Unfortunately, the reviews posted on TP are neither an accurate or a genuine reflection on our ratings. All our verified reviews, based on genuine experiences and after-sales services, are readily available on other review sites. These sites do not allow fake reviews. However, TP has been removing legitimate verified positive reviews from our customers to ‘encourage’ us into purchasing paid plans to improve our rating scores, while refusing to remove unverified reviews. Over the past four months, TP has removed 86 verified positive reviews from our page however, allowed false, inaccurate and unverified reviews published, even after we provided information to confirm the reviews were false and misleading. AInterestingly, TP contacted us via email, offering upgraded subscriptions with promises of a quick improvement in impact (star ratings) Essentially, paying them would stop the removal of positive reviews and increase our score. This kind of behaviour is a common issue with TP and small businesses. Our understanding is that the platform's prioritisation of revenue generation over the integrity of its review system undermines the reliability of the reviews displayed. This perceived bias towards paying clients, combined with the lack of clear, transparent and consistent review moderation processes, further erodes confidence in TP's ability to provide an honest and fair representation of customer feed In addition, any positive reviews posted are automatically removed by Trustpilot, unless we provide a sales invoice as proof it was posted by a genuine customer, however negative false reviews are allowed to remain, even when we request proof of a sales invoice, or even an email address Trustpilot refuse to provide to us. Trustpilot reviews are not verified, and Trustpilot reviews are NOT to be trusted.

⭐ Very Happy With My First Car Purchase

I recently bought my first car from this dealer and had a great experience. The staff were very friendly, helpful, and honest throughout the process. They explained everything clearly and made the buying process smooth and stress-free. I’m very happy with my car and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to buy a vehicle. Thank you for the excellent service!

Harry and team are amazing to deal with

Harry and team are amazing to deal with. Nothing is to much and always completed with a smile. They handled collecting my vehicle promptly and without any issues.

I will suggesting Harry and the team at Car Hub to all my family and friends for any vehicle purchases in the future.

What an easy way to buy a car

What an easy way to buy a car, Harry was so helpful from the first call on a Thursday to picking the car up Saturday, through videos of the car before, through its pdi and at the finish. He was an honest straightforward guy, thanks Harry that was a pleasure

Top Notch !

Collected an Audi Q3 on Monday 16th car perfect everything fine drove it back home myself and son very happy. On the Tuesday noticed car tail light flickering and went out completely this was noticed outside office hours. Phoned the mobile number for car central Birmingham Harry answered straight away to my surprise. Harry sorted it no problem and got a driver out next day to collect the car. Car was collected as promised early hours of the morning , Harry kept me informed all day for updates on the car. Problem solved and myself updated promptly and with detail with videos of my car. Harry then said on that day he would bring it home in the evening , however due to the time I said as it would be a 4 hour round trip I advised to come the following day. They did just that and came early hours the next morning and updated me via phone for estimated eta. When the person arrived he asked me to check the vehicle to ensure I was happy. Car Central Birmingham with extra mention to Harry and Sam have exceeded my expectations and I am very impressed by the customer service.

Happy

Just bought a Ford Kuga and had it delivered 160+miles. Was in contact with Harry throughout the transaction friendly and helpful. All work that was found on MOT and service was dealt with and invoices sent as proof via whatsapp. Car has arrived as described with loads of paperwork and RAC warranty. Deliver driver has happy and smiling when he arrived.

5 star service

5 star service
Absolutely brilliant from start to finish. I inquired about a car on Auto Trader, and called, Harry replied and answered all my questions. straight away I make a appointment to see the car in more detail. After the checking and test drive I was confident that the car was for me. Car Hub Birmingham advised me how they work in regards to MOTs and free RAC break down service. we agreed, I payed deposit to put it through the MOT and do any work needed rather than my viewing the car. I went back on the agreed day I was greeted by a lovely, smiling lady at the reception who pointed the car keys out to me. Wow,, they change the cam belt and the water pump for free,I felt so happy. I took it for a drive after checking its immaculate body, and the drive confirmed it even more. Harry and his colleague were lovely, very polite, and honest, with no pressure. I genuinely think this man is great at his job and truly cares about making his customers happy. Would definitely purchase from them again. Thanks guys, all the best to Car Hub Birmingham.

Honestly never experienced anything…

Honestly never experienced anything like it.
Firstly I paid deposit and asked for home delivery in 3.5 weeks. During this period I attempted contact by phone, WhatsApp and email. I barely received answers. As approaching delivery day I reached out, after being ignored and having calls not returned (to which they sent an email apologising after a complaint). When we asked for an ETA they hadn’t even booked the delivery. Then they booked it in and lo and behold it didn’t arrive. Shocker.
The following day it arrived after being driven, not delivered, 100+ miles. Upon arrival it had a side light out. My wife took it for a test drive and had to put diesel in it. After this the car wouldn’t start as it didn’t recognise the key so she was left stranded at the petrol station. Then the cheek for the awful Harry to call and say “what’s the problem “.
Even the driver that they cheekily had drive it down rather than deliver it said that it was shaking at 70mph and it “wasn’t right”. The ball joint had supposedly been fixed by them as it was an advisory yet Harry said they don’t do tracking after that. This should have been done immediately!
The customer service is the worst I’ve encountered and sad to say the negative reviews ring very true.
They try to justify their shocking service by putting phones down and shouting, resorting to name calling.
They couldn’t care less.
I’m sure they will respond to this in the fashion they have to other negative reviews and somehow try and spin it on the customer.
The car was even registered in my wife’s name before we even bought it and got done speeding on the way to bringing it to us! We only knew this when we received the speeding notice in the post.
Having to pursue through small claims court, my card issuer and report to action fraud and police.
Now being threatened and harassed to remove my honest review on here. Think they forget I have all the emails, messages and images to prove my case as well as the speeding notice complete with time, date, location and images (also showing the car with the faults they denied it having!)
The predictable reply below saying they contacts the DVLA. Strange that as we did and have a response in writing from them stating we have to put in writing and sign the letter stating that we never registered ourselves as the owner offhand vehicle.
What is even more damming for them is you will notice they don’t address any issues surrounding the car itself and their conduct. Not the fact that had the car been delivered on the day it should by the method it should in the condition it should, then none of this would be relevant.
All evidence has been provided to you as you well know, I don’t think you are pulling the wool over anyone’s eyes with your response to this review. The images have been shared on my google review of you and with the RAC, trading standards and Staffordshire Police.
Maybe try to act in a professional manner rather than an argument via trustpilot

As a matter of standard business practice — particularly in long-distance sales — we do not register vehicles immediately. This is to ensure compliance with the Consumer Rights Act 2015, as registering a vehicle prematurely can complicate or delay any potential rejection or refund process. Logbooks (V5C) can take several weeks to be issued, we must retain possession of the V5C before any ownership transfer is finalised.
Under no circumstances would we register a vehicle to an individual who has not completed the purchase the car had only a £99 deposit on it.
We never register a vehicle without full cleared payment.
Doing so would expose the business to significant financial and legal risk and would be entirely contrary to standard motor trade practice.
The vehicle was delivered on 30 Jan 2026. The purchase was not completed

DVLA has confirmed that no new keeper registration has been processed for this vehicle, we suggest you contact the DVLA to confirm.

We do not hold your wife’s personal details and therefore could not register a vehicle in her name.

If a keeper change had been processed, a V5C would automatically be issued to the registered keeper within approximately 5–7 working days, we are fully aware after speaking to the DVLA, and as per the HPI report which has been emailed to you today 14th Feb there is NO keeper change.
DVLA further advised that you insured vehicle in your wife’s name, and that this information would be visible to enforcement authorities via the Motor Insurance Database (MID). We are not privy to MID entries; however, DVLA indicated that this is the likely basis upon which enforcement have linked the vehicle details.

Insuring a vehicle generally requires an insurable interest and/or the consent of the legal owner. We did not provide consent for you to the vehicle, the vehicle legally belonged to ourselves.

With regard to the review you have published and the statements being made, we refer you to our previous correspondence concerning the Defamation Act 2013. We confirm that we are continuing to pursue this matter in accordance with that legislation.
We will fully cooperate with any official investigation and will provide documentary evidence where required.

All of the above has been confirmed by the DVLA, and by the HPI report that we have sent over to you today however the fact remains that you insured the car in your wife's name when you had not paid for it, or asked us for permission to do so.

**** UPDATE *****
We note your predictable response stating that you have contacted the DVLA. As previously made clear, we too have spoken directly with the DVLA, most recently at 11:45 a.m. on 14/02/2026.
Once again, you have failed to address the fundamental facts:
The HPI report has not been updated to reflect any previous owner.
We did not know your wife’s name at the time in question.
Most importantly, the DVLA have confirmed that when a V5C is issued in a new keeper’s name, a unique document reference number is generated. That reference number is specific to that V5C and that named keeper. Any previous document reference numbers become invalid for taxation purposes.
Following our call with the DVLA, we went online & successfully taxed the vehicle using the exact document ref number on the V5C currently in our possession.
This categorically demonstrates that your assertion is entirely fabricated. If the V5C had been changed into another name, the document reference number in our possession would not permit the vehicle to be taxed. It did.
You have provided no documentary evidence to support your claims.
Accordingly, we are disregarding your comments as fictitious.
We also note your continued failure to address the substantive issues regarding the vehicle itself and your conduct throughout this matter. Had the vehicle been delivered on the agreed date, by the agreed method, and in the agreed condition, none of this would be relevant.
Your avoidance of those points is noted.

Try before judging

I asked many questions before I set off on a 2 1/2 HR drive to Birmingham. I was told I wouldn't be disappointed and the car would be ready to drive away if I wanted.
I was delighted at the condition of the car when I arrived so took it for a test drive, inspected engine and all the gadgets.
Everything was spot on, I couldn't find any faults to barter down the price.
Hence I own a brilliant car now, thanks to Harry and his team.
I wouldn't hesitate in buying from him when I come to change in a few years.

Shocking company avoid.

Shocking company avoid.
Paid a deposit for a vehicle and then spent the next 12 days trying to arrange collection, I spoke to three different people, all promised to call back, none did.
I then cancelled the purchase under the Consumer Rights Act and within the 14 day cooling off period, I followed this up in writing a few days later.
They tried to withhold my deposit.
They should be avoided at all costs as they don't return calls and their customer service is non existent.

Their response is wholly inaccurate and clearly an attack on an individual and clearly trying to bully me by mentioning my name and the company I work for, failing to recognise that they have broken the law under the GDPR and are now getting reported.
Their response is a work of fiction but not unexpected.
Unlike the accurate review of my experience with this company, it just goes to show how they behave, I am now taking legal action against them for defamation of character.
Fortunately unlike this despicable company I have evidence including emails and telephone logs, I do not need to invent a response

Mr Daniels, you have failed to mention several points in your review. The first being, on 3 occasions you sent us incorrect bank details, and on third email, dated the 27th January, when you finally sent the correct details you were reimbursed that same day. Additionally, you fail to mention your abhorrent language sent by email on more than one occasion. On not one occasion did we react to your irrational behaviour. Your review in itself is far from accurate all correspondence has been documented and logged. we look forward to hearing from your legal team.

Awful company

Awful company, they literally don’t care about the service they are providing.
Brought a car in September 25, broke down after 3 days, they couldn’t repair it after 8 weeks of chasing. Finally agreeed to refund my money, and guess what, we are still waiting for this refund. Whenever I call to chase up I’m told I’ll get a phone call, which never happens. Now having to go through small claims court.
Awful awful service, AVOID AVOID AVOID

DONT BUY FROM THEM

Claiming to have 2 new tyres on the car yet the newest tyres on the car read dot code 48/22 and were down on tread a red flag to start off aswell as the car was already warmed up so I couldn’t hear any potential issues on a cold start .
Car claimed to have had a clean fresh mot but it really shouldn’t have been, advisories missed for simple things like tyres being down to 2mm of tread down to an oil leak not specified, to a dangerous fault of the left rear door not latching/ shutting properly, when confronting the salesperson about the issues I found containing the state of the car and the mot only being done a matter of days ago I felt the car shouldn’t have had an mot as clean as it had, after saying I was not willing to pay the ridiculous price set for the car in the current state with bits of trim missing from the door and the door cards sagging, the sales person obviously took insult and rather than explaining why, the attitude and behaviour he showed is not what you’d expect from a “professional” salesperson, after claiming timing chains don’t need to be changed even though Volkswagen aswell as RAC recommend timing chains are changed at 80,000 to 120,000 miles and since the car is on 80,000+ miles you’d expect it to have been changed but no, also being told I was wrong by someone who had apparently “been in the trade for 30 years” which I find hard to believe, I also find it quite funny that there is an issue with the RAC/AA coverage as they can’t seem to decide if they have RAC warranty or AA warranty also doesn’t seem to be on the RAC website confirming said Coverage while also meant to be RAC “Approved” dealer, was also told when I opened the boot to no boot floor mat/ spare wheel that they would “fedex one up to me
In Scotland”. Also being told to “take it for a spin” with no dealer plates and no fuel in the car to take it for a drive just tells you things aren’t great at this garage is, last thing to note, when I queried about the warm startup not sounding right the salesperson had his mechanic try to start the car to see if anything sounded wrong, after failing to get the car to keep running after startup twice I knew it was time to leave and never return. On a somewhat positive note the woman behind the desk was a delight and very respectful and made sure I had received the email to get my money back from the Autotrader reservation I paid.

Hi Jason,

Thank you for your feedback. We do, however, need to address a number of inaccuracies and misrepresentations in your review.

Firstly, the vehicle was not “already warmed up” to hide faults. It had been moved around the site, as is normal in a working dealership environment. The car starts and runs correctly. Notably, despite stating you work in the motor trade, you required assistance to locate the bonnet release lever.

Regarding the tyres, the vehicle was fitted with two newer tyres, which were clearly visible and discussed. A DOT code does not determine legality or safety on its own. The vehicle had a valid MOT carried out by an independent MOT testing station. Any suggestion of a “ghost MOT” is incorrect and unfounded.

Claims of dangerous faults, a door not latching, and the vehicle repeatedly failing to run are also inaccurate. These issues were not demonstrated during your visit and are not present in our own checks.

On timing chains, they are not scheduled service items and do not have a mandatory replacement interval. Manufacturer and industry guidance varies by engine, and suggesting a fixed mileage replacement is misleading.

You also state the vehicle was “ridiculously overpriced”. This was a 13-year-old SEAT, clearly advertised with full details and pricing prior to your visit. You chose to travel over 10 hours to view the vehicle, having had ample opportunity to review the advert, price, age, and specification beforehand. Pricing was transparent, and no obligation to purchase was placed upon you.

With regard to warranty, the available options were explained at the time. Any confusion could have been clarified without confrontation.

Despite the above, we ensured your AutoTrader reservation was refunded promptly, which you acknowledged. We also note your positive comments regarding our front-of-house staff, which are appreciated.

We stand by our vehicles, our pricing, and our professional conduct, and we wish you the best in finding a vehicle that better meets your expectations.

Kind regards,

I don’t normally give 5 stars but….

I don’t normally give 5 stars but I just couldn’t fault them on their service. It was fast and efficient and got me out of a real bind. The car itself is perfect, I couldn’t be happier. Hopefully won’t need another car for a while but when I do I will be checking in with them first.

Horrible

Horrible, found a Mazda CX 5 and got in touch with them , very quick to answer, paid £99 deposit and all seem good, agreed to come a week later to see the car ( that was 29th December) one day before got a message to cancel as the person that was meant to be there ended up in hospital and Harry is In Spain. Nothing about rescheduling, he said he's trying to get someone to come in and will let me know. Been waiting a whole day with no update, chased him and in the end he said he can't find anyone. Still nothing about rescheduling. Asked for my deposit back and still waiting. Stay away !

We apologise you felt your experience was 'horrible' as the member of staff who was going in to show you the car was admitted to hospital. Unfortunately as we were shut that week, there was no-one else available to accommodate you. As you have already mentioned, the other member of staff was out of the country. Please rest assured your refund is in hand, and has been processed, however as it is Christmas/New Year, it may take slightly longer to reach your bank account, however, it will be with you well within the terms and conditions timeline. We are sorry that we had a member of staff suddenly take unwell and it inconvenienced you. Please feel free to contact us when we reopen on January 2nd should you have any further queries. Wishing you a very happy 2026.
