About Arnold Clark
Written by the company
Our story
Founded in 1954, Arnold Clark is the UK’s largest independent, family-run car retailer. The company started with a single-car showroom on Glasgow’s Park Road, given flight by its founder’s simple philosophy: to offer genuine value for money and customer service of the highest level. Nowadays, Arnold Clark has over 180 branches across the UK – selling over 200,000 cars a year in locations stretching from Elgin to Southampton. With over 20,000 used cars, new cars, nearly new cars, new vans and used vans in stock at any one time, customers can buy their next vehicle in branch or even online from the comfort of home with Click & Collect. The company continues to stand apart from its competitors thanks to its industry-leading ‘Best Deal Guarantee’ – a commitment to offering customers the best used car deals in the UK. Beyond car sales And while Arnold Clark is a name that’s synonymous with vehicle sales, there’s much more to the business than you see on the showroom floor. The Group offers everything that a customer might need for the onward journey, with parts and servicing departments, an accident repairs division, and insurance services. Driving the EV future The company has also significantly invested in EV technology and the future of the automotive industry – launching its own UK-wide, ultra-rapid charging network with over 500 charge points, and acquiring EV charge point installation provider Bumblebee. Since taking these steps, Arnold Clark has been recognised for its commitment and investment in EVs – winning ‘EV Retailer of the Year’ at the Motor Trader Awards in 2022, the ‘Innovation Award’ at the Auto Trader Retailer Awards in 2023 and EV Advocate of the Year at the AM Awards 2026. Continued expansion The Group continues to expand its footprint with a vehicle rental and fleet management operation (Arnold Clark Car & Van Rental and Arnold Clark Leasing), vehicle auction division (Central Car Auctions), security alarm and fire safety provider (Assure Alarms), EV charge point provider (Bumblebee) as well as an industry-leading training group (GTG Training). With five dedicated training centres across the UK, GTG Training provides high-quality training courses and education across a wide range of disciplines, including Business Skills, Computer & IT, Health & Safety, Transport & Logistics and Automotive Technical. Giving back to our communities And while its business operations continue to flourish, Arnold Clark remains committed to giving back to the communities it serves and supports. This is demonstrated through its continued support of local schools, charities, community groups and sports teams through initiatives like the Community Fund and Gear Up For Sport, as well as high-level sponsorships of events like the Kiltwalk. Since its launch in March 2021, the Community Fund has helped over 20,000 organisations across the UK from a wide range of backgrounds. Recognised for excellence Recognised by many industry figureheads over the years, Arnold Clark has received many accolades for its innovative and forward-thinking approach to car sales – including from the AM Awards, Motor Trader Awards, Auto Trader Retailer Awards, Autocar Awards and more.

Absolutely terrible experience with…
Absolutely terrible experience with Arnold Clark. I am extremely disappointed with both the vehicle and the level of customer service I have received.
The car broke down after only one day of driving. I returned it to be repaired, and it has now been sitting with them for over a week with no proper updates. I have tried contacting them by phone, but my calls are not being answered, and getting any information has been incredibly difficult.
The lack of communication, poor customer service, and complete lack of urgency have been extremely frustrating. After spending a significant amount of money on a vehicle, I expected a much higher standard of support.
Buying a car should not result in this much stress and disappointment. I would not recommend Arnold Clark based on my experience so far. Avoid unless you are prepared for poor communication and a lack of customer care.

Easy purchase from Arnold Clark Workington
Helpful salesman, who wasn't too pushy. The car, which was pre-registered, but, essentially, new, was available at a good price. We liked the car, too.

Really helpful and friendly!
Rachel was incredibly helpful when it came to finding a car that met all my requirements. She was so friendly and welcoming, and I felt really well looked after throughout the whole process. Everyone at Arnold Clark BMW was lovely, and they made the experience easy and enjoyable.
Thank you so much!

Customer service
Customer service. If you want an honest sales person go here. They made us feel welcome from start to finish allowed us to look around the cars without pushing a sale and gave us honest feedback, when deciding on which car to buy without being pushy. We were torn between two cars and they sold us the car that was best for what we needed. I don’t think I would go anywhere else now to buy a car. Shout out to Josh and Chris who helped us decide on which car to buy and made the whole process stress free.

50/50
Sales rep was unbelievably accommodating and helpful. My car is great I love it, accept I couldn’t figure out why my cruise control wouldn’t work. They tried to charge me for someone to take a look as I was “out of my 6 months warranty”. I rang about the issue multiple times and was told I’d get a call back 3 times and not once received this, so had to ring back myself… again. I asked for a manager to ring me back as no one else was clearly capable. He was 10/10 also very accommodating. I took the car in he said they’d have a look and see why it’s not letting me use cruise control. I took the car and only waited around 30 minutes. They said I needed a system update and would have to take it to Volkswagen themselves. On my way to work the following days after I thought I’d press a few buttons and see if they did anything. Turns out it was just the main switch of the cruise control was turned off. Literally the press of a button and it’s been working fine ever since. Why did they not know this would be the case over the phone??? It’s such a simple thing surely?! I then noticed my aircon switch had snapped off and another aircon no longer twists after receiving the car back. Rang about this and was told “they won’t even look at it” ????? I’m gutted because I could not fault the service I received on the day of buying the car. I now feel they’re trying to get money from me anywhere possible.
