Pentagon Motor Group has announced a new group wide partnership with Castrol UK, appointing the brand as its exclusive supplier of lubricants across the business.
The agreement follows a review of the lubricants market and reflects Pentagon’s focus on product quality, technical standards and long-term value for customers and colleagues.
Pentagon said Castrol was selected due to its relationships with vehicle manufacturers, its ability to supply manufacturer-approved oil specifications across a multi-franchise network, and the scope of its DRIVE Programmes, which include training and professional development.
As part of the partnership, Castrol will roll out training support to Pentagon’s customer consultants and aftersales teams. The programme is designed to build technical knowledge, support customer conversations and promote a consistent experience across the group’s sites.
Castrol will also provide dedicated customer support, working with Pentagon teams on supply continuity, technical guidance and ongoing engagement.
Neil Tonks, group aftersales director at Pentagon Motor Group, said: “We are genuinely delighted to be partnering with Castrol UK. This is not just about lubricants, it is about aligning with a brand that shares our focus on quality, technical credibility and doing the right thing for customers.
“Castrol’s manufacturer relationships, training capability and depth of support stood out throughout the process. This partnership gives our teams the confidence that they are using the right products, to the right specification, every time, while also investing in the knowledge and capability of our people.
“By working with Castrol UK, we are reinforcing our commitment to high standards, strong partnerships and continuous improvement across our aftersales operations.”
Pentagon said the agreement supports its wider aftersales strategy, which includes protecting vehicle integrity, supporting new powertrain technologies and providing consistent, professional advice across its national network.
Jamie Garcia, European sales director at Castrol, said: “We are pleased to embark on this partnership with Pentagon Motor Group, an organisation whose vision and capabilities strongly complement our own.
“By combining our respective strengths, we can unlock new opportunities for customers while reinforcing Castrol’s long-standing commitment to quality, reliability and forward-thinking solutions.
“This collaboration with one of the UK’s most respected franchise dealer groups brings together our collective expertise to deliver even greater value across the network.”
