Hodsons of Penkridge: Ford-authorised servicing and used car sales

Hodsons of Penkridge is a family-run business that states more than 50 years of experience in the motor trade. Its activity combines the sale of used cars and commercial vehicles with servicing, mechanical repair and accident repair. The company presents itself as one of a small number of Ford-authorised repairers, a status that covers Ford servicing and warranty work, and it also runs a Ford-approved accident repair centre on site.

Used vehicle stock

The dealership sells used cars across all makes rather than limiting itself to a single brand. Its search tools are organised by manufacturer, with Audi, Citroen, Ford, Honda, Jaguar, Kia, Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz, MINI, Nissan, Peugeot, Skoda, Vauxhall, Volkswagen and Yamaha listed among the marques handled, and buyers can search by any make or model. Used commercial vehicles are also part of the offer, and the business invites owners to sell their car to it.

At the time of writing this profile, the featured stock included the following vehicles:

• Ford Kuga 2.0 TDCi Titanium, SUV, diesel, manual, Euro 6, 150 PS, 2018 (68), 77,034 miles, priced at £8,699 after a reduction from £9,499.

Ford servicing and warranty work

The workshop is staffed by Ford-trained technicians and covers diagnostics, servicing and repairs. The business states that it is authorised to repair all Ford vehicles under the manufacturer's warranty, and it also handles Ford Service and FordPass matters. Beyond the Ford specialisation, servicing and mechanical repair are carried out on all makes and models.

Accident repair centre

Accident repair is handled at a manufacturer-approved Accident Repair Centre located on the same site. The bodyshop has its own contact address, and the company describes the facility as Ford-approved. This service sits alongside the general mechanical work rather than replacing it.
