Very poor service

Phoned in the morning to enquire about a vehicle and was told the car needed to be fetched from storage so we couldn't view until afternoon. Arranged to view/test drive at the agreed time. Travelled an hour to attend the appointment only to be told the car had been sold to a "walk in". A phone call to let us know would have been appreciated - very unprofessional and definitely would not recommend.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sincerely sorry for the disappointment and frustration caused by your experience.

We completely understand how upsetting it must have been to travel for over an hour, only to find the vehicle had already been sold. We also apologise that you weren't contacted beforehand, as we appreciate this would have saved you an unnecessary journey. This is not the level of communication or service we aim to provide.

We value your feedback and will be reviewing what happened with our team to help prevent similar situations in the future. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention, and we wish you all the best in finding the right vehicle.

Excellent customer service. Emily arranged everything swiftly, including car delivery. The car arrived promptly in lovely condition as described. My first experience of buying a car online but I would have no hesitation to buy from BTS cars again.

Questionable?

The speed and efficiency of the sale was excellent. However, my score reflects that on receipt of the vehicle, it arrived with a warning ⚠️ light regarding the tyre sensor. Unbeknown to me what that meant, but I was assured that BTS would pay for it to be rectified, but that wasn't the case. I was told to get it repaired, then send the invoice, which I did. It was a few days later that I was told the warranty didn't cover tyres. I feel the repair should have been honoured seeing how the car was delivered with the defect.

UPDATE:
Since my review, I received an email, with apologies, and asked to contact BTS again so that this matter could be looked at again, which I did on the 7th July 2026, and was told I would be contacted within a few days. Well, to date, a week later, I am still awaiting that call....not very good customer service in my book, which is why I've downgraded to 2 stars.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We're pleased to hear you were happy with the speed and efficiency of the sales process, but we're sorry to learn of your disappointment regarding the tyre pressure sensor warning.

We understand your frustration, particularly as the warning light was present when you received the vehicle. We apologise for any confusion caused by the communication around the repair and reimbursement. This is certainly not the experience we want our customers to have, and we appreciate you bringing it to our attention.

If you haven't already done so, we'd welcome the opportunity to review your case again. Please contact our customer service team with your details so we can look into the matter further and ensure it has been handled appropriately.

Friendly, helpful, overall brilliant!

Well worth travelling as far as I did for my first car. The team were extremely helpful and patient with me navigating and sorting through all the documentation that had to be looked over. Excellent service overall, thank you!

Signed all paperwork to buy the car and once done, we were told there was only 1 key. We then found the key was damaged but they were closed by then. 2 weeks later and still trying to sort this issue out

Amazing Experience

Amazing Experience, received car with a fresh Service. Really happy, I even noticed a quite small stone chip on the drivers door no one had noticed and I was really surprised to have a £100 taken off the price of the car for the inconvenience. Really recommend Emily & Rob they are both really helpful. Will return in the future.

Hi,

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely review.

We're really pleased to hear you were happy with the car and the fresh service carried out before collection. We always aim to be as transparent as possible, so when the small stone chip was noticed, it was only right that we addressed it and found a fair solution.

Emily and Rob will be delighted to hear your kind words. They both work hard to make the car buying experience as straightforward and enjoyable as possible, so it's great to know they looked after you well.

We truly appreciate your recommendation and look forward to welcoming you back to BTS Cars in the future.

Best wishes,

Wonderful service

The service provided at BTS cars was exceptional and I would recommend them without hesitation. I usually find buying a car a dreadful experience full of anxiety and pressure but this was most certainly not the case here. They were incredibly efficient and we are delighted with our car.

Great customer service from Rob but a couple of problems

Great customer service from Rob. The charging cable didn’t work which BTS replaced without a problem, but IMHO should have been tested pre sale.
Unfortunately the boot of the car was not cleaned well. We saw that dog hairs were around and although Rob had ok’d the car to be picked up he did offer a further clean. Circumstances meant that this was very inconvenient so we took the car anyhow. Upon closer inspection the boot was absolutely filthy and the carpets will need a proper shampoo etc. My hands were black after spending a few hours trying to get rid of the dog hairs. Tbh the car wasn’t really ready for a customer to take, especially a customer spending over £20k! Other than that all has been great and if the car had been cleaned properly and supplied with a working cable it would be 5 stars (so far!)

Thank you for taking the time to leave your detailed feedback. We're pleased to hear that Rob provided great customer service and that the charging cable issue was resolved without any problems.

We are sorry, however, that the vehicle preparation did not meet the standard you expected, particularly regarding the condition of the boot and the dog hairs left behind. We completely understand your disappointment, especially given the investment you made in your vehicle, and we appreciate your honesty in bringing this to our attention.

Your comments regarding the charging cable checks and the cleanliness of the vehicle have been passed on to the team so we can improve our processes and ensure our cars are presented to the highest standard before handover.

We're glad to hear that everything else has been great with the car so far, and we hope you continue to enjoy it. Thank you again for your feedback and for choosing BTS Cars.
