I am writing this post as a totally dismayed Chevrolet owner. A year ago after my warranty ended some of you may remember
the post I wrote regarding Pentagon the This week it was time for the first of its three annual services. Being sure I was wasting my time the old cynical engineer in me raised its head. I filled the cross heads on the Phillip screws with a small amount of blue tack to see if a screw driver had been placed in the heads to remove the filter covers I picked the car up all smiles every thing done sir and the Chevrolet service book filled in and signed, service done to Chevrolet guide lines. Upon getting the car home feeling sure the main dealer will have done the job correctly I still checked the screw heads low and behold blue tack in place no screw driver had been any where near those filter removal screws. To make doubly sure I removed the filter cover and yes low and behold one dirty filter including an array of dead fly’s I immediately went back to confront pentagon of clay cliff Barnsley only to receive what could be called nonsensical waffle. This post is just the beginning of where every possible I can take action against pentagon of Barnsley south Yorkshire, also I now have the job of booking the car in for a complete re serviced to a reliable friendly and honest local garage it has to be a complete service because I cannot be sure my main dealer cowboys although I know they changed to oil but what budget oil is it, and like the other filters was the oil filter replaced. I hope all Chevrolet owners take notice of this post and broadcast to give pentagon the fraudulent thieving main dealer a very wide berth with your hard earned money. Any help in the action will be appreciated

You need to take this up with Trading Standards and Cheverolet UK (cc'ing GM).
This is really unacceptable.... What a bunch of crooks...

You must have got them on a day when the usual staff were all off...

Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front, oversteer is when you hit the wall with the back. Horsepower is how fast you hit and torque is how far you send the wall. |

They must be following my posts. Had an amicable phone call from the Pentagon manager Barnsley, he is sanctioning a cheque for the reimbursement of the service scheme money I payed out. At least I have some kind of closure, all I can say is any work claimed to be done at a garage should be checked in some way or otherwise you are open to exploitation.

Sorry to hear your problems about your car, Pentagon must have a death wish. If you care to read my posting about when I bought my car from pentagon (sheffield} no pdi done, oil leaks, air con u/s 4 tyres at 25psi and drivers mirror broken as well as the mirror switch. (you have guessed it , it was previously serviced at barnsley! Happily FRF in swansea have been excellent at fixing the problems under warranty. Chevrolet accept that my car is serviced by a vauxhall dealer here in carmarthen under network q rules, and I am satisfied with the service here. By the way I was also refunded for the missed oil change!
