Waited just over two weeks for a car to appear that they were advertising at their Ipswich branch.
Thoroughly disappointed with its condition, poor paintwork and filthy front seats.
Originally advertised at £5900 the price now is £6500 seems like it’s risen by £100 every two days.
Apparently exploiting the Middle East conflict for economical vehicles.
I think it’s ethically wrong of this company, if it was good value at the original price why add to peoples money miseries with what’s going on in the world.

Place to go the buy a car
Brilliant staff—quick, attentive, and couldn’t fault their service. They made the overall experience smooth and were very helpful throughout.
However, the policies they have to follow aren’t ideal. There’s no flexibility on pricing or discounts, even when there are issues with the vehicle that need addressing, which is a bit disappointing. Additionally, the valeting lacks attention to detail, as they tend to focus only on visible areas and overlook hidden spots although they sorted the water marks on the headlining.
Overall, great customer service from the team, but the lack of flexibility and finer attention to detail takes away from the experience. I’d still consider returning, but with some reservations.

I made enquiries for a car
I made enquiries for a car was given the keys to have a look round the vechile. I liked what I saw then went back to the sales rep suggested to rake it out for test drive which I duly did. I then arranged to go to my bank to do a bank transfer which was done very quickly went back to the salesman who then assisted me in new ownership and taxing the car arranged insurance so that I could drive it away. There was no pressure
To buy and everything went smoothly the sales representative was a gentleman very considerate and very helpful.

Jack at the Norwich branch was great and helped answer questions every step of the way to the final purchase, Jack was very truthful regarding an issues with the car which was only one. But this was resolved and repaired before collection, we did buy the 1 year warranty for peace of mind which I feel is worth it, I will return in 2 years to upgrade car. Thanks Jack see ya in a couple of years for the same type of service.

Terrible
Sales staff that don't have much knowledge of the product they are selling, and a company that don't seem to care too much about what they're selling. 30 day warranty (most others at least 3 months), unless you wish to purchase a 12 month warranty for £600. They don't want to repair anything or make good anything. Didn't even valet the car before collection. They very much give the impression that all they care about are the numbers. Never had as bad an experience with a company than this. Purchased a car from their branch at Yarmouth about 9 years ago and that was a completely different experience.

We also appreciate you highlighting the difference compared to your previous experience with us. This is certainly not the impression we want to leave, and your feedback will be taken seriously and reviewed with the team to help improve our service moving forward.
We would really welcome the opportunity to look into this further and see if there is anything we can do to put things right. Please feel free to get in touch with us directly so we can discuss your concerns in more detail.
If you risk buying from Hammond, PLEASE protect yourself & pay for the warranty
If you decide to risk buying from Hammond Cars, PLEASE pay extra for the 12month warranty they offer - you will likely need it if your purchase is in as bad a state as the one I bought. The only reason this review is 2 stars and not 1 is because the warranty claims staff are EXCELLENT - particularly Lloyd who was fast to reply, helpful and reassuring throughout my many issues.
I bought a 2019 Corsa from Hammond Cars Ipswich in June 2025. Thankfully I also paid for the 12month/12,000 mile warranty on top of the price of the car.
Only 3 weeks later, the Master Cylinder failed to the point of needing a rescue by the RAC. I had only driven 474 miles since purchase. This issue took almost 3 weeks to resolve.
Early December, I had only driven a further 438 miles and the engine started to overheat repeatedly, only minutes into suburban drives. The indicator cancellation was also no longer working. The car was taken into a garage on the 18th Dec and was there until mid-January.
Upon investigation, the following issues were found to be needing repair/replacement:
- Investigate vehicle overheating, fault confirmed. Found low coolant level, tested for hydrocarbons in coolant and found to be present.
- When stripping engine found timing chain guide to be broken closest to exhaust manifold.
- Replacement head gasket and timing chain kit required.
- Pressure tested system and found outlet housing and water pump to be leaking, requiring replacement.
- On removal of cylinder head cover found coil-pack on cylinder 1 to be leaking oil into combustion chamber (coil pack rubber seal failed – new pack required)
- Indicator cancellation not working
All of these issues were resolved thanks to the 12month warranty I purchased with the car, but I am incredibly disappointed and unhappy that I lost a total of about 6wks usage due to the poor condition the vehicle was sold to me in. I was paying insurance and tax on a car I was not able to drive and had I NOT bought the warranty, I would be thousands of pounds out of pocket.
I emailed Hammond Ipswich customer service on the 12th January to ask someone to explain how this happened and offer some kind of compensation for the constant issues. I heard nothing in reply.
Beware and if you can go elsewhere, I would strongly recommend it.

While we're pleased that the warranty team — particularly Lloyd — was able to support you promptly and help resolve the faults under the warranty, we completely understand that being without your car for several weeks would have been extremely disappointing, especially so soon after buying it.
At Hammond Cars we aim to thoroughly prepare every vehicle before sale, so we’re very concerned to read about the problems you encountered and the amount of time the car was off the road. This is certainly not the experience we want our customers to have.
We're also sorry to hear that you did not receive a response to your email sent on 12th January. That is not the level of communication we expect to provide, and we would like the opportunity to look into this further and review what happened.
Thank you again for bringing this to our attention.
