Great as always
Just bought a car from the Ipswich branch. This is the third time my wife and I have purchased from Hammond Cars (as we live in Norwich this was our first visit to the the Ipswich Branch). We were fortunate enough to find Stan. What an absolute legend he is. He was helpful, understanding, knowledgeable and clear with information. At times he found himself having to multitask as the office was busy. He was professional, polite and didn't miss a beat - an absolute delight to deal with and a massive asset to the company! Well worth the drive to Ipswich just to find Stan and the biggest site Hammond Cars have. With so much choice, this will definitely be our new site and sales person of choice. Couldn't be happier and highly recommended. Thank you, Hammond Cars!!!

Thank you so much for your continued loyalty and for taking the time to leave such an amazing review. We’re delighted to hear this is now your third purchase with Hammond Cars and that your first visit to our Ipswich branch was such a positive experience.
Stan will be absolutely thrilled to read your kind words. Providing helpful, professional and knowledgeable service is exactly what we strive for, and it’s fantastic to hear he made such a lasting impression even during a busy day. We’ll be sure to pass your comments on to him and the wider Ipswich team.
We truly appreciate your recommendation and look forward to welcoming you both back again in the future. Enjoy your new car!

Price Gouging. No interest in Customer Satisfaction
My student daughter viewed a car last Saturday, price was £10,900, that night she made an offer and it was stated that they do not accept offers. On Sunday the price went up to £11,000. On Bank Holiday Monday she rang to pay the deposit, the phones had not been switched over and got through to a member of staff who said he was 30 miles from the office and could not take a deposit. No where on the website could we see that they were closing early, On Tuesday the price went up to £11,100, she put down a deposit.
Today we meet Stan who was really good and tried his best. The car was good and the staff were very helpful. But the manager refused to give the £11,000 price as he stated the office was shut. My daughter is on minimum wage and was using the funds left by her grandmother.
In summary great car, great service, nice welcome but all marred by the price gauging that has taken place.
The dynamic pricing only means your margin in greater. You have purchased the car already, so this increase just means your profit is £200 greater.
Your sales manager protects his Commision over the satisfaction of your customer. He did not even speak with me.
You say customer satisfaction is important, but you obviously don’t care as you are not prepared to do anything about this. I will contact your CEO directly and discuss this matter further. Please provide his email address

Thank you for taking the time to leave such detailed feedback. We’re pleased to hear that Stan and the wider team provided a welcoming and helpful experience during your visit, and that your daughter was happy with the car itself.
We’re sorry, however, that the pricing changes and communication around the Bank Holiday opening hours left you feeling disappointed. Vehicle prices can change in line with our dynamic pricing process, which reflects market conditions and vehicle demand, but we do understand your frustration given the timing and circumstances you have described.
We also appreciate your comments regarding the communication from management and are sorry you felt your concerns were not addressed directly on the day. Customer experience is extremely important to us, and feedback like this helps us review how we communicate during the sales process.
Sold my car to Hammonds via Motorway
Sold my car to Hammonds via Motorway. They wanted an AA inspection which was fine but I never got to see the report. I was told that there were some deep cuts in the tyres which would not pass an MOT therefore Hammonds reduced their offer by £300 for two new tyres, which I accepted.
The car had a short MOT when I sold it and Hammonds didn't test it before selling on. The Gov mot checker showed it passed a few weeks later but had advisory for cuts in tyres. So Hammonds were wrong in that the tyres would pass an MOT and were not concerned enough to fit new tyres before selling on.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re pleased the sale process itself went smoothly, however we’re sorry to hear you were left disappointed regarding the tyre assessment and communication around the AA inspection.
The reduction was based on the information provided to us at the time following the inspection. We appreciate your comments regarding the later MOT outcome and understand why this has caused frustration. We also take on board your point about not being provided with a copy of the report and will review how we communicate inspection findings more clearly in future.
Thank you again for your feedback, as it helps us improve our processes going forward.
Great Service
I have to say that the guy known as 'Stan' (aka Paul Stanley) was really very good, nice, helpful and so patient. Really great service from him. Staff in general very friendly. Thank you Stan

Purchase of MG3
The salesperson, Ethan, was extremely polite and helpful and kept in contact with me throughout the purchase of the vehicle. He was also helpful in the purchasing operation. My experience was a very pleasant one. I was extremely pleased with my car which was clean both inside and out. I would recommend Hammond Cars.

Was interested in a car they were…
Was interested in a car they were selling.Offered them a very near offer but they refused.Over the time while still shopping for a car I again tried to call them and see if they would accept my offer.If they did then I would have made approximately 2 hours journey to possibly buy the car. I have noticed the car for at least two weeks and is still there while writing this review! Looks like they are not interested even the car has been sitting there for days! Any way after reading some negative reviews about their service here I am glad have not bought that car!I am not trying to blame any car dealers for refusing offers!It is solely upto them.Many genuine potential buyers would try for discounts even for new cars and even many dealers would give discounts!

Thank you for your review.
We appreciate your interest in the vehicle and the time you took to get in touch. We’d like to clarify that all of our vehicles are priced competitively based on current market values, condition, and demand, and as a business we do not negotiate or reduce our prices.
We understand that many customers will naturally look to make offers; however, our pricing structure is fixed to ensure fairness and consistency for all buyers.
We’re sorry to hear that this meant we were unable to reach an agreement on this occasion, but we do wish you all the best in your search for the right vehicle.
First experience at buying from Hammond…
First experience at buying from Hammond Cars. A good selection of cars and a great company to deal with.
They were honest with our existing car trade in price and supported us in trying other options. Which exceeded our expectations.
Antonia and Jayden assisted us with our purchase and they were both very helpful and knowledgeable about their processes and the vehicles they stock.
The car is perfect, sailed through its MOT and has been an absolute dream.
If my husband can prise this car off of me then we will be back again for our next purchase.

I purchased a Skoda Octavia from Hammond a month or so ago. I was attracted to the company for its reputation for reliability and trustworthiness. I haven't been disappointed! Communication before the purchase was excellent. I was pleased with the price of the car and the rep who served me was very helpful. No issues at all with the car- everything as described and I'm really enjoying my new motor!

I can say with confidence my experience working at Hammond Cars will be one to remember for all the wrong reasons.
The cars have too many issues to list with some not being able to be started or moved, and the treatment by some of the individuals is atrocious.
Particularly Peter Trigg Dudley who genuinely has amazed me as to how incapable and disrespectful someone can be towards his staff. His behaviour was highly unprofessional along with all the scrutinising, belittling and making you feel worthless and you need hand-holding to do your job. I would never dream of buying a car from here.
The management is appalling.

We’re sorry to read your review and are disappointed that you feel this way about your time with Hammond Cars.
We believe it’s important to clarify that you were employed in the role of a Valeter, where vehicle cleaning is a core and essential responsibility. During discussions, you advised that you were not willing to carry out vehicle cleaning on a daily basis, which is fundamental to the position.
We made efforts to address your concerns and discuss expectations with you directly. However, it became clear that there was a mismatch between the requirements of the role and your expectations, alongside a breakdown in the working relationship. Following careful consideration, a decision was made to bring your employment to an end in line with company procedures.
We do not recognise the characterisation of our management team as described. We are committed to maintaining a professional and respectful workplace, and any concerns of this nature are taken seriously.
As this is a public platform, it would not be appropriate to go into further detail, but we wish you the best moving forward.
