Avoid this company at all costs

I bought a premium guarantee , to then a month later be told that the shop was closing , three months in counting trying to claim on it daily back and forth a with them and still not resolved

Worse than they keep telling me different amounts I’ll need to pay

The guarantee is literally a joke

If I could give zero stars I would!! Discovered a fault with my car 3 weeks ago and I must add its still within the 6 months of purchase so the dealership is responsible however they have referred me to their 'premium guarantee' which I mistakenly took out. After emailing the warranty company they told me to book my car in with one of their approved garages. After several phonecalls to all their local approved garages, I've been told that they don't have the correct diagnostics equipment for a Land Rover and it will have to go to a specialist. So why wasn't I told this when they sold me the warranty, knowingly their approved garages will never be able to fix the car they sold to me??! So the 3 year warranty I now have is absolutely pointless to me. All's they are intrested in is making money on a terrible warranty and mis selling it to their customers.

I complained two weeks ago and I'm still sat here waiting for a phone call to 'fix' this issue. Constantly false promises, zero customer service and not interested once they have your money.

Ironically, I can go to their website and book in a major service for my car yet they are unable to plug it in and find the fault. Although my £20 scanner is able to do it.

Their answer to this is that I have the option to take it to a specialist however JLR charge £200 labour per hour and I am only covered upto £30. Laughable. I also have to pay for the diagnostics myself and the work and then claim it back, so defeats the object of even having a warranty.

I should have been made aware from the start they don't fix the car they sold to me under their warranty and I'm yet to find it in their terms and conditions where it states this.

They also said my car had just been serviced when I bought it which another complete lie!!

Next step for me is involving trading standards and the Motor Ombudsman seeing as they can't be bothered replying.

Shambles of a company !!!!

Do not buy this warranty at any cost they don't cover diagnostic fee, and don't get back to you save the money you was going to purchase on this and save it for any future fault

I purchased my car through Evans Halshaw in November 2023 on 20 plate. In July this year the engine mount failed causing damage to the drive shaft and catalytic converter. I have the extended warranty which I purchased for peace of mind as I am paying a lot of money for the car. I was unable to contact pendragon as the phone just rang and rang. No response to email either. The dealership were able to make contact and pendragon declined responsibility saying the damage was not covered and the fault lay with myself!!!! I was without a car for 3 weeks as a result. Just 2 weeks later and the car has developed another fault with the dealership saying they cannot look at it until 9th September saying if I take it elsewhere it will not be covered under the warranty. I again cannot make contact with pendragon via phone and have had no response to my email. This warranty is worthless and I will be seeking compensation as a result. This is an absolutely shocking service and I will definitely be doing my research in future.

It’s very interesting to see that they respond to these reviews quick enough!!!

The customer service is shocking! My car has been sat in the garage for 4 days while I wait for a response to my emails on claiming back for the repairs through my warranty. I have called over 20 times and the phone just rings out everytime. I have emailed and asked for someone to call me but received no call back. I am reliant on my car for work and family commitments. All I want to know is what part of my repairs are covered under warranty and the go ahead to get the car fixed. Each time I have received a reply to my email I am asked another question or asked to supply another document - why is this not all asked for in the first email? It’s like a delay tactic and while they are delaying my car is sat waiting to be repaired and I don’t have a replacement car. I have been asked twice in 2 separate emails to confirm the car registration which I have already done and the paper work supplied has it on. Utterly disgusting customer service. I don’t usually leave reviews but this has made me so angry as not having my car is impacting on my life.

Bought the extended premium guarantee for 'peace of mind' driving for £399. Now have a claim and have experienced really shocking customer service. Person on email has been rude and dismissive. I provided garage estimate but now have to jump through hoops to cost OEM parts. Perhaps could have mentioned whent they asked for an official estimate, but no. Could probably speed things up by talking to someone but no-one answers the phone. 3 options with the third being payment. Thought someone will definitely answer that one. Shocked to find that no one did! It rings out for 3.5 mins then cuts off everytime. Dispute resolution abysmal!

Email address provided in Pendragon reply (Reputation Executive, seriously that's the job title on the email) was not able to help. Warranty issues nothing to do with them. Asked for a direct number to speak to the warranty. Recieved an email from Chirelle with her direct number. 4 calls over 2 days and Chirelle has yet to pick up the phone. Apparently they mess Evans Halshaw dealerships around as well. Keep your money. Don't waste it on this 'premium guarantee' or Pendragon unless your happy to fit cheap OEM parts on your car, and/ or have your car off the road for weeks.

Absolutely horrendous company to deal with, the level of service and customer handling is non existent! i had salary sacrifice vehicle with them and the minute i said i wasnt taking out another one - they charged me outrageous costs at the end of my lease! Please please avoid - save yourself money in the long run - wish i had read the reviews first!

I put my car in Halfords garage 2 weeks ago where I was told a caliper had to be replaced along with pads and dics (caused by the sticking caliper) which is cover by the premium guarantee, to begin with everything was approved ready to go then all of a sudden there were issues with accounts and was told to pay for it out my own pocket which is £800 job and have been trying to get back in touch for over a week to discuss this but to no avail, customer service is poor emails aren’t being responded to, calls aren’t being answered all for a service which I pay for! No one has given me a list of approved garages or been any help at all.

Wow , if I had read some of these reviews I would never have bought the warranty BUT I had an issue which was fixed and sorted and payment was received within 2 weeks. Fantastic , efficient and polite. E mails were responded to within a few hours. I would highly recommend. Thank you for sorting.

AVOID!!!

Sold a guarantee that covers EVERYTHING - Repairs not authorised

No response to complaints on 26th April, 4th June, 24th June. No answer on telephone - anytime.

Are you selling fraudulent financial products? Sure looks like it from here.

Whats the claims procedure Pendragon? Whats the complaints procedure? Whats your response timescales and what, if any, code of practice are you following?

* WARNING * * WARNING *
Whatever you do DON'T buy the Premium Guarantee cover unless you definitely plan on keeping the car for the whole guaranteed cover time.

There is NO REFUND if you sell the car within the time frame ( a grace period of 30 days from taking the policy is the only chance of a refund )

SCORCHED into paying £1,000 for 3 years without the knowledge of the very fine print saying no refunds once purchased if you sell the car.

PLEASE Be ADVISED - read the small print.

I would like to say a big thank-you to Paul Duffin who, when I was getting nowhere fast went over and above to get me, my car and 2 year old twins recovered. Helped me get my car on the system as the Garage had forgot to put through the warranty. A gentleman.

To whomever it may concern

I write further to my telephone call to Evans Halshaw Mansfield regarding complaints on my premium guarantee for my Mercedes Benz CLA 220d(LN16OUG) which I bought in November 2023.
On based on a unusual noise from the car i have done a diagnostics in Evans Halshaw ford Cardiff and they have diagnosed following issue: Knocking in the gear box, oil leak for Rocker cover and fuel injector seals.

I asked you to make arrangements for the car to be repaired, however Evans Halshaw Ford Cardiff have refused the repairs on the basis that they do not have the facility or parts to do the repairs or arrange a repair in any means and they were unsure about what to do next in this situation.
I had purchased a extended premium guarantee for 36 months at the time of purchase and it is just 5 months from the date of purchase.
Although the faults diagnosed are covered by the warranty, you have failed to agree to the repairs being carried out and are therefore in breach of contract.
I would make one final request for you to carry out the repairs in accordance with our contract.
If, however, you are not prepared to do this, I will have no choice but to instruct a quote for carrying out the repair form Mercedes Benz service centre. I will then forward you a copy of the quote and seek reimbursement from you in full for the cost of repairs along with any other associated losses I incur, if you continue to refuse to carry out the work.

I look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible.

Having worked with Pendragon for a number of years on the Lease side of the company I have always found them to be professional with good customer service. They have always provided good feedback to queries and issues that may have been raised in a polite and helpful manner.

I purchased a Citroen Berlingo in Jan 23 with low mileage 18k within two months it has had a emissions fault for the last 8 months on and off I have had it back and forth to Citroen and Evans Halshaw Ford and a local garage in
Blackpool/Horwich numerous times to reset but still have same fault, Citroen has now advised it’s a catalytic converter but warranty refused to pay for the item as advised I have done too many miles it’s only at 50k so been conned not only with the car purchase as it’s probably a known fault but warranty is not worth the paper it’s written on,so I now have a bill for £1880 even though as previously been stated salesman advised everything was covered
I am thinking of taking this further as the fault started when the car had only done 25k so I feel this should have been honoured
I await your reply

Avoid taking the warranty. Take ages to reply and when they do it’s to refuse claims even before you have discussed the problem. Impossible to get hold of on phone. It’s another scam that salesman push on you! All the other positive reviews will be fake.

Complete and utter waste of money – they just refuse payment for everything, even for a repair that Evans Halshaw told me the Guarantee would cover. The product is not what I’ve been told it was and – as I found out today – is non-cancellable.

A very expensive lesson and an incredibly frustrating, fruitless and negative experience with Pendragon Vehicle Management and Evans Halshaw.

AVOID!

I bought a Nissan Qashqai from Evans Halshaw, Shiremoor in June 2023 and purchased the 3 year extended Pendragon warranty having been assured that I would have no worries should anything go wrong.
The dashboard started to show the System Failure warning and I arranged to take the car back to Shiremoor to have it looked at. They lokked at it and told me it would need to go to Evans Halshaw Sunderland as they are the Nissan dealership. I took the car to Sunderland to be informed that the camera needed replacing however it was not covered by warranty,
The car was:
1.Still within the 3 months of warranty given at purchase when the fault developed.
2. Has done less than 1000 miles since purchase of fault developing.
3. I paid circa £800 for a warranty that does not appear to take account of this issue, having been told it covered everything other than tyres, oil etc. etc.
I contacted Pendragon following being informed by Evans Halshaw Sunderland that their request for funding has been rejected and that it will cost me circa £1000 to have this fault put right!
I am hoping that sense will prevail and that the hundreds of checks carried out by Evans Halshaw as advertised in the used cars advertisements will result in someone accepting responsibility for selling a car with a fault while selling an expensive warranty that does not do what I was informed it would do.

Big thank you to Louise for ensuring my warranty claim was processed without any hick ups. I have made several claims on the premium Guarantee and all been accepted. I would strongly advise anyone who has taken out the warranty to read the small print, this way you know what you are covered for under the warranty And keep on the right side of the T&Cs. They have a service follow up where you can reach out for help & assistance

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!

If I could give it less than one star I would! They refused to honour my warrantee even though it doesn’t state anywhere that this said part wasn’t covered. I rang up to discuss and they were no help at all and made me feel like I was stupid.

Do not get this warranty
