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!

"Bought a car on Saturday, very pleased with the car. They were unable to locate the V5 so was given a V62 and told to take to the post office so we could tax the car. We asked at the time if we were allowed to drive without taxing there and then and were told we had five days to do so. Having been to the post office I was unable to tax the vehicle and was to..."

"Aftera 2 hour journey I arrive to be told the car is not at Southampton even after multiple messages/phone conversations/texts confirming it definitely will be. I paid the deposit to ensure it would be there. Pathetic apology and appalling customer service on site. Would not recommend to anyone and I’m off to a proper dealer now. Very disappointing"

"Been waiting 4 days just to try find out the history on a car and imperfections, but keep getting told someone will get back to me with the information but just don’t happen . If that’s how you treat potential customers, I hate to think how your after sales service is like . You have 100% lost my trust and business. "

"I reserved a car with this company, a few days later someone called me insisting that I go through and apply for finance which would make the process easier and I could drive away on that day with the car, note that I was only going to view the car 10 days after they called and to get finance on a car you haven’t seen is a bit silly so I refused and the pers..."

"I will try and keep this as short and direct as possible. I would AVOID this company at all costs!! At the end of February this year I bought a car on finance through Carsa. In that instance all was fine and went smoothly, HOWEVER, a couple of days after having the car I decided to not keep the car due to the common wet belt issues that I had heard about an..."

"Terrible. Bought a car for 17k plus 1k warranty (which covers nothing) less than 2 years ago and had Nothing but Issues with it… so far spent £2500 on repairs. Carsa literally won’t help you at all when something goes wrong. Carsa please don’t comment on my review saying email customer care because it’s rubbish… been there done that. "

"No deposit refund received! Still waiting on my deposit to be returned after I decided not to purchase. Online chat and WhatsApp chat not answered. Looks as though I’ll be going through the small claims court! Call from Liam to say the deposit can be held for 3 months for another car. Basically it can’t be refunded as the car was moved from Cannock to Southa..." Read more

"DO NOT PAY £99 TO RESERVE you will not get your money back!! It is a scam. They take your money, tell you it will be returned in 10 working days. Liars! They will ignore you or fob you off. AVOID AT ALL COST. Don’t deserve one star."

"I have never been treated like here. Unfortunately, in a negative way. The first question I got in this salon was about my nationality. I feel as if the price and whether I will be served depends on my background. I went through the test drive with another man (a complete professional, it's a pity he didn't take care of my entire process). During my test dri..." Read more

"Complex range of high admin fees, which if you're viewing a vehicle from the Autotrader platform are not advertised. So be aware, the advertised price is not what you pay, there are fees on top the profit margin already built into the advertised price of vehicle. Avoid Carsa if you can."

"Terrible company. Advertised a car at one price, contacted them to arrange a viewing and consider my part exchange. The next day I found they had increased the asking price for the vehicle. It is hard to trust a company that uses a flexible pricing policy."

"I gave up with this company. For two days I tried and tried to get the vehicles previous service history. But I kept getting false promises and excuses. All they're interested in is taking a deposite or arranging a viewing, and when you are at considerable distance the need for further BASIC information is a necessary requirement. The customer service was so..." Read more
