I don’t often take the time to report on a decent service I’ve had. I usually spend more time thinking about and talking about bad experiences but I was very impressed with the guys over at car world uk, in Peterborough.
I was sceptical at first, the car was a pretty good price for what it was (not always a good sign) and I had to travel 2 hours to go see it! Having checked them out on-line and by telephone I went to take a look. Not only was the car great but so was everybody I dealt with. Most car show rooms seem reluctant to help, as if turning up is causing an inconvenience but not this place.
Having got the car home I found something very small wrong with a part of the interior. The part could easily be replaced for £40 and I had a free 3 month warranty, but the warranty wouldn’t cover it. At £40 I was just going to replace it myself but I gave them a call and after refusing to drive back to Peterborough for a cheap part they happily agreed to just reimburse me if I bought it myself – excellent!
To top it all off, they sent me a Christmas card the other week! 😉
If you found this looking for a review of car world, I’d recommend them based on my experience. If you’re a regular reader of the blog, apologies for the niche topic.

sales bird nice but only wanted her commission, paperwork very very dodgy and when questioned gave me a lot of bullshit. I WOULD DEFINATELY NEAVER BUT A CAR FROM CARWORLD as i was struggling leave with my depoist a bloke came in saying car that he had puchased only two days ago had gone wrong sales person told him “what do you expect me to do?”.
Cheap for a reason, avoid avoid avoid I got off light as I listened to all the advice like check V5 and service book and HPi check, (ps do your own, as well).
These will end up on WATCHDOG
Dont waste your hard earned cash
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Really odd. I’ve had my car since posting this article back in 2007 and not had any problems at all. Perhaps I was either lucky, or you were unlucky. I guess a lot can change in 2 years too!
