About Carsa


Newly founded in 2020, we are looking to change how you can buy your car. With many dealers offering an online-only buying experience there are still millions of people who want to visit a sales forecourt to see a car, without being hassled by the conventional stereotypical salesperson that the people have grown to dislike.

At Carsa we have a firm belief that you should be able to visit a showroom in a hassle-free low-stress environment where the coffee is always hot, and the atmosphere is always vibrant. We are not here to make a quick sale and instead will work with you finding you the perfect car that will fit within your budget. We have a range of stock that is competitively priced using AutoTrader daily pricing data so you can be sure you are getting the car for the best price.

With the latest video-conferencing technology available the Specialists are always on hand to help when you have questions, and our showroom hosts are there on-site to ensure your experience is the best it can be. With sites in Southampton, Mountsorrel & Bradford we offer Click & Collect from these locations, but we also offer Home Delivery nationwide.

The knowledge of the team in car sales goes back over many decades so what they don’t know about cars is not worth knowing. With knowledge from franchise, independent and car supermarkets, our staff have a passion to help you find a car that is right for you and will make it an easy and enjoyable time. Don’t just take our word for it, our customers agree and have rated us excellent on here!

"I'm writing to express our disappointment with our recent experience with this company and the Bolton branch or CARSA. My wife and I visited the dealership to collect our new car, which we were told was ready for collection. However, upon arrival, we were not greeted and had to make ourselves known to the staff. When we finally began the paperwork, we ask..." Read more

"Not recommended, with a car always pushes you to buy extra insurance (GAP) and extra safety features from third-class companies and make their commission. Companies after some time go into administration and give you nightmares with their financial contract and damage your credit file just because a CARSA agent thinks good about you to offers extra care for..."

"Bought a car just under 2 weeks ago, was served by a lovely gent called Sunile, nothing was to much trouble and I can’t fault his customer service at all. Over the course of the first week driving it, multiple faults were appearing on my dash board which for a 3 year old car, shouldn’t be occurring. As I’m within my rights to do so, I wanted to reject the ca..." Read more

"I would give -5 if it were possible. Two days prior to viewing of a car I cancelled the viewing and requested a refund of my £99 deposit. Now 4 calls and just over 2 weeks later I am still waiting! Shameful :( Liam Gilbert was very efficient in taking my money. But extremely reluctant and evasive about refunding it!! "

"Terrible after purchase customer service from the Bradford branch. They didn’t register the car in my name at time of purchase despite it taking 30 seconds to do. I’ve chased 5 times over the last 10 days, several promises of it getting sorted & someone will call me back but yet again on the phone chasing again. They never answer the phone & make false pro..."

"Avoid Carsa if you do not want to buy a faulty car that they take no responsibility for and then have to deal with their inadequate customer service. After 3 months of owning the car (which I brought from their Southampton branch) I started having mechanical issues, after a few emails back and fourth Carsa finally came to the agreement that they would repair..."

"Absolutely shocking service. Very amateur. I opted for home delivery but when it arrived they couldn’t do a hand over because of a warning light. They took it back to base and carried out some work, then brought the car back to my home. They didn’t tell me what work had been carried out after asking. Fast forward 2 days I exited the car but couldn’t back int..." Read more

"Absolute appalling service start to finish! Would never advise anyone to buy a car from here. Salesmen don’t look like they enjoy their jobs. Swear about their colleague to the customer. I arrived and the guy huffed at me and walked of even though I had reserved a 21k car! Please avoid this place, Paul doesn’t have a clue what he is doing. Slimmy and unprofe..." Read more

"Definitely Would Not Recommend – Regret Ever Purchasing from Carsa I purchased a car from Carsa, and within just 3 days, the engine management light (EML) came on.

"We went into Carsa today to buy a car which was advertised on the website in our area. The assistant at customer care said the car was somewhere in Southhampton (didnt know where) she said we could pay a refundable £99 deposit but had no idea when we might get it. When I asked if it would be weeks or months for delivery the response was a dismissive, “dont..." Read more
