Very disappointing experience with Arnold Clark Vauxhall Aberdeen. I received an initial valuation for my BMW and was clearly told the price would be valid for 1 week, so I booked an appointment based on that. On arrival, after inspection, the offer was reduced by £1,000. I was then asked to provide full service history as physical documents, even though BMW service records are stored digitally in the iDrive system. Ironically, I purchased the same car from Arnold Clark 4 years ago and was told at the time that the service history is stored in the vehicle itself. I was asked to return with documentation and rebooked for another appointment. When I returned with the requested service history, the offer was reduced again by a further £2,000, with Manager explanation that their system had updated the valuation and they could no longer honour the original price. despite previously stating the offer was valid for 1 week. Due to this and the handling by inexperienced staff, I was unable to proceed with the sale. The whole process felt misleading and a complete waste of time. Based on this experience, I would not recommend.
I purchased a vehicle on PCP finance from the Arnold Clark Stretford branch in November 2024 and experienced repeated injector-related issues shortly after purchasing. After requesting the service history, I discovered a report from August 2024, prior to the vehicle being supplied to me, showing that injectors 1, 2 and 3 had already been replaced and the 4th injector was found melted. This clearly indicates the vehicle had a pre-existing fault. Despite this evidence, the company concluded that the issues were “not related”. However, the car has been taken in three times within a year for injector failures, showing that these are clearly related and ongoing issues. I have now escalated the matter to the Financial Ombudsman Service. Overall, the complaint handling and service at this branch did not meet my expectations.
