You are all right never again will I buy a car from Arnold Clark there after sales service is crap, there parts are crap, there staff are crap and speak a load of crap.
I Bought a Band new Saxo VTR from Arnold Clark in
ABERDEEN and I wish I had gone some where else.
I would love to tell you all about it but for a 6 months
old car the list is endless..
Bought a Vauxhall astra from Arnold Clark Aberdeen (ford)
and after a year I am still waiting the log book.
Every dealers the same as far as I am concerned but
Arnolds are really bad.
We have had 2 cars from Arnold Clark, Kingsway, Dundee in
the last 15 months. We bought a Renault Laguna first. After
a few weeks the front suspension went and then we had to get new shock
absorbers, the suspension bearings then went and then the drive shaft
fell off while driving. The majority of these faults were very
conveniently not under warranty. We then decided to get rid of
that car and got a Mazda 626 from them. Within the first few days
the radio went, the brake discs were buckled. We then had to have
the back shock absorbers had to be replaced and the wrong plugs had been
put in when it had it's pre-check from Arnold Clark, but they could not
fix it and sent us to a Mazda dealer. We then found out while it
was at the Mazda garage they discovered a recall notice had not been
carried out by Arnold Clark as they were the registered owner before we
bought it. The staff at the garage were unhelpful and did not seem
to know what the other one was doing as you would!
d get a different story every time you phoned. We still
think there are problems with the suspension, but Arnold Clark have washed
their hands of them. We have plenty more stories regarding our
dealings with this garage and I would advise anyone looking for a car not
to go to Arnold Clark as they seem content to sell unroadworthy cars.

Just love the site. can you please add my comments to
your forum ?
I had reason to complain about the service department of
the Rover dealership on Hamilton Road, Glasgow three months ago. my car
was booked in for a service and as usual the money they were getting for
the service did not appear to be enough for them. they phoned me to tell
me that I would need new brake pads all round, a part of my exhaust
would need replacing, a crankshaft oil seal was needed and various other
little things that would add up to over £200 on top of my service bill.
I refused to authorize them for this work and picked my car up the
following day. I then took the vehicle to a Kwik fit outlet close to my
home and asked the mechanic to have a quick look at my exhaust and my
brake pads. this he did and reported back to me that my exhaust was
perfect and I could look forward another 10.000 miles from my brake
pads. now what does Arnold Clark think he is playing at ?
I'll tell you what he is playing at, he was in my opinion
trying it on with me and attempting to get a few quid out of me when my
car did clearly not require the work.
I telephoned the branch to complain but they were adamant
that the work needed done, I phoned the head office but I would have
been better sticking my head up the exhaust pipe as they were a total
waste of space.
I have learned my lesson with Mr. Arnold Clark and his
organization. I know that had I given permission to carry out this work
I would have been £200 poorer, Mr. Clark would have been £200 richer
and I would have been none the wiser, as it is I saved myself £200 and
have promised myself never to return.
ps, the brake pads and the exhaust are still on the car
and still working perfectly.
I would be grateful if you could add this e-mail to your
site.
ARNOLD CLARK Great Homer Street. Liverpool.
Bought a Seat from this man. you people up in Scotty land
must be real daft. water was leaking into the car from the passengers
door and water was leaking out of the engine through the water pump.
could this crowd of chancers fix it ? no chance, they had the car on at
least 12 occasions.
can I tell you about the rattle from the front wheels ?
can I tell you about how the heater worked a treat in the summer but as
soon as it got near winter the heater blows cold air ? can I also tell
you about the time they charged me for a load of work but the car sat in
the service yard all day ?
you know what you can do with your Arnold Clark
Automobiles ? you can take them back over the friggin border and keep
them there.
