Awful people to deal with. Harry is rude and turns into a bully if you raise a concern or question him. Look at the pattern of the reviews for this garage - 1 negative review results in a flurry of positive reviews saying they are amazing. For a small garage they have an extraordinary number of reviews. Read the 1-star ones, they are a realistic review of what this company is like.

The comprehensive services offered by this auto shop are truly impressive. They are honest and operate with integrity, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy a car. I also appreciate their extended working hours, which are very convenient for busy individuals. In addition, they provide an after-service checkup with every visit, demonstrating their strong commitment to customer safety.

Avoid at all costs- I’ve had nothing but problems with my car since buying from here despite being delivered with “fresh service and MOT”.
1. Arranged a delivery day and no sign of them despite waiting around for hours without zero communication they weren’t coming.
2. Arrived covered in scratches and bumps that were not advertised
3. Came with TPS light issue on dash board
4. Came with WRONG locking wheel nut so the garage charged me £350 to remove the tyres and replaced the nuts
5. After a few weeks the timing belt went causing me to shell out loads more money
These are just a number of the issues I’ve faced with the garage. Do not use them!

bought a car for my son, delivered with full Mot, no bonnet stay, blow heater not working, seats would not fold forwards so no way would this pass an Mot, engine management lights came on after we had it, i called them up but were not interested and aggressive, i gave them a 3 as we sold the car after a while and i rectified the issues apart from engine management lights coming on. bought car for 3k but warranty was a waste of time

I bought my car from these back in June 2023, wanting to try a dealership and pay more rather than a cheap eBay job to get a decent running car with no problems. The car was delivered to my place of work and the man who delivered was lovely. Fast forward to me taking the car home, this is where the problems... persistent pinging noise from the dash every 30 seconds for 30 seconds, there were no lights on the dash to suggest a problem, just this infuriating noise! I called them and arranged to go to the dealership and have them look at it. First of a man a was later informed by the young mechanic was the boss told me it was because I had the eco button on... this was not the case, as soon as I went into second gear it started again, the mechanic had no idea what was causing it, plugging it in to the scanner flagged up many faults including glow plugs and turbo these were cancelled off and he said it was nothing to do with those. They then decided it needed to go to an auto electrician so they could look at it. I agreed and they took it to Autokraft which is a local garage to them. When I went to collect the car I spoke to the Autokraft man who told me he had changed 2 glow plugs and that there was a fault with my dials which they replaced and they had not had any noises since. Taking them at their word I started my journey home, I got half way back when it started again only this time the engine light came on with the infuriating pinging sound. I called them but they were closed, so I called the auto electrician who had given me their business card, who asked me to turn around and go back so he could look at it. He showed me on their scanner that it was showing the turbo fault code again and to speak to the garage again which I did the next day. They could not get my car in for another week so I was stuck with it making the noise for another week, then came the time for me to get it looked at and it was a different mechanic, I was told the other one was let go for one reason or another, I didnt pay too much attention. The new mechanic took my car in to be looked at and I was given a courtesy car ( this was also a faulty car with many warning lights), when I next spoke to them the mechanic said they couldn't find out what was wrong with it but the it was nothing to do with my original dials bit that he had sorted it so there would be no more pinging noise, little did I know this also meant I now had no sounds on my dash at all for the indicators, any warning lights etc... however, he reassured me it would be ok and would still pass an mot with this being done. Moving on to the end of May, beginning of June 2024 I hadn't had the car a year when surprise... the turbo blew and my car sounded like it was about to take off! I instantly called them, and the lady on the phone told me it wasn't their problem, it was wear and tear and not covered under their warranty and refused to help me. I explained on the phone that the turbo fault had been coming up the whole time and was wiped each time but they did not care I was just told there was nothing they would do. The car was then off the road for a year due to me having to save to get the turbo done alongside paying for the car that I was unable to use. I now have the car back on the road after having the turbo replaced and the egr valve changed as this was also one of the faults, however, it is still not completely repaired as im now told the egr cooler needs replacing which is more money I did not need to be spending but that is a problemfor another day. I would not use this company again as they do not care about the customer unless it suits them, it seems they are only out for what they can get and sod anyone who tries to call them out on things that should have been sorted but were ignored. Never again!

It was said to be transported. It was driven.
It was to have had parts replaced, these have never been sent.
The warranty inbuilt in the buying of the car ,well you contact warranty administration, they tell you to go find a garage who charges no more than £60 inc vat to check the problem, you then pay that ,then they send the report to car hub car central ( who haven't sent the parts they promised) yeah can you guess what they would say,if they dont declineyour calls, now an oil leak and stop start not longer works, in under 200 miles of having the car! Truly shocking. Given up wasting my time with these clowns, yes i would imagine lots of people had their salesman promising every thing and returned calls, that's when you are buying potentially, now try and get stuff rectified. Seriously don't buy here..or read their little disclaimer on here as none of these are real accounts.

Harry and the team at CarHub Birmingham have provided me a quality service. Despite the challenges I had following the purchase, the team acted professionally and accorded me all necessary protections. We were able to reach a consensus and reasonable agreement together. I thank the team for their support and encourage a purchase from CarHub.

Dealing with this company will literally 'drive' you insane!! I feel quite lucky i changed my mind before purchase judging by the reviews below.
Spent 4 weeks since paying a deposit chasing by phone and email to find out what is happening with the car. Phone calls not returned, emails ignored, only to be finally told there was a problem with car they weren't aware of, then promised it would be resolved. Guess what, no further information forthcoming!! Too many red flags for me so asked for my deposit back, ignored, again!!! 10 days still waiting.
Possibly the worst customer experience ever, i do not know how they are still in business. If you want to keep your sanity, I would avoid! Have since found and purchased another car, done & dusted in a week!!!

Further to the reply below, your response is shocking and a complete load of lies, I never took the car for a test drive, if fact I have never been to your garage so was not advised of any intermittent fault at this point, I was only advised after numerous attempts to find out what was happening when no information was forthcoming.
I did phone a number of times, (but not every hour)BECAUSE NO ONE RETURNED MY CALLS OR GAVE ME ANY INFORMATION!!!
If someone would like to contact me regarding my refund I will gladly supply the relevant information.
Your fabrication of the events of this transaction make me so glad I didn't progress any further and should act as further recommendation to others to stay well away!!!
Further Update: Supplied my bank details 3 days ago, as requested on your reply, still no refund

I had my car delivered to my home for inspection and had only owned it for 7 days when, one morning, the key broke in the ignition. I called CarHub (even though I live 60 miles away) and spoke with Sam, who immediately arranged for a driver to collect the car from my home.

They took it back, removed the broken key, provided me with a brand-new one, and then returned the car to me all without charging a penny. What impressed me even more was that I admitted the damage was likely caused by my young son playing with the key, yet they still covered it completely free of charge.

Absolutely outstanding service from start to finish. Top marks to CarHub thank you!

From start to finish Harry has been quick to respond with all details that we needed to know about buying a car this way.
Highly recommend it as very busy at work and don't really have time to physically go looking for cars.
Everything Harry said happened when he said it would and we now have our new car delivered only a week from seeing the ad.
Thankyou Harry

I recently posted a review about the experience I've had with this company and they replied posting their own deluded version of events so I thought I should just clarify the situation and state the facts: Your own review stated i had travelled from Scotland to view your van, I've never set foot in Scotland and certainly dont live there so I don't know why you would say i travelled from there. Very careless !
You also stated the van had only done 80 miles since it's last mot, well that's also untrue it was actually 778. I have since managed to obtain the pictures from your sales advert. You also stated that you had reviewed your own photos and the seatbelt buckles were intact, yes that does seem to be correct, although I reported to you the actual seatbelt to be broken and not the buckle and after reviewing your photos myself I can clearly see the centre seat belt is loose and not sat how it should be ( it should pull itself taught). You also stated that because your company's response didn't align with my expectations I chose to write my negative review. Just to clarify: from July 1st until I was eventually contacted by Harry on July 24th, coincidentally (within 1 hour of me posting my original review) I had made over 10 phone calls, sent numerous emails and what's app messages asking for some sort of acknowledgement to my communications and a resolution to get this serious safety defect repaired ASAP as obviously a working seatbelt is quite an important safety feature to have on any vehicle,(mot failure if its broken) and recieved the grand total of 1 email asking to send the repair quote which I had already sent to your company numerous times. So there wasn't really a response at all to meet my expectations. My expectations in such a situation is that you would fullfill your obligation as a motor trader and get the serious defect i reported to you repaired in an effective and convenient manner. After eventually speaking to Harry an agreement was made whereby i would get it repaired and be re imbursed. I had the seatbelt replaced and now they currently won't honour that agreement because they have decided to come up some unlawful sham settlement agreement that has been conveniently back dated to before any agreement was made between us, oh and it also conveniently has a clause stating I can't post any reviews on review sites about the company. I dont think this type of behaviour falls in line with the CRA or CPRs. Anyone thinking of buying a vehicle from this company think twice. Go and read the other 1 star reviews, there are lots of them and they all seem to have the same theme, lack of aftersales support when something goes wrong, dishonesty and no communication.

Stay away from these people
They lie..ignore your calls and emails
Bought a car in Jan 25 had it delivered to my home address..next day I changed my mind and returned it under the 14 day rule for distant selling
It took me until August to get my money back after going through the courts ..AA mediated for me and the dealership told them I would be paid on that day(which didn't happen)then they cancelled their contract with the AA and went with the RAC as a trusted dealer..TRUSTED..that's a joke
A week before they had to answer to the court..they offered to pay me if i cancelled the court (which would have made me liable for their costs) and I wasn't to leave any reviews etc

Great service,fast and efficient, the staff where excellent.
A great experience
Skoda superb

I purchased a bmw x3 and that seemed easy, happy to drop it to me at my cost, within the first day a drivetrain sensor error came up on the dash so they collected it and after 8 days i finally got the car back and then a week after that the central looking failed and left me and my disabled partner locked in the car for hours and had to pay a mechanic to help and then get it fixed which i appreciate was paid for by the garage. Two weeks later went in to the garage again as the turbo is just about gone and both control arms shot. Rear lights have gone and folding mirrors packed up. This is the only car i have brought and not really been able to drive it. No response from car hub or car central which ever name they wish to use now. Hate this car as I'm convinced it is cursed or something along them lines. Should never have been sold if the so called mechanic knew what he was doing. And as for the service i paid for pre delivery i do not think anything was done and as for the MOT passing is another questionable matter. DO NOT BUY FROM THESE COWBOYS. Warranty is not worth the paper its wrote on either

Perfect really happy

Worst garage to ever deal with stay well clear unless you got money to burn ignore emails and phone calls,

I bought a car from Car Central Birmingham in August 2024, and it was a catastrophic mistake. Within two weeks, a severe clutch failure rendered the vehicle a dangerous liability. When their half-baked repair attempts flopped, I exercised my legal right to reject the car. What followed was absolutely shocking.
Car Central Birmingham had the audacity to deny my right to return the vehicle, bombarding me with blatant lies and stalling tactics. I was forced to escalate the matter with a Section 75 claim through Lloyds Bank and seek guidance from Citizens Advice, who confirmed the dealership’s actions were indefensible.
Their communication was an absolute farce—unprofessional doesn’t even begin to cover it. For months, they ghosted my emails, only sporadically contacting me from unlisted mobile numbers. Eventually, they stopped answering my calls entirely, forcing me to borrow a friend’s phone just to get through.
After dragging their feet until January 2025—five agonizing months after the purchase—they grudgingly agreed to take the car back. They then relisted the car for sale before even processing my refund.
I eventually received a measly £3,000 partial refund on 24th March, with the remaining £6,000 conveniently “forgotten.” If Lloyds Bank hadn’t stepped in to recover the funds through a dispute, I’d have been completely ripped off. Car Central dodged calls, broke every promise, and pulled every slimy trick in the book to evade their obligations.
This dealership is a cesspool of dishonesty, incompetence, and predatory behavior. Car Central Birmingham should be avoided at all costs. Save your money, your mental health, your legal rights, and steer clear of these shameless people.

Brought a car last year only for the gearbox to go after only 700 miles.. they have had the car in for 'repair' for nearly 2 months. They never answer the phone or respond to emails. STAY AWAY from this company

The worst car buying experience. The car will not come serviced, despite what they charge and say, the service “is just a top up check” according to harry! Despite having a new mot my car had many faults including needing new discs and pads, needing 3 new tyres and multiple oil leaks, something the courts are aware of and trading standards too! You will not get the inspection promised or the PDI check, despite them charging you for it. Once you’ve paid you will never get that money back. They ignore everything, including CCJ’s from the small claims court. Question why they are no longer AA approved, I think I am to blame for that, you broke every one of their standards you promise and then you’ve ran to the RAC. That won’t last long with how you trade. My personal experience, 9k car, tried to return within 14 days as is my legal right, refused to refund, they collected to repair, 7 weeks later returned still not road worthy. Several thousand now spent and court action taken and won. Still refusing to pay. Read the trust pilot reviews do your research. I would never do any business with this company again or recommend family or friends to. The company has blocked google reviews for a reason. You will be risking driving an unsafe vehicle from personal experience.
