I bought a car from sonny Adam…

I bought a car from sonny Adam dealership at the weekend after having a test drive a few weeks back with a lovely young lady I decided to buy the car, the professionalism was second to none, the whole team was so nice it made a huge difference, the friendly and caring approach made the process very easy for me, I will highly recommend sonny Adam to family and friends

Dodgy car sales

Phoned to ask after a car that was advertised and told it was still available and was booked for a viewing within the next hour.Due to distance it took 1 and half hours to get there. Upon arrival at a filthy industrial estate/breakers yard was approached and asked for my name and told bluntly it's sold now, then just left standing there as the supposed salesman walked off, suspect this was not the case as it's still advertised for sale.Do not waste your time as this is not a reputable car dealers it's more like a dodgy breakers yard.

DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR MONEY

DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR MONEY! THEY TAKE YOUR DEPOSIT AND DO NOT RETURN IT. When you call they fob you off I'm still waiting for them to return £380 after weeks of chasing. THE COMPANY ARE A JOKE!

Cowboys - No car or Refund !!

Cowboys! Bought a VW Golf last year, a total wreak. Gearbox did not work, drove it home 20 miles home, it was totally illegal. It flooded when the rain came. AA towed it back to them! Asked for my money back, still waiting. 12 months on. Took to small claims. They said I had caused the damage myself. No car and 2k out of pocket. I am going to ask Police, OFT, motor trade to investigate these criminals. If that fails I am going to sit outside all day and tell everybody not buy from them. Sonny just pay me my money back!

Close these clowns down

Avoid avoid avoid like other people…

Avoid avoid avoid like other people said we purchased a BMW on the 31/8/24 only to return it two days later you’ll see from the photograph the list of things that were wrong with it and the pictures. It allegedly passed an MOT the day before when you turn right with the indicator it didn’t cancel. There was also a wheel nut missing so we didn’t trust the MOT we found numerous problems with the bodywork and after a close inspection taking off the plastic panel in the boot, the panel was still all bent we now annoyed because we’ve got £95 out of pocket expenses which are not prepared to pay but if we can save one person just one person from making a mistake buying a car from here then that will justify losing the out-of-pocket expenses where they’ve signed up to the AA you in safe hands isn’t worth the paper it’s written on and will be taking this up with Trading standards and the AA themselves. Another point you may wish to look at. I told them we would never buy a car from them after reading their reviews and this is my findings since I’ve said that they’ve had, 23 reviews in the last week the week before that only 3 and the week before that one only 2 also a point to look at out of 28 reviews 21 of them have never left a review anywhere before and 4 customers have left a review for buzz bouw which is a Dutch construction company in Holland so it seems a bit funny that four customers have left a review from them so I’m thinking the last 23 five out of five reviews are totally fake which would make sense please enjoy the photos attached also I’ve just been told the guy that went out in the test drive put the music on the back speakers as he said it sounded better. I think the reason was is because the driver side door panel one didn’t work so at the end of the day they know how bad their cars are they are selling, they told me that they brought this car from an auction just because there’s no category listed against it does not mean it’s not been in heavy damage as not all damages are recorded. We believe this one and had a hard rear end and the total side impact as the only panel that wasn’t sprayed was the roof and that had all the overspray all over it you will see on the photos. There is grey primer all over the place. And also one rear window was tinted and one wasn’t that was obviously the side that had the hard impact.
Update, thank you for your reply. It is amazing us you’ve had six reviews today. We screenshot them and two minutes later it’s the same review but the name changes this has been reported to Google and we standby what we say. We now have Trading standards involved and we now have the AA involved because you have got their posters up in safe hands. Which is clearly not the case you have my number if you want to speak to me, but I’m sure you don’t.
Second update there’s five of us sitting here thinking this is very strange since we brought your attention all the fake reviews on Google and the rate of 3 every 10 minutes they suddenly stopped and there hasn’t been any reviews or fake ones in the last 45 minutes funny that you must think we’re daft but unfortunately we’re not as daft as you think we are it would now appear they’ve stopped doing fake reviews on Google and now jumped on this site what I said at the beginning avoid this place like the plague
Update I’ve just read your reply. We’re not just talking about bad paintwork. You failed to notice behind the back bumper was all bent and pushed in from a rear end. It has had a very bad side impact where they changed one of the rear windows as one side was tinted and one was clear, and doors and bonnet didn’t line up you admitted you brought this car from an auction. It’s a shame you didn’t inspect it before you tried to sell it on. And also so many fake reviews on here which you were caught out on Google.

Dear Tim

Thank you for sharing your feedback, we will be taking this onboard and making sure that this does not happen again in the future, we would also like to highlight that cars getting paint work as part of the preparation process is very common practice and this does not mean at all that the car has been in an accident or should be a category, however when a vehicle I 6 to 10 years old it will have some scratcher of marks or even dents on it that our customers would want us to rectify, we will be more than happy to share with you the work history of the car,and we would also be happy to have a conversation with trading standards , as for the reviews we can assure you that we are not in the practice of seeking fake reviews , our only verified review page is our trust pilot and auto trader page, any other review source such as google and All other platforms is not associated with this company nor are they monitored and that is where confusion might be.
We look forward to hearing from you soon
Please feel free to call in the office a
Following on from your update, as previously mentioned thank you for reporting the Google profile, we have also done the same now, and once resolved we will claim the profile, thank you once again.

BUYER BE VERY AWARE!

Arranged to view car for my daughter after reserving online only to find it was in another location, on a ramp, in bits! Very frustrating after a 2 hour drive. Was told not to worry as they would drive it down to me and i could refuse it so nothing to lose. Agreed and left. Car was brought down a week later after being told that it had new brakes and clutch but was not allowed to test drive it as we were not insured! Had to make a desicion there and then so decided to go for it as it 'seemed' to drive ok.
After a couple of weeks my daughter said the car had started shuddering and losing power and engine codes appearing so arranged to take it back to them. They called a week later to tell us to pick it up. When i asked what had been done they said that there was nothing wrong with it! I showed them photos of the code numbers and they said that was helpful for them to order the parts and to leave it with them and they would get it sorted, so we left without the car.
A week later they said that they had completed the work. I asked for details of what had been done and received nothing. We picked up the car and it was absolutely filthy inside! We took the car home and 3 days later the codes were back, car went into limp mode and STOP appeared on the dash. Contacted them again and was told to bring it back. I asked if they were going to be responsible for any damage done given that STOP was on the dash and they said to park it up and not drive it and they would collect it. A week later 2 guys came in a car and one DROVE it away. They said they were going to change a sensor so went with them and they parked in a local car park and proceeded to change the oil and change the part! After they went they left all the mess there. I contacted them and told them that i no longer wanted the vehicle as it was not fit for purpose and causing too many issues was told that i could not just change my mind! I told them it was my right and they said that they would need a chance to fix the issue first. After hearing nothing i contacted them again to be told they were waiting for the parts to be delivered. When i asked which parts they could not tell me. I told them i did not expect this from a £7000 car and would like a refund. I then received a response to say that they had received the parts and the car would be ready in 2 days. I then received a parking fine for the day they took the vehicle away! I sent them details and told them to deal with it which they did. They then told me the car was ready and would be delivered to me. The car was driven down and absolutely stank of cigarette smoke! Given that none of us smoke and the car was for my daughter and her one year old i found this totally unacceptable. I again complained to them but obviously had no response. I asked them to send me details of all parts that had been replaced and work carried out but again no response. After 2 days the fault codes and lights came on again. Tried to contact them but they were not interested.
Bottom line they are quick enough to take your money but when problems arise they do not want to know. After months of going back and forwards we were getting nowhere. They had no interest in taking the car back even though it was obvious it was not fit for purpose and it was causing me so much stress that in the end i had to get rid of the vehicle at a loss as my daugher needed to have a reliable car.

Utterly frustrating

Utterly frustrating. Rang 5 hours ahead of time to book a test drive for my son to purchase his first car. Drove nigh on 60 miles round trip and was hardly spoken to when we arrived or throughout, utterly unprofessional (bar one female member of staff who seemed on it). Otherwise everyone was totally unapologetic that the car was still not available to test drive 40 minutes later. Really appalling. We left. I'd be wary of them for sure...

Dear Customer

We would like to offer you our sincerest apologies, the vehicle was at the service centre getting it's final servicing done when you arrived, the agent on the phone did make an error on the phone thinking that vehicle was available on site for a viewing, once again we apologize profoundly for this inconvenience we have caused.

Very poor

Very poor experience, take into consideration the following points if you are looking to purchase from them.
The AA backed promises means virtually nothing, read into it and you will see it is just hiding behind a large name.
All Sonny Adam cars have one key (in their words) so factor this into the price if it does or you potentially will have a large bill for a replacement.
Thoroughly check all what they have allegedly done prior to sale as they don’t provide any information on presale checks done.
Sonny Adam cars seem to be advertised with service history however for some reason the ONE oil change they do unbelievably can be classed as service history so unless you want to lose a large amount of money on the devaluation of the car make sure you have all the documentation before you agree to buy.
As with a lot of dealers the after sales communication is very bad, once they have your money that’s it!
All their cars are squeezed in on their site and two other customers there at the time, what they came to view was mysteriously in the workshop.
All in all avoid and use a reputable main dealer or you’ll potentially be counting the cost

I was tempted to give 3 stars

I was tempted to give 3 stars, mainly due to the positive and polite communication from the staff I spoke with.

However, given the main purpose is to receive a car at a fair price and service it remains at 2 stars. Via Car Guru I had found a car at Sonny Adam and needed to have it delivered to NE England, I was paying £370 for delivery. There seemed to be an issue with securing a driver/delivery, however it was organised only to be cancelled the day before delivery. It was, according to the dealership staff, a medical emergency. No other driver or service appeared to be available and so no alternative delivery date could be given. Reluctantly I had to cancel the order and after several days received a full refund.

I look at this experience as a waste of time and unfortunate. Online checking of vehicles for sale is a starting point but from this I think I will go back to visiting local dealerships and deal face to face.

PLEASE READ - AVOID THIS DEALER

I bought a Ford Focus FN18FZT from Sonny Adam in February. After 15 days with the car I broke down on the motorway, had work done under warranty and had to pay out of my own pocket for a tow, rental car etc.

A few weeks later I broke down AGAIN on the motorway as the turbo had gone. The car was in huge clouds of smoke. Sonny Adam took the car back for repair but still had to pay out of my own pocket for tows etc.

Up to this point the service from Sonny Adam was decent although there were so many red flags. Even the courtesy car they gave me was falling apart - horn didn’t work, bulbs out etc.

I eventually returned the car for a refund as the turbo issues continued even after they said they had fixed it. The car was not drivable and would go into limp mode constantly.

Taking the car back for a refund was a horrific experience. When I pulled up the car was in smoke. After driving 2 hours we got there and Ray was rude, arrogant and disgustingly ignorant. No apology for everything we have been through, didn’t even say goodbye as we walked out.

NEVER buy from these people… and don’t trust all the 5 star reviews that they probably write themselves. I may have got unlucky but from what I can see there’s countless people who have had similar experiences. Ford Focus FN18FZT is unsafe and not roadworthy, but still I have no doubt it will be back on their website in a few days.

Dear Lewis
Thank you for your feedback, this is always appreciated and we will make sure actions are taken to avoid our future customers having similar situations, in the case of your vehicle upon further inspection there was a pipe which had come loose and that was the cause of the smoke, we apologize profoundly if you felt that a member of the team was rude, we can assure you that we take our customers satisfaction very seriously and we take pride in our customer service driven business, as for the buying the vehicle back it is not a malpractice we felt that the reduction in the refund is fair as you had covered 10,000 miles on the 5 months that you owned the vehicle, we also hope this was presented to you and explained in a very transparent manner, we had also offered you a further repair as an alternative option which you declined, if you have anything else you wish to discuss please give us a call and we can help!
