Decided to use carwow as it was one of…
Decided to use carwow as it was one of the companies recommended by a major car dealer. Also, carwow had the highest valuation for my vehicle. Overall very happy with my experience.
There is a step by step guide on the type of photos required. I got regular updates regarding the auction, sale of my vehicle and what to expect after my vehicle was sold.
Would definitely recommend this company to family and friends.
Sale price was good
Sale price was good, however purchaser was persistent in finding ways to knock the price down. Not a great experience at the back end. Quite confrontational
Joke
First time using this platform for selling my car
They set the reserve at £7000
Highest bid was £6200
I refused this, next thing I'm getting emails says "congratulations, you've sold your car at £6200"
"Someone will be picking your car up this week"
Absolute clowns, nobody will be picking it up
Joke

The price was competitive against other car dealers.
The pictures needed were in proportion
The garage which purchased the car were very professional
One down side is the lack of direct phone communications. Emails are often behind the events
Good Service with useful advice
I honestly felt that all the advice given by Car Wow was useful, it's important to emphasise the necessity to be very honest about your vehicle as the purchasing dealer does carry out a thougher examination at collection, the support from car Wow is good and of course there are no charges...all in all I would recommend..
Great Experience

Carwow is an exceptional auction service. Their expertise is evident, and they provide invaluable assistance with car sales. I am always pleased to recommend them.
Very helpful people
Very helpful people! Car was sold and picked up (and paid for) as promised.
Overall it was a decent experience
Overall it was a decent experience. Good communication throughout but the difference from original valuation to final amount was just too much! I was honest about the condition throughout and it didn’t even reach the reserve price which was disappointing.
Smooth process, but pricing felt misleading
The process of selling my car through Carwow was smooth and well organised, and communication was generally good. However, the final sale price was around £1,000 lower than the initial estimate, even though the car had no faults. I was told this was because the car would go through auction, which resulted in the reduced price.
While the overall experience was straightforward, the initial estimate felt somewhat misleading given the final outcome. Other than the pricing issue, everything else was fine.
Exceptional customer service
From start to finish, the service was absolutely outstanding. The entire process was made straightforward and stress-free, with clear guidance at every stage. Their website is exceptionally user-friendly, easy to navigate, and designed in a way that makes uploading documents and submitting all required information simple and efficient.
Overall, this has been one of the best experiences I’ve had in relation to car sales since owning a vehicle. The professionalism, clarity, and ease of the whole process truly set them apart. I would highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a smooth and reliable car sales experience.
Great Sale, Poor Collection
A reasonable smooth process in terms of the sale. Slightly disappointing sale price. Great communications with the buyer, a genuine dealer. However the collection process was poor, hence 4 stars. It took too long to get an agreed date. Then a couple of hours before collection it was cancelled, the next date was going to be another 6 days which just didnt work for us when taking time off work etc. In the end drove the car to the dealer 15 miles away myself. Money transferred within 15 minutes.
