Buyacar have been a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. You can tell they pride themselves on good customer care. I wanted the deal to be done ASAP and they helped ensure everything went through as quickly as it could be so that the car was delivered to me before an important date. I noticed an issue with the vehicle that buyacar have been quick to act to get it resolved.

Great experience.

I had a good experience with buyacar, it did take quite a while for the car to get delivered but when it came it was exactly what I was after. Although the dealer where the car was from had not put in the parcel I then contacted buyacar and they sorted this out for me very quickly. I would definitely recommend and if need be I will be using them again.

A pleasant and easy experience using Buy-A-Car

Had a pleasant experience using Buy A Car. Was very easy to navigate the website and find a car that suited our needs and budget. The after sales customer service was top class - friendly and quick to respond to a minor issue that they solved straight away. Would definitely recommend.

Not what you ordered. BE AWARE.

Buy a Car were very helpful, polite and knowledgeable and I cannot fault that. I found my car and had everything sorted. They rang me to say a fault had been found on the car and they would not sell it to me. OK, fair enough.
I saw another car, not as good spec but it looked very nice so agreed to buy it.
On the day of delivery they rang to say the garage had sent some photos of the odd chip and scratch. Odd they should do it hours before delivery but OK.
The damage was not an odd chip/scratch, the photos were bad quality and trying to hide damage. I got onto BuyaCar and they got the garage to do 2 videos, in and out. This was not the car on the original advert, it had damage everywhere including a small hole on the inside of the door.
I refused the car and questioned why this was happening on delivery day, how the damage couldn't be seen on the original pictures as there was so much and why had this not been sorted already.
BuyaCar apologised and refunded my money but I am now without a car and nearly £90 out of pocket having changed car registrations twice and now to do it again.
Be careful.

Exceptional Customer Service

Somewhat easy but not ideal experience of purchasing a car. However, the exceptional customer service especially from Francesca in the Customer Care team means I now have my perfect car.

The initial ordering of the car was a little hassle as of course the first car I wanted was not available after I reserved it. But it worked out that I ended up with a car that I prefer- Happy Days…

The car was smoothly delivered and arrived exactly when they said it would. Unfortunately there were a few issues I was not made aware of: there was a chip on the windscreen which was in the driver eye line and not very sightly; there was also cosmetic damage to the centre console and what looked like chemical damage to the cup holder (Not typical wear and tear, quite unsure what the previous owner was using the car for apart from driving from A to B). Of course a second hand car is not perfect but the damages were not made clear in the photos and if they were I would have avoided buying the car. (I will add the rest of the car was in beautiful condition and was valeted and cleaned before it arrived).

I got in contact with the team at Buy A Car to let them know I would like to return the car due to the damage. The team at Buy A Car very quickly got back to me who wanted to help me resolve the issues as soon as possible to avoid me having to return the car and essentially end up ‘car-less’ which for me is not ideal as I need my car for work. To summarise the problems were resolved, it did take 3/4 months but I have paid nothing towards the cost of repairs. It has been a slight inconvenience travelling to car garages etc. but the customer service I received has been great and I would happily buy a car from Buy A Car in the future.

Easy

Quick, easy and efficient. A few clicks and pay a reservation fee, then leave it all to them. They rang to inform me of a delivery day and all I had to do was get it paid for and wait. Would happily buy through them again.
Great service, great time saver.

Could of gone so wrong had it not been…

Could of gone so wrong had it not been for excellent customer service: My van broke down and I needed something quick, I found a van that was suitable, BuyACar did all the checks on their end and when they went to pick up the van they said the van isn’t how the dealer described and sent me pictures of the van which was in an absolute state. I had signed all the paperwork and buyacar were ready to deliver it. Instead of pushing me into it like other companies I’ve used before they made me aware and were on the case to get me a new van ASAP, I found a better van a few days later and was delivered within a week. They were always easy to talk to, organised and completely transparent. I worked for a car finance company a few years ago and I was blown away how professional buyacar were.. so so so impressed. Thank you!!
