“Good Service and value for money”

★★★★☆

written by on 23/03/2015

We needed to replace our existing car and trade it in so visited Carcraft to see what was available. We had visited carcraft around 10 years ago and wasn't very impressed with the service or the vehicles, but I was pleasantly surprised by the change, no aggressive hard sell and vehicles are stored all indoors now and none are older than 7 years old. We came away with a new car and got a good trade-in price for the old one, a free-service and MOT in the first 12 months so I would recommend them to anyone looking for a good used car.

“Fast,friendly service”

★★★★☆

written by ctSerrano102 on 21/03/2015

Visited lakeside branch, all staff friendly and relaxed, browsed in peace and then when I decided on a vehicle or two a test drive was arranged. All went well and to my surprise found out I could drive away on the day ! After some credit checks, which did take time I was given the keys to me new car. I'd allow a half day to complete all the paperwork. When its time to change my car again I'd definitely go back.

“Very pleased with our experience, they listened to...”

★★★★☆

written by Adelaidea1952 on 19/03/2015

Very pleased with our experience, they listened to what we wanted and didn't push up to go any higher than we were comfortable. We drove away the same day with a very attractive finance and service package. All round satisfactory experience.

“Great Service”

★★★★☆

written by Pete1630 on 14/03/2015

Great attention to me as the customer, although i was left waiting for quite a while this was down to my personal circumstances, rather than CarCraft taking their time. I was very pleased that i managed to negotiate a great deal for myself, and rather than Carcrafft sticking to their guns over the price of the car they met me in the middle, which i'm obviously very pleased about. After car was good as well, phone calls to ensure i was happy and i was contacted about other service available to me. Overall i was happy with my time spent at CarCraft and i walked (drove) away with a deal to my suiting.

“Carcraft in wednesbury, Wolverhampton ”

★★★★☆

written by Bigcav95 on 28/02/2015

I went to a carcraft in wednesbury, Wolverhampton. They are very very good at changing you out of your old car into a new one. The cars are a very good quality and the payments are nagoshable. I highly recommend carcraft as it is probably the best car supermarket in the uk. The only thing I didn't like about it is it was a very long process and took 4 hours but then again it was a Sunday and it was also busy. A very good part of my experience was the drive away the same day. I could leave my old car at the showroom and drive away the same day. The cars are taxed and tested in the garage next door to the showroom. Very very very very good

visited Carcraft Lakeside, staff were very welcoming and professional,The staff gave you time to look around without any interference, there was a lot of variety and the cars were in very nice condition,were very helpful when asked for assistance, gave all the information needed when questions were asked, very honest and truthful, gave full history of car, took me for a test drive when asked, when I decided to purchase my car the staff were very helpful in going to the Post Office and purchasing my tax for me, sorted out insurance cover for first 5 days, overall excellent. Would definitely recommend to a friend /family if thinking of buying a car,

“Very friendly and helpful ”

★★★★☆

written by Davewhite211 on 06/02/2015

Staff were brilliant with customer service. Spoke to all family members and even let the wife watch TV! We were able to browse other cars whilst the paper work was being sorted and the process wasn't too long. We had to pop back a few times as the car was brought from another place and i had work commitments but overall happy with the service. Paying cheaper than we were before! We were given a mobile number for any questions which I thought was great. Enjoyable experience

“So far so good”

★★★★☆

written by Schneider288 on 27/11/2014

Staff at the Wednesbury showroom were helpful..not pushy nor imposing. Would have liked to ask a few more questions and get well aquainted with the car, but was a Sunday and it took hours to get the process completed. The sales staff however did stay till after hours to help with the process - I guess its just one of those things (the process). Overall satisfied with the car so far and would definitely recommend visiting the showroom 320021

“Happy with car”

★★★★☆

written by on 27/11/2014

Went to Wednesbury CarCraft although it takes ages and we were there for hours we are very happy with our new car . our initial sales person was very helpful and was good at his job . Don't get pushed in to taking out additional cover if you don't need it as they will push and push for this extra sale . Overall can't fault the car and quite good aftercare with 2 salespeople phoning to see if everything ok . I would use again but would hope it didn't take so long !!

“Better than expected”

★★★★☆

written by MauricioWhittaker148 on 22/11/2014

my first thought of salesmen were pushy and demanding but I was wrong. they were extremely nice and patient. Service was great and they looked after us. My experience was over a course of 2 days and in the end my salesman went to midlands to pick up my car. the only thing is that waiting for your finance company is the longest wait but each customer is different.

“We went in to Newport carcraft after a call from one...”

★★★★☆

written by Goddard78 on 22/11/2014

We went in to Newport carcraft after a call from one of the salesman there. He met us at the entrance and it was all very simple after that. All staff were very pleasant and helpful. Their knowledge on the cars were given to us quickly and fairly and any questions we had were answered straight away. We bought a great little car and drove it out within a few hours. There was no hard sell and they were helpful when we needed assistance. The best thing was when we told them it was a second car not at any stage did our very nice salesman push us to buy bigger and better. Would recommend Carcraft. 6EZWO

“Happy but stay alert”

★★★★☆

written by Jon-London on 22/11/2014

Carcraft is a 'fascinating' company to deal with! In the end we have a great little car (6 year old Renault Clio) and have satisfactorily part exchanged our old car. We were lucky in that we were able to finance to deal in one go and were wise to the 'inadvertent' arithmetic mistakes that had to be corrected throughout the process, otherwise the 4 star score might be a lot lower. Yes, the salesmen hounded us; yes we were handled by several people with "I'm not sure why my colleague didn't do this or that", yes we were kept waiting for over an hour at one point for no particular reason, but we made sure that we double-checked & queried everything at every stage. Good points: the chosen car was transported from Leeds to London overnight; a damaged wing mirror was fixed with no fuss (albeit after a bit of chasing) and the manager at the Enfield branch seemed to make an effort to make sure we were all sorted. It remains to be seen whether the 'free' MOT and servicing will happen smoothly, but at the moment (after one week) we are happy, but suggest people keep their wits about them when venturing across the Carcraft threshold.

in our contract it says after paying finance for 2 years you can ask to return car on the understanding it then belongs to them again and no more payments are required but obviously car needs to legal and in good condition if he still has his contract check what it says, it does mean you've paid a lot for the car over 2 years but you're no longer commited to pay anymore and you will be finance free (the cobtract is with the finance not carcraft) good luck

Don't bother with them. If this is how they treat you when you are trying to buy a car, just think how it will be if sonethibg hoes wrong and you try to claim under guarantee? Terrible customer service!

My opinion I'd go to carcraft ask for your motor back and take it to a reputable garage that won't mess you around and probably won't feed you a load of waffle saying you car needs work doing when it probably doesn't, you must know a local trust worthy mechanic most people do or ask around in your local area and check the mileage to make sure they've not been using it, try reporting them to trading standards if something's not right with what there explanation is about & why they kept the car, I'd just advise when you get your car back never return to carcraft unless you want to drive it through there showroom window with a strap on attached to it then you can aim it up the managers arse as you drive through the showroom

I would AVOID Carcraft. They lied to me on several points when I tried to buy a car from them. When I finally agreed to buy the car anyways, they raised the price after I had already agreed to their asking price. Also, they will not allow you to buy the car outright or purchase the car through any other lender than themselves. Both times I visited the Carcraft in Enfield to test drive the car (over a 3 day period) the battery was dead and I had to wait for it to be charged up. The first time the headlights didn't work, the second time the parking sensors and sat nav didn't work. Even still I offered to buy the car at their asking price (which I really felt was £1,500 over the real value). They accepted my offer, I waited around for 45 mins to sign the paperwork. Then a manager comes out and says the car had been 'mistakenly advertised' £2,400 BELOW their 'real asking price'. So even though their website and the sign on the car and two salesmens all confirmed one price, the manager came out and raised it by £2,400!! That's when I found out they wouldn't accept payment in full, nor would they allow me to purchase the car through a bank loan or any other lender---they only allow purchases through their own repayment scheme. I was totally fed up at that point and I left, swearing to never return. Three days later I found the exact same spec car, with everything in good working order (listed for £2,000 BELOW Carcraft's original asking price) at a small dealership in Hertfordshire. I was able to pay cash for the car, test drive it, sign all the paperwork, and drive away within an hour.
