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.
I have used Hammonds before and I received such good service that when I was ready for a new to me car and saw that Hammonds had just what I wanted I did not hesitate to visit them again. Ollie the salesman who greeted me made me a tea and explained the process was friendly, efficient and explained everything to my satisfaction. I was offered a test drive but it is manic around the Longwater business park so I declined but sat in and started the car up. The car was ready for me the same day but I visited the following day to collect. The price was very reasonable, there was enough fuel in it to get home unlike many car dealers. There were no hidden charges or admin fee so the screen price was exactly what you pay. I will certainly return when or if I am ready for another car. Great service from start to finish and it was all done in a relaxed atmosphere no pushy salespeople. Highly recommended.
Absolutely awful experience with these charlatans after selling them a 3 year old Ford Puma via Motorway.co.uk. At auction we received a bit less than we were wanting, but it was fine, we accepted and were completely honest with any cosmetic issues. They arranged the AA to inspect the car, no issues, pointed out the front tyres would need replacing before its MOT in 4/5 months time, but that shouldn't be a shock to them due to the photos I had provided, mileage and age of the car. Other than that it was "immaculate". This inspection was done on a Friday afternoon, the following Tues we get confirmation of the car being collected the next day (Wednesday) 2 hours!!!!! before the collection driver was due to arrive, Hammond Motors phoned - apparently they've just got round to reading the report from the AA (how convenient), they needed to revise the offer and drop it by £190 to cover the tyres, that were still legal. Now backed into a corner, another finance payment due in less than a week we really had no choice but to accept. So if you buy a blue 23 plate Ford Puma ST Line X, make sure it's got a new pair of Continentals on them and if your car is bought by them via motorway/Carwow....cancel the sale. It's not worth the stress.
