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!

Not my fault but it’s me in a cost of living crisis having to fork out more money than needed. Already sold my car so not much I could do b..." Read more

"Absolutely shocking company to deal with. They give you a price on a vehicle expecting to knock the price down and when they can’t they look for any excuse not pay the figure agreed. To be told that someone is getting sacked on Monday seems very unprofessional, as is whole process of dealing with them. Communication is poor. The £99 takes an age to be return..." Read more

"Car not properly prepared for viewing. I flew over to see the car but interior valeting was not done properly. Want to mention one thing that what is the point of buying from a dealer when you are offered a 15£ valeting. The car needs to be at least clean from inside and ready for customer for viewing and things should be mentioned to the customer before arr..." Read more

"I bought a car with full service history in May 23 for £24k. We quickly realised on our way home that the service history was missing. So phoned Carsa to let them know and they said they would send it in the post. This never materialised! I have contacted on numerous times by phone and WhatsApp with promises that it will be dealt with. I’m afraid has never b..." Read more

"Myself and my partner were really disappointed with our experience considering we were there to get our dream car. The sales man didn’t try to sell us a car and told us that ‘if we don’t buy the car someone else will’. He was moaning about how quiet it was and how he hadn’t sold anything as of yet (so you would’ve thought a potential sale would have motivat..." Read more

"Shockingly poor customer service from as lady in sales. Condescending, rude, interrupting me when I was giving honest and accurate feedback on how misleading the website layout was and giving some user feedback. I tried to suggest putting the finance example at the bottom of the web page or making it accurate to the car's ACTUAL price. Or even placing the..." Read more

"Awful customer service. I paid the £99 deposit to reserve a car and had agreed home delivery. However, I wasn't contacted about the home delivery and when I tried to call - I never got through to an agent. I used the WhatsApp chat to contact Carsa and was told that the delivery manager had been attempting to contact me and left voicemails (this was untrue)...." Read more

I still haven’t receive my V5 document and I’ve been promised it will be dealt with, nothing. I’ve been promised a call from a Manager, nothing. I’ve been passed to pillar and post and..." Read more

"Wrong information all the times!! 1. Car features (The web said the car equipped Apple CarPlay but does not). 2. Staff gave wrong car collection period (Before I paid the deposit, the staff said I can collect in 3 weeks, after that, they said I must collect in 72 hours, inconvenience caused) 3. Very bad in after sales (No email reply until now, after 5 days..." Read more

I tried to explain myself and they would not listen to what I have to say and kept speaking over me. There is no customer service at all with this company and I am surely going to get in touch with a motor ombudsman to see if..." Read more

We agreed we would like to speak to someone about purchasing the car and we’re told this had to be done via zoom and it could take up to an hour. 2 hours later we joined a call and tried to make a deal as the car had damage to it which was not described on the advert.

"After test driving a car I was pressured by the sales person to put down a deposit for the car, since requesting a refund which the sales guy said would be 3 days I still have not received this and have had no communication. Avoid this dealer if you don't want to be pressured into a deal"

This is really sad that I bought my car from Carsa believing that they were a reputed dealer, and thought that they sell road worthy cars, but they were no where near. I was told that 204-point vehicle inspection was carried out on the vehicle prior to the sell, and I believed that the dealer would do safety ch..." Read more

Kept getting fobbed off with excuses of head office short staffed, technology issues, someone on lunch and they are with a customer. Each one of these from a different person and kept getting told it’ll be 5 minutes. Absolute joke. We were stood there asking..." Read more
