Penton Motor Group Anmeldelser 775

I came in to look at what cars they had in stock, and I can honestly say, they had some fantastic vehicles on offer. When I was looking round, a lovely chap said hello while I was browsing. Having spotted a MG I was interested in, I popped into the sales reception area and was greeted by Sam. He went to collect the key and said I was more than welcome to look round the car, sit in it and to take as much time as I needed and didn’t put any pressure on me. Having looked round the MG, I was throughly impressed and took this car for a test drive. Again, Sam couldn’t have been more helpful. I feel in love with the car and Sam took the time to guide me through the sale and the part exchange. Not only did I feel Sam was approachable, understanding and super friendly, he knew what he was talking about and answered any questions I had. Thank you so much Sam for your fantastic customer service and care. Even when I had purchased my MG and collected it, he still followed up to make sure everything was ok. He is genuinely a lovely chap and a credit to MG Salisbury.

Terrible company with equally terrible customer service.
I took my car in for its Mot - it failed on high emissions they then said they wanted £184 to perform a diagnostic test which was inconclusive they when asked my husband to fill up the car and drive it around the area by the garage to see if this would help with the emissions- it didn’t!
They then gave me a quote to fix the car which must of been guess work as the diagnostic test was inconclusive . The work was of course a lot- £ 6000 and a whole heap of things that of course weren’t covered by the warranty. I then the garage I had bought it from and they took it in and quickly diagnosed two issues which were covered under the warrenty and the car was fixed.
Since this I have contacted Penton on numerous occasions and have been met with the most ridiculous and laughable excuses as to why I was quoted the incorrect work.
Apparently the diagnostic test was because I had a faulty door which of course would not show up on a test!
I then received an email reply back from a lady called Lizzie painter which was describing an issue I had with my Car only the email was someone else else’s car and someone else's complaint. The company strikes me as being very slapdash. They don’t know what’s going on between the workshop and desk and the customer service is awful. I am yet to get a response but avoid Garage at all costs luckily I got my money back from my bank for the diagnostic test as I refuse to pay for untrue diagnostic.

Scot was great he made the car buying process very easy and helped me with every question I had. He made me feel very comfortable. 😁

Our salesman Scott Player was professional, friendly and so helpful. As we are the older generation he had patience and went through everything in great detail.
Would thoroughly recommend Penton’s of Christchurch.

I purchased an EV from Penton in November 2023. While I absolutely loved the car itself, my experience with the dealership has been appalling. I was completely misinformed and mis-sold about the real-world range; specifically, I was never told how significantly motorway driving drains the battery compared to city driving. As a new EV owner, you rely on the "experts" to explain these nuances, but I was left to find out the hard way that the promised figures didn't translate to my actual usage.

Beyond the car itself, I was mis-sold a 3-year Penton service plan (3 MOTs and 3 services, price £599 at the time). When I brought it in for its first service & MOT , I was told the car only needs a service every 2 years - meaning they sold me a plan I literally I did not need.

The aftercare is the worst I’ve experienced. I drove out of my first service with a tire sensor warning, only to be told I’d need to pay £200 for a diagnostic check. It turns out they simply hadn't inflated the tires correctly during the service. To be asked for £200 to fix their own oversight is daylight robbery.

I haven’t even tried to contact them directly about the service plan because whenever I’ve tried to challenge them in the past, like I did with the tires, I’ve been met with nothing but attitude.

My advice: The car was great, but do your own detailed research before buying. Don't rely on what the sales team tells you about range, and challenge every "additional cost" they try to slide past you. Avoid this garage if you value honesty and respect.

Scott at Penton in Christchurch was very helpful throughout the whole process of purchasing a new MG4. He was very professional and not too pushy. Also the manager Joe Hughes was very supportive while Scott was on vacation. One of the smoother handovers I’ve had, everything was prepared in advance and ready for when I collected the new car and they even remembered the mats without having to be reminded. Very pleased. Thank you.

I needed a bigger car for my wheelchair Penton was doing a very good deal Scott was so kind helping out with the problems I had and sorted them and when I ordered the car he has been there wi th any questions I had by email. Picked the car up and everything went so smoothly put us at ease.

Jack was a extremely helpful and nothing was too much trouble, always happy to answer questions and with honesty.

Excellent service again from Jack, this is the 3rd car I have been sold by him now. Nick was also very helpful. Top team keep up the good work guys.

A great place to purchase a car. Everything explained in great detail. Switching from a petrol car to an automatic EV is quite a leap. Still learning many things you can do, but hey I can drive it. Sam Lever is an excellent car salesman.

We purchased our MG through penton and the after sales was non existence and will not buy anything from this company.
I wasn't explained how anything worked or offered any information about the service plans.
We have now brought our other car from another Citroën garage and the service Plan through another MG dealer

Excellent service. Thank you.

Very good service. Knowledgeable agent who helped me through the process of purchasing the car.

Sam was a lovely guy to deal with, very friendly and personable. Explained everything well, sourced guidance when needed (he is still learning the trade) but wasn't pushy either. Ben, Sam's manager was equally as nice. Definitely recommend dealing with these chaps. BTW, the car is amazing too 😁

Great experience buying our first EV the S5 at Penton.
Lovely people, knowlegable and very professional. Thanks you!

We dealt with Sam Lever at Pentons. He was excellent very helpful and polite. A long time since we bought a new car and Sam helped us tremendously along the way with the technology, paperwork and delivery. He was brilliant

This is my second car from penguins at Christchurch,both times dealt with scott,very happy with his approach and knowledge.happy to recommend Scott and pentons in general.Will go there again when I need to

Recently bought a car with my daughter and met Matt Notley sales executive. He was very knowledgeable professional and friendly. We did not feel pressured or rushed at all went for a test drive for as long as we wanted. All my questions answered I would buy from there again in the future all a very positive experience with plenty of hot chocolate to help :)

He was very knowledgeable and adept at knowing our requirements and answering our questions .Sam made the experience very easy and pleasant thank you for an enjoyable and satisfactory result.

Scott Player was really friendly to deal with and took his time to let me look around the vehicle and answer questions I had. Post-sale Scott was very accommodating and went out of his way to help fix some issues with the vehicle following collection.
