Easy, quick and great quality

I wanted to get a new car, but knowing my little about cars I rely on review sites to make informed decisions on which car to buy. On Carspring I could find the type of car I wanted easily, their support was very helpful and I could order the car to be delivered the day after I moved house. The person delivering the car was knowledgeable and friendly and it is a great quality car.

No complaints through any of the process!

Ignored my emails then changed policy on sales

Attempted to sell my car using this website. Initially it was quite smooth to register my car and I received an immediate response. I had to then send photos of my car via email for appraisal. At the time I was unable to locate my service book so I sent all other required photos and asked the sales team if the missing service book would affect my valuation should it be permanently lost. This email received no response. Finally, I found the service book, sent a photo of it to the same email and received no further response for 2 full weeks. I then called carspring to get an answer and was told over the phone that they no longer did direct sales but instead I would have to do a part-exchange and that my initial offer/valuation would not be honoured. Disappointing service.

Hi Joe,

I am very sorry to hear about your experience. Unfortunately, it appears as though you were caught in the middle of our service ('sell your car') whilst it was being phased out. As a result, your emails were bouncing and there was no contact from us. Understandably, you should have been made aware sooner and for this we apologise. At Carspring we now focus on selling cars rather than buying cars, if this is something you are interested in, we will be happy to help.

If you have any more questions or which to discuss this further, please email support@carspring.co.uk and we will be happy to answer them.

Fantastic 5 star service

A big big thankyou to all the team at carspring, for someone who wanted to buy a newish car it was so easy , i was a bit nervous buying on line never heard of anyone who had bought a car on line before , and not being very experienced as just passed my test few months ago was struggling with gears, so decided to go automatic and absolutely love my little smart car so easy to drive turned up when it was stated and the gentleman who delivered my car was pleasant and courtious cant sing his praises any higher, all the team at carspring where very helpful , a little problem with v5 but sorted within a day would recommend buying a car from carspring ,only couple of minor things a matter with car ,no car mats and no cup holder but all in all am extremely happy with service well done carspring 5 star service thankyou so much x

Service from beginning to end was outstanding

At first l was a bit sceptical about the service they provide was real. Can you buy a vehicle online without even seeing it. The answer is yes because at every stage l was kept informed and not mislead. 2 things that most dealership tend to get wrong.The man whom delivered my vehicle was called Peter who was exceptionally polite and gave me a tour of the vehicle and pointed out little things l missed. But the quality of their service via phone and email is truly great. They even provide 1 year breakdown service and it's free ( I have saved £107.13 year from a breakdown company am currently with). I truly recommend Carspring to everyone.

Cannot rate highly enough!!!

I had reservations about buying a car with an online only company as I like to see what I am buying before making such a large purchase but I am very glad I chose Carspring. They have been nothing but helpful and reassuring throughout the process and even put me in touch with the finance company. All staff I have dealt with have been really pleasant and polite and have kept me in the loop from the day I made my first enquiry. The car arrived within the time frame given, delivered to my door by a very friendly delivery representative. The car was in excellent condition with not a mark on it, a years MOT, immaculate inside and to top it off a full tank of petrol!

I had an issue with the car a couple of weeks after my purchase (unavoidable bad luck and not the fault of Carspring) and the customer service given by Matt is what has prompted me to write this review. The issue was resolved within 24 hours and I had no cause to be stressed or concerned at all. He called when he said he would and did everything he could to both put my mind at ease and help with my problem - he is a credit to the company.

I cannot see me buying a car from anyone else now I have had such a good experience with Carspring and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a used car - they are the best!

5 Star Service from start to finish

I honestly didn't think I stood a chance of being approved to get a car in Finance, but these guys just took the pain right out of it and got me a great deal on my dream car! They kept me up to date with regular emails and on the day of delivery, they phoned me with the ETA, and delivered in mint condition! I am so pleased and will not use anyone else to purchase a vehicle in future! Perfect Service, Thanks guys and girls at Car Spring

love my new car

I loved the way they kept me mostly informed. My first car failed it's inspection so they offered me another in its place and for my trouble gave me some added extras which I was extremely pleased with and I hasten to add the replacement is better than the one I choose. Nkonasa was very polite and helped me all the way through.

Perfect way to buy a car!

Carspring was perfect for me, I had test driven a few cars and done my research to decide which make, model etc I wanted.
Zuto sorted out my finance and Carspring delivered my beautiful new car in only 5 days!!!
So happy! Would definitely recommend and would use again!

Thanks

I logged in online through Facebook to choose my dream car, the customer service called me after 30 minutes. They asked me for my personal details. Four days later they called me again to inform me that the zooplo company is able to give me a credit for my dream car. My English isn't that good, but the customer service was very patient and helpful, they did everything to offer me an amazing deal. The car is even better than I expected, they delivered it on last Friday so I was able to use it during a weekend and I traveled from London to Birmingham, then to Liverpool and back to London. The car is incredibly comfortable. It's my first car in the UK and I'm extremely satisfied with the Carspring services, I'm honestly recommending it to everyone. 10/
