Terrible terrible customer service and aftercare

Our 5 month old car needed a software update and was undrivable in the meantime, so it spent 8 days sat in Pentagons car park waiting to be looked at - 5 days over the date it was booked in. Terrible customer service, they couldn't have been more unhelpful if they tried. Never answer the phone and when you go in person to speak to someone you get no help whatsoever. If this wasn't bad enough it cost us over £600 to hire a car whilst ours was out of action that we're now out of pocket for. We put a complaint in about it, but the customer services is so bad they haven't even bothered responding to that, despite many follow up emails.

An amazing experience with Pentagon…

An amazing experience with Pentagon Scunthorpe Peugeot. These were certainly the best priced for a brand new Peugeot in the country, well worth a visit.The staff were friendly and courteous. They were warm and welcoming. Nothing was any trouble and they kept us up to date with the cars delivery date. Malcolm the sales man at this branch went above and beyond and is a genuinely true top gentleman. He certainly made this purchase run smooth and won the sale. If you are looking for a great deal then ring Pentagon Peugeot in Scunthorpe and ask for Malcolm.👍 Best wishes Christine & Neil

Fantastic service staff

I have been a pentagon customer for many years and my cars engine light came on. Taking it to the dealership the fault was diagnosed and repair conducted within 48 hours with Brooke keeping me updated constantly.

Amazing service as always and a reason as to why I will never go elsewhere for purchasing or servicing of my vehicle

Purchased Peugeot 2008 from Courtney

We went in on Saturday looking to purchase a car, not sure as to which one just yet a few ideas but nothing set in stone. Courtney greeted us and offered some assistance but wasn't pushing to sell just friendly in general, so once we had a couple different cars in mind we let her know and she proceeded to get the keys and show us all around the cars and answered all questions we had. we came back on the Tuesday after having some thought about it and purchased the chosen car. (Thank you to Courtney for making our experience special and NOT being like the typical "sleezy car salesperson") 10/10 will recommend!

I recently purchased a Peugeot 3008 from Pentagon Ford Warrington, and the service was excellent.

I want to give a special mention to Antony Goulding, who was professional and helpful throughout the entire process. He provided a comprehensive video of the car, handled the finance arrangements smoothly.

Overall, it was a great experience, and I highly recommend asking for Antony if you are looking for a new vehicle.

Awful experience thus far

Awful experience thus far. Partner and I purchased a BYD Seal U last May. We had a positive experience buying the vehicle initially but it wasnt until the paperwork was to be signed that everything started to unravel a bit. Firstly our initial quote we received for the vehicle was great. It wasnt until a few days later we received the call that the price then changed. It wasnt far out of the realms of what we we're originally quoted so we we're willing to let this slide. Our vehicle came in and my partner spent the best part of the day waiting to collect it. We we're then told that they we're having an issue updating the vehicle so we could take away a courtesy car until the vehicle was ready. We ended up having this courtesy car for a few months before being able to have our vehicle we purchased. All the while whilst paying for our vehicle as well.

We we're also of the mind that we had purchased tyre cover with the vehicle, it wasnt until we needed a replacement that we found out this wasnt added and when we came to enquire our emails we're ignored!

Now not even a year later we are having to have the condenser in our vehicle replaced. I have tried to call the service department multiple times and cannot get through to anyone. Our service video says that we should not drive our vehicle until the condenser has been replaced but was not told this until we had seen the service video.

Overall poor communication and response times and nowhere to raise issues.

Since changing my service plan to…

Edit: pentagon have contacted me about rhis problem and we have come to an agreement, i have to say joanne at pentagon st helens has always been fantastic and she was the reason we stayed there for as long as we have. Thankyou Joanne.
Since changing my service plan to pentagon st helens its been abysmal!
Last year they tried to charge us for new locking wheel nuts but they lost the key and the code! I was having none of it, this year said I needed a leak patching so I waited until the 1st April when they could fit me in, took my car in and got a phone call in the afternoon saying they were wrong and there is no leak... pick it up and it's sat on the drive as I use my little car for day to day driving..... comes to use it today and low and behold no locking wheel nut key in the glove box where i always keep it!! Absolutely fuming, I will be calling in the morning and demanding they rectify it or be taken to small claims court! I definitely will be taking my business elsewhere as this is twice now!

Hi Gemma, thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about your frustration and understand how concerning this situation must be.

We would like to clarify that during your previous visit; we replaced the locking wheel nut key free of charge. On this occasion, we are more than happy to do the same again and ensure the issue is fully resolved for you.

We have now spoken with you directly to discuss this matter and reassure you that this is not a regular occurrence.

We value your custom and appreciate the opportunity to put this right.^Pentagon St Helens

All I can say really is avoid this…

All I can say really is avoid this place (pentagon ford St Helens) for any type of work/servicing, the customer service & servicing side is beyond poor, my car has been in and out since may 2025 & it’s only just been resolved after going in for recall software updates & each time I was assured it would be in for 2-3 days which turned into weeks each time, this last time on the fourth visit of being booked in for 3 days which turned into 12 weeks of the usual fob off excuses ie, the mechanic who deals with ev side of it is away on holiday or off sick, no time to get to it, technical issues, back order on parts, no parts in the country. With service staff being unprofessional and rude & not interested in anyway at all as he showed on many occasions.by the end of it I got my car back 2nd April 2026 & told it had been valeted which turned out not the case, it was filthy with oil covering the steering wheel and floor mats & all inside the door cill, with scratches on the arm rest & down the side of the bodywork on drivers side,. I practically had to force someone from the dealership to actually take some interest and have a look, they assured me they will repair and call me by the end of the day but as always never follow up on their promises & lame excuses after excuse I was told previously to avoid this place but never actually believed it until my own experience. For your own sanity don’t use this dealership in St Helens use another location

Diabolical customer service!

My Kia EV6 GT has had nothing but problems since this branch applied a software update. The 12v battery drains when the car is not driven for 1 or 2 days. I took the car in and they said that a courtesy car would not be available for 10 days, how is this sustainable?
The servicing team then said that they would contact the Mansfield and Rotherham branches to see if they had any availability...four hours later this conversation had still not taken place. I was reassured that they would give me a call back before the end of the working day to confirm the availability and where to collect from, this did not happen. So now I have no car, no support and no means of getting to work in Castleford. Absolutely diabolical customer service! Add to this the rude response of "we can't give you something we don't have" from the services customer services front desk.

I think the general consensus is in

I think the general consensus is in, this is a terrible company. It is a real shame because Ryan, the Dacia sales person who I bought the car from, was really great, helpful and a pleasure to deal with. The issues are with the ongoing service and support (or lack of). They are unhelpful, ignore emails and generally quite rude. I won't be using Pentagon again. And Pentagon marketing team need not bother responding to this post with the usual "we’d appreciate the opportunity to look into this further and put things right for you" Pentagon have had plenty of chances.

Very poor....

I am sharing my experience with Pentagon Barnsley and Pentagon Motor Group to help other customers make informed decisions.

I purchased a vehicle from Pentagon and have been dealing with ongoing issues for over a year. Throughout this entire period, I have repeatedly tried to resolve the problems, but the process has been marked by administrative errors, inconsistent information, and a lack of clear communication. This has caused significant disruption to both my work and personal life.

Despite raising concerns multiple times over the past year, the service I received consistently fell below what I would reasonably expect. Key issues included:

Contradictory information from different staff members

Missed or unclear timelines

Inconsistent documentation relating to my vehicle

Pentagon Barnsley refusing to accept further bookings, leaving me without a practical route to resolve ongoing faults

Withdrawal of previously offered goodwill gestures without any prior caveat

Internal reviews that did not address the impact of these service failures on me as the customer

Although Pentagon states that no staff misconduct was identified, this does not change the fact that the handling of my case over the past year has caused considerable inconvenience, financial strain, and a loss of trust.

I have now had to escalate the matter to my finance provider and submit a formal Data Subject Access Request (DSAR) to understand how my case has been managed internally.

My experience may not reflect every customer’s, but it is important to highlight how prolonged and unresolved issues over a full year have affected my ability to rely on both the vehicle and the service provided. I hope Pentagon will use this feedback to improve transparency, communication, and customer care going forward.
