Review of the Zuto, Car Finance:

Appalling Aftercare, Company are liars and decietful..

1
Where to begin? Initially, came across as a decent company, any questions dealt with, quick to call you to sign documents to push the sale through but then again they are looking to sell you something to boost their commission, the moment you want a refund or “unwind” as they put it, the company turns into Casper the ghost, no email communication, no call backs when arranged, nothing… because they know they are loosing their commission they don’t want to know or deal with you, no empathy, no apologies, aftercare is important when buying a car and this company don’t have a clue about it, once you’ve signed up and paid, kiss goodbye to anyone communicating with you. They search your number up before answering phones and drop calls, leave you on hold for ages hoping you drop the call, you ask to speak to a certain person/department they are busy all the time, or on a break, they will call back but never do, no reply to emails. I financed a Vauxhall insignia through Zuto through one their “partnered dealerships” no service history or spec on the adds, (should of been a warning there and then, but was desperate for a car) in short I had the car 9 days!!, the clutch was sticking when changing gear, engine management light came on, I have my own OBD reader and 3 codes were showing up which I have emailed proof to them, and then a popping noise came from under the bonnet going at 30mph, I had the AA out the turbo/intercooler pipe blew off, AA mechanics said this is a first time he had seen this on this model/age and would indicate underlaying problems. So now we have 3 engine fault codes, sticky clutch and a blown pipe connecting to the engine, this is clearly a substandard and broken vehicle that should not of been sold. Now I know this isn’t Zutos fault the car is knackered but since reporting this to them, showing proof of OBD, showing the AA report, they still don’t call you back or give advice or provide updates, I have had to arrange recovery myself back to the dealer which is 186 miles away, I have had to communicate with the dealership and even they said keep on Zuto as they aren’t to best at communicating to the dealers let alone customers!, I have had conversations with Zuto who reply we will call the dealer, I then call the dealer and they’ve never heard anything from them. Zuto stated they can’t get through, but I get through to the dealer in 5 rings and the dealer says Zuto never called them.i called the finance company directly moneybarn who are also waiting on Zuto to get back to them about the unwind. Zuto are liars and deceitful and don’t give a toss about you when they know they aren’t cashing in on you, I have now been without a car for two weeks, I’ve had to get taxis to see my children and get a train to work at an extra cost and you would think from what I’ve described this is an open and shut case, car is faulty within 9 days, I’ve recovered car to the dealer, dealer says they approve the rejection, Zuto what are you doing? Just let go and give your commission back and treat customers fairly as you would when they are calling into you to buy something. Now zuto have got good reviews when the cars are in good nick and you don’t actually need zuto for anything else after that but god forbid you get a dodgy car like I did and you have to go through this rigmarole of dealing with this sub-par company. I would urge you to look elsewhere as the customer service and treatment of customers has been shocking since you don’t make them any ££££ Zuto you know who I am, The guy that has been ringing in every other day for updates Vauxhall Insignia - KN18 EUF, unwind the bloody finance and give your earnings back, me, the dealer, and finance provider and all waiting for you to action this. Next steps is the financial ombudsman if this isn’t resolved in the next couple of days. Reviewed on: 19th July 2024

I desperately needed a car to remain working, but due to bad credit and no savings all options seemed closed to me. After some time I discovered zuto, they couldn't be more helpful. After a quick application they helped me find the right car on the best finance package. Everything was made clear and simple throughout the whole process and my advisors were always in contact at every step. I have already recommended them to friends and would recommend them to anyone who asked. Top service. Many thanks. Reviewed on: 14th April 2017

I hadn't bought a car through finance before so was a bit nervous about the process but everything was straight forward and hassle free. They history checked the car for me, and checked the dealer too to make sure everything would be ok and sent the money to the garage the day I emailed the paperwork to them. I will definitely use Zuto again and thoroughly recommend using them. Reviewed on: 13th April 2017
