Big Motoring World - West Malling Anmeldelser 

Detailed explanation of the vehicle features and excellent communication

We saw a car we liked on Saturday morning and drove the same day from Portsmouth to west Malling and was met by salesman Joe. He was very welcoming and straight away we felt there was no pressure selling. He offered us a coffee and only then did we realise they have an actual coffee bar with barista coffee and hot drinks and really nice milkshakes ! All very nice. Joe talked us through the car on the computer and said he would bring it round for a test drive. He did this and allowed us to look around the car at our pace and we were not rushed around it atall. He was very knowledgeable and knew everything about the car and clearly took a real interest in the car. We went on the drive and he encouraged us to go longer for the drive. All very laid back without the dreaded sales man talk but remained professional throughout.

When we got back to the car sales we said we wanted the car and because we had literally needed a car the same day he arranged a full valet and the extra paint and seat protection that we decided to buy was applied. This was all swift and carried out whilst we did the paperwork. He worked with us with the figures for the warranty and we were happy and took this out as well.
We were then passed to a lady who did the handover etc and showed us back to the now gleaming car.

They clearly have a very good business model with precise , efficient and streamlined processes from start to finish. Nothing was to much trouble and we couldn’t believe what a great experience we had. The showroom was modern and clean and we were blown away with just how well everything ran.

If you see Joe at west malling you will be with a very nice knowledgeable person who has the passion without being pushy. A perfect example of how salespeople should be Brilliant and we will def be back when we need another car.

Great communication from the company and very good service at West Malling branch.

Bought Hyundai tuscon from wimbledon branch branch manager helen was a great lady excellent customer service but next day engine management light came on on car after numerous calls after sales team book with AA garage for diagnose this process took 10 days than finally they agreed to exchange the car so i been to west mailing branch good customer service only salesman was in rush to sell me vehicle without even looking at it properly. Anyways i got new exchanged vehicle now so overall experience i would say is 8 out of 10

Very friendly and professional staff, and no hard sales. Would definitely use again, and recommend to others.

What a waste of time - I do not recommend. Booked a slot to test drive a car and after waiting 30 mins, I was told I was next but they couldnt say whether the wait would be 5 or 50 minutes. But I could look at the locked cars… I would never buy a car from somewhere that cares so little about their customers

Staff was great but I wasn't too happy with the car I part exchanged for and the price I got for my existing car. Premisis clean professional and welcoming. Car I received few marks and scratches on exterior and interior roof lining bit marked and ripped. Got back very much less then they originally offered me for my car.

The person who is serving me was knowledgeable and answered my questions. He suggested many things that I should do. Well mannered and friendly. Anoush is the person who's dealing with the car. Steph is also approachable and knows her stuff.

The sales executive and handover advisor (Carl & Emiliya) were attentive and extremely helpful. The service and experience were great from start to finish.

We bought a car from Big Motoring World and paid extra for an extended warranty, having been assured it would give us full peace of mind. In reality, it has been the complete opposite.

Less than a year later, the car developed a fault. When we tried to take it back to their Snodland service centre, we were told we couldn’t as it was now over six months and tit had nothing to with them. Had it been within the first 6 months then they would have help but unfortunately they can not and was advised to use third-party garages. We were directed to Kwik Fit and Halfords, but both refused to deal with Big Motoring World. Several other local garages also declined as well.

While speaking to some of  these garages to understand why, a consistent theme came up. Many said they avoid working with Big Motoring World due to ongoing issues—long delays on the phone to third-party warranty providers, difficulty getting approvals, and problems with payments. Some also shared concerns based on their past experience of vehicles coming in with faults shortly after purchase.

We were left without a car for nearly two weeks just trying to find a garage willing to take the job on.

When we finally did, the warranty process was extremely difficult. The insurer required the garage to carry out intrusive investigation work before even considering the claim. While we expected to pay for diagnostics, we were never told we’d have to cover significant strip-down costs just to prove the fault.

The total repair bill came to just over £2,000, and the warranty only covered around £400. We had no choice but to pay the remaining balance ourselves just to get the car back. The entire process took around six weeks, leaving us without a usable vehicle.

Even the recovery company we dealt with had negative feedback about their experiences handling vehicles linked to Big Motoring World, which only added to our concerns.

Overall, this has been a frustrating, stressful, and expensive experience. The extended warranty was sold as comprehensive cover, but in reality it offered very little value. Based on our experience, I would strongly advise others to think carefully before relying on it.

Customer service: welcoming, professional and helpful.

My only issue is they were meant to get back to me regarding the the value of my car for part exchange but i didn't hear back.

Met my requirements and also the sales person wasn’t pushy to buy a car
