We are please to welcome a new company to the wortec group of
dealers..............Pentagon @ Burton on Trent

Richard Wagstaffe (former manager at Archie Moss) has returned to the
Vauxhall fold after a short flirtation with another manufacture!
and is now heading up the NEW team at "Pentagon" Vauxhall (Burton upon
trent) with the expert help of Nick Locker.

The Pentagon group are channeling all Monaro and VXR work into the
Burton site and as part of this have taken on the "Wortec" products
and services.

All our Monaro and VXR8 products are available from Pentagon now and
they will also stock our future VXR products as they come on line.

Pentagon began selling cars way back in 1991 and our mission when we started out is still unchanged today; to make car-buying and servicing easy and affordable and to treat people like we would want to be treated.

Since those early days we've grown quite a bit. We're now one of the UK's top 30 dealer groups, but unlike most large dealer groups we haven't forgotten how important our customers are.

We like to think that we're on a mission to eradicate the things we hate about some other dealers and car supermarkets, like those extended warranties they try to frighten you into buying. Our aim is to sell great cars at fair prices.

We hope we serve you well.

Wortec stuff is good quality but too expensive in my opinion, £500 for an ecu remap? £7k for a supercharger? - please!

Congrats to Pentagon though, it's good to have another dealer on our side

By simply employing decent mechanics who respect the customers car when they even just get into it would be nice, warrentees and the like are ok but I just find nearly every mech I have used seems bored of cars and treats yr prde and joy as if it was a £500 bucket cos its "just a car". Good luck to pentagon if they are different.

That's why I only trust Mark at Rapid or Roger at Monkfish. They are proper mechanics (i.e they can rebuild engines etc), not fitters (who just replace whole bits).

At Pentagon Burton we have Mechanics that have been at this site for upto 30 years so they do know how to rebuild engine's. The Technician/Eletrician that does the Wortec kits is as keen about your car as you are.

All the good places need to develop the personal touch, great if Pendragon have it already.

Both at Monkfish and Picadors I talk to the person actually working on the car. Very happy that both look after my car properly.

Now the car is a toy this is even more important.

Apart from minor routine servicing, which a mechanic friend did for me, my HSV's were always looked after & modified by Mark (now at RapidGB).
Once I was Mark's workshop when Mike Costin, the Cos in Cosworth, dropped by to discuss with Mark details of an historic rally car engine that he was building.
That reinforced my faith in Mark being a very "serious" mechanic.
However, I was somewhat surprised that rather than driving some serious bit of exotica, or at least a classic Ford Cosworth, Mr. Costin's choice of vehicle at the time was an old diesel Renault laugh
