5 Stars!

First time buying a car in Dubai, Alba made this process effortless for me. It lives up to the reputation of its 5* reviews.

Huge number of good options to choose from

I would say that it's a must place to visit and check from a very high number of cars if one is thinking of buying a second hand car in Dubai!

This car dealership in Dubai is top-notch! The cars on the lot were all in excellent condition, and I was impressed by the wide selection of luxury and high-end vehicles they had available. I also appreciated the no-pressure approach of the sales staff, they were very helpful and informative. I would highly recommend this dealership to anyone looking for a luxury car in Dubai, you will not be disappointed!

Great!
January 18, 2023

I recently visited Alba Cars dealership in search of a new car and I was thoroughly impressed by the level of service and professionalism I received. From the moment I walked in, the staff were friendly and attentive. They took the time to understand my needs and budget, and helped me find the perfect car for me. The salesperson, Chloe, was particularly helpful. She was knowledgeable about the cars on the lot and took the time to answer all of my questions and address any concerns I had.

Terrible Experience
January 16, 2023

Went to their showroom on an evening after seeing the AD online. Was attended by a representative Mr. Ha***n and showed the car to me. I confirmed my reservation and booked the car by paying 5000 AED.
Just when I am filling the details, he says he added me to a whatsapp group and says he is gotta go now( It was 6 in the evening and may be his shift is over). That's it, he just left and I was sitting there with no assistance or anyone attending.

Later on, the process looked decent with the WhatsApp group and Mr.S** from the after sales was very helpful initially explaining the details of each process and I was feeling good that I am getting some updates and response from the group and specifically from Mr.S**.
Fast forward to the registration day, the people responsible for the registration process were unprofessional and delayed the registration by a day. These guys were straight away lying to you about the registration. To further not delay the delivery, I had to go to the RTA place myself to collect the number plates from their registration Guy. To my surprise when I reached the showroom, there was no one there to give my vehicle handover.
Now, I have paid to do a 50% tinting from them itself and post-delivery when I checked it really didn't look like 50 percent as I was able to see things inside my car with the tinting( I am using 50% for the past 8 years). I did try to confirm this with Mr.S** and he affirmed again that its 50 and was not ready to consider otherwise.
Took my Car to an authored 3M tinting place and verified the tinting is not 50 percent and I felt like I was really cheated by providing the wrong info or providing goods or service with incorrect specs that promised. If I hadn't verified it directly from other place, I would still be believing their words.

Overall, some of their staffs are not transparent and they do not take responsibility or accountability unless you prove it to them like this. You really don't want such things when you buy a 200k AED worth car from a dealer like them

It's Good!
January 3, 2023

I recently purchased a used car from Alba Car Dealership, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. The salesperson, Osman, was friendly and knowledgeable, and he helped me find the perfect car for my needs and budget. The dealership had a great selection of quality used cars, and the prices were very competitive.

I also appreciated the transparency of the dealership. They provided a full report on the car's history and condition, and they were upfront about any issues or repairs that had been done. The financing process was smooth and straightforward, and I received a fair and reasonable rate.

Overall, I had a great experience at Alba and I would definitely recommend them to others looking to buy a used car. They have a friendly and professional team, and they made the process of buying a car easy and stress-free. Thank you, Osman and the team at Alba Car Dealership!

My dealings with this company has been shocking... Put a 5,000 dirhams deposit down they then went and subsequently sold the car to someone else. Coming up to 2 weeks now and not replying to me and being evasive. If anyone is reading this please use Cars24. Amazing service they deliver the car much cheaper and great customer service!

Proactive till make we a deposit/advance payment.
They don't have any obligations on our deposit or promises.
Very rarely responded on follow-ups
Promised to refund.
Waited for 1.5 month, with frequent reminders and follow-ups.
Promised to refund.
Car sold to some else.
Given 1 star review on google.
Threatened to change to 5 Stat.
" Will not refund the deposit if no ‘5Star' (review) given."
I refused to give a false review.
My AED5000 gone.
Are they doing business legally?
As per T&C of 'sitejabber.com' understood its against the Law.

Lessons learned:
1.) Exists a new type (to me) of business. Selling product is secondary, customer satisfaction is the least. Priority is to collect the 'advance payment' and find reasons not to refund. Maintains the business by recruiting cyber team to respond/reply for the negative reviews saying " No such person in our list visited''.
2.) Don't rely on the 'Star Ratings'. Be careful and get own experience.

We got a Maserati from them. Two weeks after purchase car broke down, they clearly ran no tests on it prior to selling despite confirming they did. They held no accountability and just refused to do anything. We paid for a warranty (very expensive) and in the end we used this to fix the issue. Alba cars delt with the fix, but they brought us the car back with a big scratch on the front. We chased them but they stopped answering messages or emails. One year on we find the service pack is useless and a scam as we can't use it. Stay away from this car seller.

I bought the first car of my life from alba cars in January 2020 and it was sold to me for AED 86,000 and after asking for the inspection report from Daniel (sales person) who works at Alba. He picked up an argument, made excuses but never gave me the report and then convinced me that the car is registered that mean it's good. Little did I know about them, I believed.
Last month I went for the renewal of registration and found out that the car had been in a very big accident. So big that they failed the first test for renewal. The C doors, bottom of the car, pillar every part has been repaired. So I seek Alba's help yet again. Asked them for CEO's contact on which they gave me some *******@albacars.com or something. I rushed to the showroom and asked for Mr. Talib's (CEO) contact and spoke to him and told him that Mr. Talib you have to help me. I am so down with money and the car is not what you said it was. On this he said "I don't 'have to' help you. Since you came to showroom after we asked you not to. We will not do any further business with you. Neither in selling or buying".
All the chat proof are attached with this review and I would like you all to read all the reviews before you go to them. There are so many people like me who were tricked and conned. They made the feeling of buying the first car very toxic and unpleasant for me.
