The worst company I've ever dealt…

The worst company I've ever dealt with!!! This is about my experience buying a Tesla from Blue Bell Hill Depot! After several hours of negotiations with Manager R, we reached an agreement and arranged to pick up the car in a few days! I paid the money, and I had a document stamped Manager Approved Best Deal. Finally, the day to pick up the car arrived, and I removed the Volvo insurance and purchased new Tesla insurance. (The Volvo buyer was supposed to come pick it up that evening.) After arriving at Big Motoring, a different Manager J, who found time for us after an hour of waiting, presented us with different documents with a different price and a contract that was 4,000 pounds higher for us. My wife and I used two calculators to show him the price difference. All we heard was that he wanted to help us and make money! This is outrageous because, according to the law, you can't change contracts, agreements, etc., especially behind the other party's back! Then we wrote an official email to the complaints team and they replied that we had to wait 5 business days... after that time, they sent me their complaints policy🤣🤣🤣 (the biggest nonsense and hypocrisy from a company that changes contracts and treats customers like garbage). Therefore, we filed a complaint with FCA Action Fraud and Consumer Rights... I have photos of the documents and all the emails from this company... There are "Complaint BMW" groups on social media. If you read it, it's unbelievable how many people in the UK have and have had major problems with this company and its cars... THEREFORE, EVERYONE SHOULD THINK 10 TIMES BEFORE DECIDING TO VISIT THIS COMPANY... UNLESS YOU LIKE TROUBLE, WASTE OF MONEY AND TIME!!!!! LEARN FROM MY MISTAKES AND STAY AS FAR AWAY AS POSSIBLE FROM THE TROUBLE OF BIG MOTORING WORLD............. reply for our answer.....
Save those fairy tales for the kids!!!!!!! Your complaints team did absolutely NOTHING!!!! You sent an email saying I had to wait 5 days in the queue, and then another telling me to comply with your complaints policy!!!!!!! And this is coming from a company that doesn't follow the law and changes contracts behind customers' backs!!!!!!! So don't spout nonsense just to make it look like you care about the customer, because you don't—and NO ONE from your Blue Bell Hill team wanted to help us; you just refunded the money immediately because you already had a buyer lined up for that Tesla!!!!!!!!

Everything went smoothly

Everything went smoothly, and the staff performed their duties professionally; Mr. Lukasz, in particular, was very helpful and gave clear, direct answers to our questions. I wish all dealerships in the United Kingdom offered such service. I am truly pleased—not only with my car but also with the service I received. Best regard

I collected my new car today from Big Motoring World. Overall, I had a great experience. The staff were very friendly, welcoming, and caring throughout the process. I really appreciate all the team members for looking after us and making everything go smoothly.

The only thing I was disappointed with was the cleaning of the car. It hadn’t been cleaned properly before collection, which was a bit disappointing. Apart from that, everything else was excellent, and I’m happy with my new car.

Amazing Service

We had a bad experience buying the car at a different big motoring world branch but we loved the car, we had it transferred to a Blue Bell Hill & they restored our faith with the service & kindness we experienced today. We had a lovely man called JJ who was very enthusiastic and happy to help however he could.

Bluebell Hill Big Motoring World warranty management

Purchased a Q4 Audi etron from Blue bell hill Big Motoring world just over one month ago for my wife. My wife doesn't usually use the A/C however during this hot spell she's switched it on only to find it doesn't work. It took me a number of attempts to get clarification from Big Motoring World on how to claim on my 3 month warranty and was asked to take it to Kwikfit for a free A/C inspection and get them to report on the failure. Kwikfit kindly inspected the vehicle A/C and found the system to be charged but could not identify the fault and do not (as its a free inspection) provide reports for Big Motoring World warranty management, which is no surprise.
I have now informed the warranty team at Big Motoring World how is dealing with my case via email and chased a further 3 times on email plus made calls to the branch office however after 5 days I've had no response and the reception refuse to put me through to the warranty team directly (excuse of not being able to). Given we are currently in the middle of a heat wave with temperatures exceeding 30 degrees I am highly disappointed at the total lack of service and courtesy and will now have to take matters into my own hands.
During the sales process Big Motoring World pressure you heavily to take an extended warranty however if this is an example of how its managed I certainly would not waste your money and reflecting off the sales process would certainly not buy from them again.

Thanks Big Motoring World for the rely on Trust pilot. Its a shame however the multiple phone calls and email didn't get a courteous reply over the 5 days of chasing but you can respond pretty sharpish to a trust pilot review. Lets hope you keep up the communication moving forward and honor the warranty you provide and get the A/C fixed.

update 20/7/26
Its now 20 days since I raised the warranty claim. Ive been to kwikfit for diagnostics and to an Audi specialist for further diagnostics at my cost of £90 and all data has been submitted to BMW and I am simply begin ignored. I've even been told not to contact them by phone to chase this as it may delay their response:
"We understand that you may wish to call in to try to speed up the process; however, our system prioritises enquiries based on the most recent response. This means that calling may reset the position of your query and can actually delay the time it takes for us to respond. " comical!

If you are thinking of buying a car with warranty do not go to Big Motoring World. I am now having to start formal proceedings to return the vehicle.

27/8/26 - 8 week into the claim and still no functioning A/C and Big Motoring World havent refunded the £90 diagnostic fee I incurred, even though ive supplied my bank details 3 times and dont reply to email for days if not weeks. Their after sale service is total incompetent.

Hi Stuart,

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention and expressing your dissatisfaction with the service you've received from Big Motoring World. We apologise for any inconvenience or frustration caused by the issues you've encountered with your vehicle's air con.

I understand from your communication with our After-Sales team that they have authorised £100 INC VAT for your vehicle to be diagnosed at a local garage of your choice, if the garage confirms there is a mechanical fault with your vehicle, they would require a diagnosis report detailing the cause of failure along with a full estimate quotation that breaks down both parts and labour that maybe required in the relevant repair. This can be obtained from a local independent garage.

Once the team receives this information, they will be able to advise further.

Please be assured that we value your feedback and will take the necessary steps to address the issues raised. We apologise for any inconvenience caused and appreciate your patience as we work towards a resolution.

Kindest regards,
Big Motoring World

They do offer cheap cars at trade prices, but there are a few points to understand. Cars are not fully checked and some will have issues -factor this into the price

They make their money not on the sale of the car, but rather the aftermarket add ons such as the various warrenties.

If you can resist the heavy sales pressure you can bag yourself a good car at a very cheap price

From start to collection, the service was outstanding, from the staff to the cappacinos. I was talked through the process and what extras were on offer.

An excellent experience for my Granddaughter

The Salesman was very friendly and helpful. I came to your store with my 16 year old granddaughter, so that she could get an idea of the type of cars available to her, when she can drive at 17. I was really impressed with the way the Salesman spoke with my granddaughter, regarding the types of car available to suit a learner, and not me. Well done. I’m afraid that I can’t remember his name.

Appalling customer service and lack of accountability for their own mistakes

This happened last year but since they keep repeated sending us emails asking us to review their service despite us asking multiple times to remove us from their mailing list, I thought I would share our experience. We bought a car from them and were of course told everything was fine and we purchased a 2 year warranty as well. 4 months later our car broke down so we tried to have them fixed it which they of course denied and said it wasn't covered under our warranty. For 2 weeks we were ignored and spoken down to by their rude customer services team who kept telling us a manager would call us, which they never did. During this time we both missed work due to not having a car and their staff are the rudest I have ever experienced with zero empathy or even basic training by the sounds of it. My partner ended unless calling them to find out what was happening as I said we were being completely ignored and being sent the same emails saying it wasn't covered under our warranty. As it turns out they hadn't even activated our warranty so of course it wasn't covered and then they offered ZERO apology or compensation for what was THEIR mistake and refused to even refund us the warranty despite them not providing the service we had paid for. After much back and forth they refunded us 1 year of the warranty which is quite frankly insulting considering they did not provide the service we paid for and we were very much out of pocket at this point and had no choice but to pay to have it fixed on our own. Their disgusting customer service approach of ignoring their customers and refusing to take accountability for something that they admitted themselves was their fault is reason enough to never by a car from them again. But we have also had no end of issues with the car which we have had to fix ourselves. Their lack of accountability and compensation for the issues they caused, caused us so much distress and they didn't even care enough to call us back. Their mantra of providing affordable, good quality cars to people is a complete lie as essentially they ignore you until you have no choice financially but to fix it yourselves. It is unlikely they will even reply to this review as they avoid accountability at every turn but you asked for a review so here it is - enjoy.

Hi LH,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and we’re sorry to hear about the experience you’ve described.

We regret the delay in communication and the frustration caused during your attempts to resolve the warranty issue, particularly where there were failures in the activation process and the follow-up you received. This is not the standard of service we aim to provide.

I have passed this on to the relevant Management Teams so that this can be reviewed internally. Additional training will also be provided where necessary to ensure this does not happen again.

Unfortunately, we have been unable to locate your details and have yet to receive a response to our Trustpilot request for further information. Could you please email us at Customercare@bigmotoringworld.co.uk so we can ensure your details are removed from any mailing lists, as requested.
