Contacted Carexpert next day they contacted me with price they could get a new jaecoo j5. A really good saving excepted the price and contract from the dealer reviewd within an hour ,and deposit paid .We also had a car to trade which the best price was sourced in 48 hours .It was kind of difficult with us as I was buying for my daughter who lived 4 hours driving away ,but car expert were very patient dealing with two people myself and my daughter .withinin 2 weeks every thing was settled and my daughter has got her new car .Would have been quicker but we were waiting for the car to arrive in the country. A very professional company to deal with if your looking for a competitive price for a new car .

Thanks so much, Kenneth. We’re really pleased we could make the process easy, from securing a strong price on the new Jaecoo J5 to helping with the trade-in as well. Coordinating everything between you and your daughter added a few moving parts, so it’s great to hear the team made it all come together smoothly. We hope she loves the new car!

New Toyota Prado Altitude

Ordered a new Toyota Prado Altitude, was very impressed with CarExpert’s knowledge and help, saved us money on vehicle purchase.
Always kept us informed of the progress of our order and expected delivery date.
This service didn’t cost us a cent, therefore why wouldn’t you engage them to help and advise you with your new purchase. Good job CarExpert would never buy a new car without consulting you guys first.

Thanks so much, Peter. We’re really pleased we could help you save on the Prado and also give you some useful advice along the way. It’s great to hear you were kept informed throughout the process and felt supported from order through to delivery. Thanks for the recommendation and for trusting CarExpert with such a big purchase. Enjoy the new Prado!

Misleading and incompetent

Did they get a good price? probably. I didnt shop around similar providers. Was certainly better than I was likely to get as a private buyer.

Support through handover? ZERO!
They claim “Deal Assurance” and “Lifetime Advocacy”. Worse than Zero!

When I was told by the dealer after no comma from CarExpert the car was ready I went to collect. After the usual sales handover performance as I was about to take the keys I was informed they lost the spare key and transponder.

Quite an issue according to Fair Trading and MTA. I called CarExpert for help. Firslty was handled by some imbecile claiming he was a mechanic and dealer principle who said they wont help. He palmed me to a state manager who said he would call the dealer and sort it out and call me back. The dealer told me this state manager said it’s for the dealer handle and never called me back. I had to personally document and have the dealer agree to a process to correct even up to replacing all lock barrels in the car, damage free.

Once I signed a deal with the dealer CarExpert has been absent and refused to step in as they claim they will in their marketing materials, a clear breach of consumer law and misleads consumers into a false sense of support.

Whilst I cannot vouch for other providers you can read through the negatives yourself. When things go wrong or not smoothly and quickly they abandon you.

All singing and dancing on youtube, and social media, brag about their stellar reputation, and behind the scenes are merely used car sales tactics.

Just wait for the usual canned “we should have done” reply as all others have with negative comments received. It’s all words and no substance.

Use these guys with full knowlege you are on your own after you sign with a dealer, who also appears to be of similar ilk.

Update - as said canned we shoudn have done better. And did you call me to say that? No. Nuff said. Actions speak words dont.

Reply from Car Expert

Stuart, we’ve looked into what happened here and understand why you feel let down.

Whilst we supported you through delivery, when the issue of the missing spare key arose, we spoke to the dealer to help you through it and that is where we fell short. Once you contacted us, we should have stayed with the issue from your perspective, not simply spoken to the dealer and left it there. We should have called you back, confirmed exactly what the dealer had agreed to do, given you a clear timeframe and followed through until it was resolved.

Our commitment to advocacy does not mean that every issue after delivery will require us to step in and resolve it with a dealer, particularly where the dealer is already taking responsibility. It does mean that when you come to us for help, we should own the communication and make sure you are not left wondering what is happening.

We’re sorry that this has undermined what had otherwise been a successful purchase and left you feeling abandoned at the point you needed support.

Was easy to organise

Was easy to organise once i had decided on car. Any issues were promptly sorted with no fuss. Price was negotiated on my behalf and was better than what i could of done myself - had extras thrown in on top of a good price

Belittling techniques to strongarm a sale

Bullying and belittling techniques to strong arm you into placing and order for a car through them.
I recently enquired about a car, offering full exclosure that I needed to go through one of three lease companies due to employer contracts. The price procured was no where near what one of the lease company's offered but when I disclosed the best price I was told 'they were very close' and the next step was to place an order for the car and see which lease company gave the best price. I said I was not placing orders for any cars until I knew what I would be up for on a monthly payment (what a surprise!). I was told there was 4-500 people a day saving money through Car expert and I obviously was not interested in saving money like hundreds of others. This is not correct, what I am not interested is signing an order for a car that I do not know what my monthly payment will be. He told me it was subject to finance so didnt matter anyway. I told the person there was no need to be rude, but he was obviously upset that I would not follow a procedure that impacts my finances without knowing what that impact would be. What a waste of time, and didnt appreciated the white shoe sales technique. Stay away.

Samantha, we’ve reviewed the calls and can see where the conversation broke down.

The process had been progressing well until the car reservation stage, when there was clearly some confusion around the next steps and what was required before proceeding.

We could have explained the process more clearly, and the tone towards the end of the final call was not where we want it to be. We’re sorry the conversation ended on that note.

We’ve reviewed this internally with the team member involved and will take the learnings from it.

Exceptional customer service

My experience with Car Expert was amazing. I had become disillusioned by my interactions with the car dealerships so having Car Expert take over that aspect was sensational. Raphael was able to secure a discount of $7500 which is incredible. Raphael was friendly, professional and efficient when working quickly to obtain the best deal for a Mitsubishi Outlander for me. Lee is very knowledgeable, professional, friendly and was able to organise a extremely good finance deal for me that fit my budget. When there was a hiccup at the last hurdle with a miscalculated invoice from the dealership Raphael swooped in and had it sorted within the hour. My kids and I are beyond happy with our new ride and the fact that I did not have to contend with any pushy dealership reps which was a godsend. I highly recommend the team at Car Experts.

Thanks so much, Michelle. We love hearing that we could take the stress out of the dealership side of the process and make buying your new Outlander so much easier. A $7,500 saving is a fantastic result, and we’re especially pleased Raphael and Lee were able to support you right through to finance and help quickly when that last-minute issue came up. We’ll make sure they both see your lovely feedback. Enjoy the new car with the kids!

Shopping for a new car just became easier

David Robinson contacted me shortly after I lodged my initial request and was professional and incredibly helpful. He had offers back to me based on my preferences in a very short period and I ended up accepting one of the offers. I couldn't believe this was such an easy process for me which saved me so much time and money as I doubt that I would have been able to get the final price that he achieved. Great service and would certainly recommend this company.

Fast response

Fast response. I had a quote within 24 hours and at a great price, over $6600 off RRP and $5700 better than what the local dealer offered me.
A pleasure to deal with.

Guy contacted me regarding finding me best price on sr hilux, assured me would not take him more than 4 hours to get back to me with best price in WA. Waited 2 days now and no return info/ call regarding new vehicle purchase, if he couldn’t find a better price than I could personally at any Toyota dealership at least have the common courtesy to let me know, would not recommend these chancers again, buyer beware.

Thanks for the feedback, and we’re sorry. You were told we’d come back to you within four hours, and we didn’t.

Our team was continuing to work with dealers in the hope of coming back to you with a better price rather than a neutral update, but we should have kept you informed while we did that. We understand how the lack of communication affected your experience and fell short of what we promised.

We’ve tried to reach you a few times today and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you and make this right.
