Came in mid December to pick a used car up, our previous car still has not had the finance paid off it and when questioned the finance had been sent with the new cars registration number causing confusion but also another payment on a car we do not own anymore. Usually wouldn't review but as I used to be a head of sales for a main car dealer I know how it should be done in an efficient manner - not having to chase up! Love the new car but the stress with having to chase something up that isn't our fault and causes us financial stress is not on!

I was helped by the excellent Becca; I went in unsure of what car I wanted, but Becca made me feel at ease and guided me to the perfect car for me, an Audi. She was really courteous and attentive to my every requirement when it came to selecting the ideal vehicle. She couldn't be more accommodating. Thank you so much Becca! :)

We visited car time for a new car within budget, Michaela Street greeted us with a smile at the door and took us under her wing straight away. She went above and beyond for the car we wanted within the budget and within 48 hours we have walked away with a car perfect for our family.
2nd time using cartime and the effort and speed they do things is unbelievable, wouldn't go else where for a car.
Michaela Street gets a 10/10 from us :)

Becca served my wife and me, and we've never experienced such outstanding customer service, especially from the younger age. She was kind, considerate, and a great listener, as she was able to find us a wonderful car at an incredible price. What a wonderful young lady she is. Thank you so much, Becca.
