452Ward's review of Carbase Car Supermarket, Weston super Mare, Somerset - www.carbase.biz

“check before you pay”

★☆☆☆☆

written by 452Ward on 25/03/2017

Carbase offer what seems like good choice and good prices for 2/3 yr old cars. But in simple terms you get what you pay for.

The 3 months guarantee they offer is for only £500. When you are paying for your car you will face a "hard sell" to buy an extended warranty before you leave the showroom, even if the car is still under manufacturers warranty.

We made the mistake of buying a car that had not arrived at the dealership. We were shown a similar model together with the RAC pre delivery check sheet and made the serious error of assuming that that is what we would get

Before you pay for your car make sure you have checked everything yourself, that the Satnav, if fitted, works properly - not just lights up. Check that the tyres have a reasonable amount of tread and are not just "barely legal" , check that the the wheel nut key is present in the car, that all the lights work,You also need to establish whether you are getting one key or two.,a second key will cost you hundreds of pounds.They take the attitude, along I'm told with some other dealers, that you get what comes with car when they bought it.

Once you have departed from the premises, you will find, as we have done, that they do not give the impression that reputation and the prospect of return custom feature highly in their priorities
