Nice car

Nice car, drives well. Cinch say it is delivered to your local cinch and then to your home address. My car was driven from Derby adding 220 miles to the odometer which I'm not happy about.
The interior was dirty, partly due to it being driven so far but there is a sticky substance in the interior door handles, around the switches is grease and dirt. It basically looked like someone had given the interior a wipe with a damp cloth. The exterior was dirty too but once I found out it had been driven so far that was understandable. However I have washed it myself and there are bird lime stains on the bonnet which a proper valet would have cleaned off. Not that impressed and won't be recommending to anyone

Good service by Kamran

Kamran delivered my new car and explained everything to me, quick relaxed easy handover.
The car itself arrived with a couple of minor issues that I've raised and got a response for straight away so hopefully they are resolved quickly now going for.
If they are I'd highly recommend Cinch as the whole process so far has been quick and easy but these issues now being resolved are what we all really care about.

Avoid Cinch at all costs

Avoid Cinch at all costs, this might be quite lengthy, however i will endeavour to minimise but still show important points.
I purchased a Vauxhall Crossland in June 2026, up until the point of delivery all was good. the car was filthy inside and outside and the car had a faulty starter motor and ring gear, when i tried to start the car, i thought the car was running and i tried to start it again, making a grinding noise. my second biggest mistake in life was accepting this car and not returning it.
i got a date of July 13th to take the car in for repair, ok up till now. Reece Kennedy, customer support advisor, who was as helpful as a chocolate fire guard , told me i would get a courtesy car once the car had been with them 8 hours.
After 24 hours, i asked for a courtesy car and was told, no it’s only when the mechanics have been working on the car for more than 8 hours !
the car sat at Mossend for over 2 weeks before getting started, we live in a rural area and my wife desperately needed the car for work. She took the first week off work as a holiday then subsequently lost 8 working days off work, with no wages.
Eventually i was offered a manual gearbox car, to which i had told Reece on several occasions, it had to be an automatic. Eventually and thanks to Jade, i got a hire car but was told i only had it for a week and could only do 500 miles.
i was told By Reece on many occasions, he would keep me updated, he never did, unless i called him and then it was a case of, could be, should be, hopefully !
i emailed the CEO of Cinch twice, as yet several weeks later, no reply.
I emailed Customer services manager, Matt Barclay, who promised on 3 occasions to expedite the repair and get back to me, he never did, no surprise there.
i managed to speak to a gentleman in complaints department (Arron) who promised to email me back that evening and didn’t. i chased again 5 days later and spoke to him, his attitude wasn’t great, in fairness, he did offer me a pittance in compensation to which i reluctantly accepted.
he then emailed me to say that money would be in my bank within 7 days, there was no reply address given or even his name on the email apart from Cinch.
the message also said, please do not hesitate to reply to this email for any further help.Next line,
This email address does not accept messages.
Cinch will probably reply in the usual standard way by copying and pasting there usual reply.
Cinch is part of the Webuyany car and British car auctions group.
avoid this cowboy outfit at all costs.
one positive note, Kyle and Jordan (mechanics) whilst under extreme pressure, did a great job, albeit they had my car for 6 weeks, yes 6 weeks. not their fault, probably due to the pressure put on them by a irresponsible employer.

It was a pleasant experience from start to finish. They guys handed over my new car with lots of information, helped me navigate the automatic gears as I had never driven automatic, and didn’t rush me at all.

Decent experience

I had a booked oppointment to view a car with a view to buying it. The staff were friendly and helpfull including the front desk giving my kids colouring. Max the salesman was very helpfull and was also honest about the limits of his knowledge. Everything he said was accurate (i had already done significant research beforehand but didnt tell him). I liked that they left you alone with the car as well. I would have liked to know beforehand that there was no drive home insurance and was lucky i had time to sit there and arrange this. I would consider this branch in corby again.

The best way to buy a used car. The whole buying process was clear

The whole buying process was clear, concise and professional. The car's condition was better than I had expected from the photos. Really pleased with my purchase and I'd definitely recommend using Cinch.

Excellent service from Brendan

I had a really lovely experience with Brendan Murray when my new car was delivered. He was relatively new to the job, but you would never have known it. He was incredibly kind, patient and friendly throughout the whole delivery.

He took the time to explain everything about my new car and answered all my questions without making me feel rushed. He was clearly keen to make sure I was comfortable and understood everything before he left.

Brendan was a pleasure to deal with and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. He is a great asset to the team, and I really appreciate how helpful and welcoming he was.

From start to finish easy

From start to finish, from phoning up just before lunch time to arriving at Cinch to purchasing our second EV, Joe was so helpful. We had a look at at another car but settled on our first choice. The only hitch was using Starling bank to verify funds. Where there's a will, there's a way. By 4 o'clock we had our new car. The handover was probably the easiest thing to do. Ian Neal was great, finishing off the paperwork and handing over the keys. Would I recommend Cinch, without a doubt, no faff, just straight talking and no pressure selling.
