Really helpful staff

Really helpful staff. Harry was very pleasant, did not feel pressured. Car ready for test drive even though we got there early. Happy with the deal we got, although the invoice listing was very confusing and price presented was with lots of extras added on that was not wanted and some confusion over VAT. Harry redid invoice to reflect actual purchase. Overall happy with service.

Hi Michelle, thank you for taking the time to leave us such a balanced and detailed review.

We’re really pleased to hear that Harry looked after you well and that you felt comfortable, unpressured, and able to enjoy your test drive — even arriving early. It’s great to know you were happy with the deal overall.

Thank you again for choosing us, and we hope you enjoy your new car. We’d be delighted to welcome you back again ^LP

Brilliant Service

Pentagon replaced our Astra wing after a minor bump. Superb workmanship and attention to detail and constant updates on progress. This wasn't a straightforward repair due to Sainsbury's Insurance and Axa the underwriters unable to agree on the level of excess to apply. This delayed the repair by 3 months but at all times Sarah at Pentagon was very helpful and supportive in helping us to resolve this issue. (The issue was finally sorted after the involvement of our MP Catherine Atkinson.)

Can definitely recommend Pentagon THANKS.

Hi Dave, thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review.

We’re really pleased to hear that you were happy with the workmanship, attention to detail, and the regular updates provided throughout the repair. While we appreciate how frustrating the delays caused by the insurers must have been, it’s great to know that Sarah was able to support you throughout and help guide things towards a resolution.

Your recommendation means a great deal to the team, and we’ll be sure to pass your thanks on to Sarah and everyone involved. We truly appreciate your patience and your kind words.^LP

Extremely poor aftersales experience and no support

I purchased a Renault Captur Hybrid from Pentagon in August 2025. Since purchase, the vehicle has had multiple faults.

Most seriously, the car has now suffered a complete engine/electrical failure and broke down, leaving me without a vehicle. I am currently several days without a car and still awaiting meaningful support or a response from Pentagon despite submitting a formal written complaint.

The vehicle was sold with a warranty arranged through Pentagon, yet I am now caught between RAC and Assurant, each giving conflicting information about hire car cover. I paid £899 for this warranty and have still been left without transport. This issue appears to be between Pentagon’s chosen warranty providers, but the impact has been entirely on me.

I am a carer for my mother, who has dementia, and being left without a car is causing significant practical difficulty. I appreciate faults can occur, but the lack of communication, ownership, and urgency from Pentagon has been extremely disappointing.

Given the number and seriousness of issues within six months of purchase, I have lost trust in the vehicle and in the support provided by Pentagon. I am still awaiting contact to resolve this matter.

Hi Natasha, thank you for your correspondence. I can confirm that your complaint was received by the Sales Manager and reviewed on the same day it was received promptly at 8.30am.

Upon receiving notification of the issue, we arranged for the collection of your vehicle to be taken in for inspection and repair. At the same time, we have also organized for a courtesy vehicle to be provided to you so that you are not left without transport while this work is carried out even though you are out of area.

This was the first occasion on which we had been made aware of any issues relating to your vehicle. As such, we believe we have acted both swiftly and fairly in response, taking prompt steps to support you and minimize any inconvenience.

We will continue to monitor the situation and keep you updated as the repair progresses. Should you require any further assistance in the meantime, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Kind regards,
Nick

At 10am this morning I contacted…

At 10am this morning I contacted Pentagon Warrington to speak to used car sales. After I left my number I was told I would get a call back straight away, at 11.20am I rang again and I spoke with Phil who again said someone would call me back at 12.10 the new sales manager of BYD rang me back and said I would need to speak with the used car sales team and guess what…someone will call me straight back. 3 hours so far (now 13:00hrs) and I’ve not had a chance to speak about buying the car I wanted. Not to worry because I’ve found the same model elsewhere, spoke with someone straightaway and I’m now booked in for a test drive, all being well I will buy it later today. If I’m having this much trouble trying to buy a car imagine how hard it must be to get an issue looked at? After reading other poor reviews from Pentagon Warrington it looks like promises to improve were just words. Next stop is to complain to BYD about one of their dealers.

Excellent 1 Star

Fantastic service. After battling through the IVR and finally reaching a cheerful-sounding chap, he promptly hung up the moment I mentioned I was looking to buy a new car.
The second attempt was even better. I somehow ended up in the body shop, where they helpfully transferred me… to the local takeaway. Sadly, they were closed, so I had to leave a message.

Top Marks for Pentagon Derby

Really can’t Thank Sarah Woolley, of Pentagon Derby, enough. From the first to the last call, there were many, she went above and beyond to help.The whole process with Pentagon was seamless. The work carried out to my car was excellent so a big Thanks to the team involved. The repair was completed well before the estimated date but the collection of the car was unbelievably long and complicated but Thanks to Sarah’s help it was eventually sorted.Would highly recommend Penatgon.

Hopeless

I have been looking to buy a used car from Pentagon from the very first point of contact which did take 24hrs for a return phone call which then I was discussing a price with the salesman who said he would call back after speaking to his manager but never did. So with out an appointment we drove 88 miles to view the car, when we arrived there were about 4 people in the showroom who ignored us so we had to go in a little office to get someones attention then he told us the car wasn't avaliable for viewing as it was in a compound so we drove home. In the week I contacted again for a test drive and was told the salesman would call me again about a price but never received the return call. So today Friday I tried to call again through the main number through to used car sales twice but just went blank so I've just sent a message to cancel the test drive because I have no trust in thus company.

Awful treatment of vulnerable person

Absolutely awful experience with Pentagon Ford Warrington. My father has a ford focus on PCP that came to the end of its deal in mid December. He has been trying to contact pentagon Ford in Warrington (as have I) since the beginning of December to arrange for it to be returned. He had surgery in December and has been advised not to drive and has now made the decision not to continue driving at all now. Never has he or I experienced such awful treatment by an organisation. Countless phone calls to the pentagon ford are never answered and when leaving a voicemail (multiple times) they are never returned. Spoke to ford customer relations who logged a complaint but because it's PCP they can't deal with it. They also couldn't get through on the phone so suggested I contact pentagon ford Warringtons live chat. So I did and it was extremely unprofessional as it wasn't sales related they took the details and said they would telephone. Guess what they didn't!
Now having to drive my dad to a dealer (as he can't drive) to get them to treat an elderly, vulnerable person fairly and actually speak to him.
I was thinking about the new ford explorer for myself but absolutely will never touch ford (or pentagon who have trashed fords brand in my eyes) ever.

UPDATE 30/12/2025

Thank you for the reply, I just tried to contact you on 03303906898 however the agent said no complaint has been raised so to email customer.care which has now been done. In addition my father has just been called back by Dave Kelly and arranged for the car to picked up tomorrow so hopefully that should bring this experience to a close.

I am never using Peugeot Pentagon again…

I am never using Peugeot Pentagon again esp Lincoln branch. We bought our 3008 from them a few years ago and it’s had a myriad of problem’s they have had a lot of money from us and yet we continue with issues
Also tried to book online for a diagnosis check and was given 24th Dec as available couldn’t ring garage as it was a Saturday afternoon and shut so was pleased car could be looked at before Christmas as a spanner red warning light had come on but received a text this morning confirming appointment 3rd feb! When I rang to query was told online booking service is not linked to local garage properly yet I could choose garage make booking and get an email confirmation after I did it. Turns out the garage isn’t even open that day! So they moved my appointment to bloody February!
Stay well away from Pentagon both sales and repairs my car was with them in October for similar issues
Will be looking elsewhere

I recently made a complaint to Pentagon Lincoln regarding a vehicle service. My complaint was dealt with swiftly. Lucy was calm professional and considerate and the way she dealt with my complaint was exemplary, in just the way you would want to be treated. She is a beacon of hope in times where complaints and disputes are often ignored. She has restored my trust in Pentagon Group. My request in order to compensate this problem was honoured.

A systemic failure from top to bottom

A systemic failure from top to bottom — senior management should be deeply concerned. If I could give 0 stars I would

My experience with Pentagon Ford Warrington was so poor that it raises serious questions about leadership, training, and oversight at this site. This was not a one-off mistake or a bad day — it was a sustained pattern of incompetence, miscommunication, and complete disregard for the customer.

From the outset, communication was non-existent or misleading. Calls and messages were ignored, follow-ups promised and then quietly dropped, and basic information contradicted depending on who you spoke to. There was no single point of accountability, no ownership of issues, and no sense that anyone was actually in control of the process.

What is most alarming is how normalised this behaviour appears to be. Staff seemed comfortable giving vague or conflicting answers, passing responsibility elsewhere, and letting problems drift indefinitely. When issues were raised, there was no urgency, no apology, and absolutely no attempt to put things right. The attitude was unmistakable: once payment is involved, the customer becomes an inconvenience.

At no point did anyone step in to take responsibility or demonstrate even a baseline level of professionalism. The experience felt chaotic, unmanaged, and careless — as though internal standards either do not exist or are simply ignored. If this is what customers see, I can only imagine what internal processes look like.

This review is written in the hope that someone higher up the organisation sees it and recognises that Pentagon Ford Warrington has a serious problem. The failures here are not minor; they are structural. This dealership reflects extremely poorly on the Pentagon brand and, by extension, Ford itself.

I will not return under any circumstances and would strongly advise others to avoid this location entirely. Senior management should be asking hard questions, because this level of dysfunction should never reach a customer — yet here it clearly has.

Visited CUPRA Huddersfield on Friday…

Visited CUPRA Huddersfield on Saturday 13th December to view a Formentor V3. I wanted to see the interior, sit in the leather seats, enquire about a test drive, and listen to the Sennheiser sound system.

I was initially greeted by a male member of staff who was unsure how to assist and asked for help from a colleague. A female member of staff then took over. From that moment, almost every question I asked was met with clear disinterest.

I was repeatedly told:

No Formentor V3 models were available to view

No test drives were possible

No vehicles with the Sennheiser sound system were available

The staff member assisting me showed little to no interest in helping and moved on to another customer before I had finished, which I found extremely rude.

While looking around on my own, I discovered multiple vehicles with the Sennheiser upgrade and two Formentor V3 models on the forecourt—directly contradicting what I had been told. (Attached below are the two Formentor V3 models I discovered.)

This was misleading, dismissive, and completely unacceptable. The experience was far below what I would expect from a CUPRA showroom. I am extremely disappointed and will not be returning.

I have now purchased from the LEEDS branch

Great service however read all the documents

Part exchange my 72 plate purgeot deisel 508sw for a brand new peugeot 508sw hybrid. Had all of my dealings through Malcom whom was 100% throughout all of the transaction. Dropped off my new car in Liverpool and collected my part exchange car.
Even sorted out my car tax for my new vehicle, unfortunately this is where I made an error (as my new car was originally forsale for£48000 and i only paid £28000 for the new car, my new vehicle tax is £620 pounds per year)
Apparently the vehicle excess duty changed last April that any vehicle with a list price over £40000 has a higher vehicle excess duty.
With the exception of the shock of the car tax the service was excellent and the car was a bargain

Booked a test drive for a Dacia Duster

Booked a test drive for a Dacia Duster, had an email confirmation and a telephone call from the dealership to confirm details ans slight change of time. Arrived at Pentagon Lincoln armed with the model required and the spec we would want. To be told after looking at a model on the fore court we don't have a model for a test drive a service technician had taken the car home. No real apology given, no offer to rearrange test drive. The sales assistant did not seem to want to help secure a sale

Awful experience

Ok. Previous email below sent to customer service. So looking forward to a solution going forward.

2023 Peugeot 208 Gt. Purchased 06/10/2025
Reg: MC23??? Chassis No. VR3UPHNEKP5043???.
Millage: 39500. Now 40500
Purchased from Pentagon Lincoln Vauxhall.

On collecting the vehicle above and on the way home to Swansea a knocking rattling noise was found to be coming from the front left suspension area.
Issue reported via phone call to Jack Browne within 2 days. Advised to take vehicle to local Peugeot dealer in Swansea.

Local dealer inspected the vehicle at the earliest possible date 07/11/2025. No visual damage was to be found however they could hear the noise during test drive. ( see video attached ) Request the vehicle to be booked in for an investigation / fix once issue is known.

Can someone please advise on how to resolve this issue and have the vehicle put back to a standard one would expect from a main dealer purchase without incurring costs.
Swansea Peugeot think the millage is to high for manufactures warranty. The extended warranty does not start until 06/2026.

Awful experience. 2023 car with suspension issues that no one will take responsibility for with warranty. Will never buy a Vauxhall / Peugeot again.
