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!

"Well after writing a brilliant review when doing the deal, I haven’t had much of a good experience at all since. It started when the engine light came on the car just as I drove away from the garage, so took back and they was very good with that got it fixed as quick as they could. However I finally picked the car up on Thursday and was over the moon with it..." Read more

Car was not there as it was broken down with both gearbox and central locking faults First sales rep (a young lady) didn't mention it was broken, just not there? Second salesman advised it had a central locking fault. It was only..." Read more

"Complete sham Had valuations on 2 cars that I wanted to trade in. Customer services very helpful, was advised to take cars to Mountsorrel. Took mint condition SLK and after a 20 minute detailed inspection and photos taken was advised to have a drink and he would work out some figures. Came back £500 less than the online guide. Absolutely disgusted wasted..." Read more

"I'm going to keep this review short sharp and to the point. Do not pay a £99 reserve fee for a car and the £57 they charge to move a car. When you go on auto trader it will say the car is local to you generally there not. Then you get basically mislead that they will move the car. We did this and had a car coming to bradford from Southampton delivery Wed..." Read more

"I'd be cautious with this company. Don't get blindsided by all the reviews under 'most relevant'. Make an effort to read the 1-star reviews, and you'll find that people are stating their genuine grievances with this company following their poor experiences. I enquired about a car and submitted a financing application. Everything went well. There was great s..." Read more

"100% not interested in customer ‘care’. My car broke down, it’s under warranty and now I have to wait 48 hours for some in customer ‘care’ to get back to me. They are only available by e mail. Not really a fair or proportional amount of time is it as obviously I can’t use the vehicle at all. "

"Cars priced at retail price and no where near retail ready. I was told car was in perfect condition over the phone which I believed as I thought Carsa were a big player who had high standards. When I went to collect I was still under that assumption and they didn't give me time to properly look over, when I finally checked properly I found out the car is ver..." Read more

Then turns out the car I wanted was not automation despite it saying it was on the website and being reassured by the company that it was an automatic over the phone. They then tried to palm me off with a car that was older..." Read more
