Arnold Clark Automobiles

Back once again with the renegade master, D4 damager power to the people… The song is playing in my head as I write this. Mainly because I’ve been back and forth this month sorting out servicing and MOT for my car which I also bought from here.
If I was to summarise in one sentence all there is to say about AC, it’d be ‘I’m nothing but impressed.‘
Buying a car can be stressful business, looking after it ain’t a breeze either. Getting one from from here however doesn’t feel like a normal ‘here Ya go see Ya later’ sale transaction. You don’t just by a product and leave. It feels like a long term investment, Beginning of a relationship, one that gets stronger with time. It’s fairly clear they invest heavily in their staff because it feels like they genuinely care. I say ‘feels like’ because sure some of the times cheddar is involved in the service. The cheesy grin and cringe worthy ‘sir’ here n there. The small talk, the corporate marketing lingo ‘we believe in this n that’ all that jazz… But on the whole there really isn’t much to complain about. The show room is spacious and there’s ample space to relax with a magnificent coffee machine to keep you (and if you have kids) company. (There’s a kids play area… No coffee for the kids!) I’ve been dealing with the same staff for over a year and they’ve been there longer than that, so low staff turnover is always a good sign for any business. The service and MOT plan is well worth having if you buy a car from here. It’s such a hassle free and honest place to get it done. And they do it right, there are no short cuts. Which, at the end of the day is important. safety comes first n all that.
It’s obviously not everyday you rock up on Unilocal thinkin, Hmm need to find a decent place to buy new wheels. But if you ARE in that place I’d highly recommend AC. Sure it might be a couple of grand steeper but it’s very stress free with the service/​MOT plus various other add ons.

These people have got to be the worst people to buy a car from! They sell you a car, get you to sign the paperwork then bump the price up when you collect it, completely ignoring the «sale of goods act» their loophole is that you haven’t yet signed the finance documents — so be aware, should be called Arnold Shark!
