  • Forthcoming service - any dealership recommendations near NW Manchester?

    Hi guys will be looking to book the THP's first service within a weekor two. So I need to select a dealership. Ideal requirements are:
    • Will collect from work, service and return same day
    • Will follow 'no not clean' instructions
    • Will do a decent job.
    • If needed a courtesy car would be required

    I'm in the M24 area of Manchester and would likely dealership via location would be:

    Pentagon Oldham - Citroen
    Park Road
    Oldham
    Lancashire
    OL4 1SR

    Any pro / cons for them, or alternative recommendation?

    We bought the car from Walker Farrimond Ltd in Nelson, and they would do the work but as they are 35-40 minutes away on the motorway they are not ideal.

    Barclays Warrington are the only dealership I've had a standard of good service from. Bury, Bolton and Manchester never seem to know the difference between their arseholes and a windscreen.

      Bury are useless as are Stockport and Sale. Only local ones that are half decent are Bolton and Hyde.

          Hi Daron, I bought my car from Pentagon Oldham, but to date I haven't had any cause to have dealings with their service department (thankfully), so afraid I can't give you a recommendation one way or the other on that one. I will be looking to use them for my servicing in the future, so I too would appreciate any feedback from others in the area.

          Middleton area? I used to be a member at North Manchester Golf Club at Rhodes; we used to get quite a few cheeky chappies off the Langley estate, whose idea of fun was to run out of the trees and pinch golf balls off the fairways - oh, how we laughed at their antics!

                  Now, now, Andy, I'm not sure that calling them "scrotes" is altogether fair - I've used much harsher terms! But, in reality, I'm sure they're just "misunderstood"

                    The excuse nowadays I believe is that they have ADHD

                      Ah, that's progress for you. We didn't have anything like that when I were a lad - we had it tough!

                        I bought my car from Stoneacre in Hyde & have been very satisfied with the service I've received from them.

                            Can I ask why you are looking for collection so much?
