirah's delight

Munirah's customer relations skills were exceptional. I found her re-assuring and she kept me informed through the process of my car being taken in for a minor repair to my rear sensors. Munirah called me frequently which gave me confidence that she would resolve the issue satisfactorily, despite my initial reservations. Thank you, Munirah.

Hi,

We are sorry to hear that you remain dissatisfied with the outcome of your case. However, we do feel that this review does not accurately reflect the circumstances.

As previously communicated, we initially accepted the vehicle into our workshop and were prepared to investigate and repair the reported concerns. Following a full diagnostic inspection, multiple technicians independently reached the same conclusion regarding the cause of the fault. Based on their findings, it was determined that the issue was not due to a pre-existing defect but was consistent with driver-related factors. Unfortunately, this meant we were unable to accept liability for the repairs.

These findings have been documented by our technicians and have been communicated to you throughout the process. The same information has also been shared with your finance company as part of their review.

Despite this, we have continued to assist you by discussing alternative options, including a part exchange, privately arranged repairs, and complimentary delivery to minimise any inconvenience.

Furthermore, as a gesture of goodwill, we stored your vehicle at our premises for approximately one month while you were away on holiday. Ordinarily, storage charges may apply in such circumstances; however, we chose not to charge you any storage fees in an effort to support you during this matter.

We appreciate that this is not the outcome you were hoping for, but we do not believe it is fair to suggest that we have refused to help. We have investigated the matter thoroughly, considered the available evidence, and provided our position based on the technical findings, while also making additional goodwill gestures to assist you where possible.

Kind regards,

Car Planet

Avoid at all costs

Avoid at all costs. Currently in a legal dispute as we were sold a faulty car which they have failed to repair or provide a refund for. Calls and emails go entirely unanswered by after sales team. Do not under any circumstances purchase from this company.

Promises not kept Kaleem Mehmood

When I went to collect my car the items that were promised were not delivered, the car was supposed to have a full valet done ready for collection, fuel was supposed to be added as tank was empty and number plate clips were supposed to of been replaced, as promised by Kaleem Mehmood. I was booked in for 6pm for collection when I arrived the car was in exactly the same spot I had parked it in after test drive and was filthy I was seen at almost 8pm with other customers arriving after me seen first its only because I complained to the manager I was seen next, the car had not been washed the service was appalling I was told I could bring the car back and they would put this right I have emailed Kaleem twice and he hasn't even had the decency to reply.

Absolutely terrible customer service from start to finish.

The staff had very little knowledge about the Ghost immobiliser fitted to the car and were unable to answer basic questions. After my finance was approved, communication was extremely poor. I made several calls but received no response, leaving me completely in the dark.

Before collection, I informed the dealership that I would be arriving the following morning and specifically asked for the car to be washed and ready. When I arrived, the car had not been cleaned, and I was forced to wait an extra hour while they prepared it. This should have been done before my arrival.but car was still not clean inside properly it was dusty.

The whole experience felt unprofessional and disorganised. Buying a car should be an exciting experience, but instead it was frustrating and stressful due to poor communication, lack of product knowledge, and failure to prepare the vehicle as promised. I would not recommend this dealership based on my experience.

Expect a lot of hard sell

Went on a Monday evening and it was rammed, felt that it was a bit chaotic. and although I have bought a car here (we will see if it's ok) the hard sell didn't ever seem to stop.
