Renault 5
Visited to test drive the new Renault 5 after making an appointment with Scott Arthur. We really liked the car and Scott took the time to show us the differences in trim levels before we went for the test drive. Scott was great to deal with and very patient as we looked at several different specifications which required him to quote and requote until we arrived at a deal which worked for our budget.

Reno comes home
Purchase of a new R5 went very smoothly. Sales staff easy to deal with. Happy to explain the process as well as offer no pressure additional services. Vehicle collection equally smooth. Explanation of the cars fundamentals without dwelling too much on all the tech. Offered to take me to & demo how to use public chargers.
Not much fanfare for the handover. Garage really should better with this element of customer experience. Also multiple online only documents to access & review & sign.

Welcome and friendly dealership
We made an appointment to test drive a new Renault Scenic E.V car. When we went past we were met by a very welcome atmosphere in the showroom by all the staff. The sales executive who dealt with us was very well informed on the features of the car we wished to test drive, he was keen to provide a good deal to match any other price we had seen advertised and worked hard to ensure we were fully satisfied with their offer. The process of purchasing the car was made very straightforward with all details of the deal explained in simple and helpful terms. We left with a brand new car which we could not be happier with, well done all!

Good attentive staff and good car
I came into dealership to get idea how much my Renault Clio is worth. Dealership offered a good price for it and presented with purchase options that suits my needs. Sales representative was attentive and not pushy, he did entertain my asks with different options for financing allowing me to make informed choice. Thank you Scott.
In regards to the car, it had a light marks of being used and one loose panel. Might have been on display. As fine as Renault Megan E-Tech is it is over engineered in some aspects (for example passenger detection for airbags).
I definitely had better experience with John Clark Aberdeen this time around. Sales representative Scott did excellent job and was always quick to reply and follow up with promises.

I am very happy with my car
I am very happy with my car. However, I would have given 5 stars but for a problem finding out what my final payment was to be until the last minute. This was eventually sorted to my satisfaction. Secondly, it's just as well that everything is dealt with digitally otherwise I would have been drowning in a sea of paper. Surely you can find a way to simplify and reduce the amount of 'paperwork'. Otherwise 'good job'.

Exceptional Customer Care from Scott Arthur
We purchased a Renault Captur last year from Specialist Cars Aberdeen despite us living just outside Dundee, as the particular model, price and colour was exactly what we were looking for. Scott Arthur was our salesman on that occasion and the process was made so easy and pleasurable that we didn't think twice as to who we would call when we needed a 2nd car.
Scott again picked out exactly what we were after and within a week we were back to collect our Arkana.
Exceptional customer care and made to feel really appreciated.
Highly recommended.

Wow, thank you so much for your incredible feedback! We're absolutely thrilled to hear about your exceptional experience with Scott Arthur at Specialist Cars Aberdeen. We're especially delighted that you chose to return to us, even from outside Dundee, after such a positive experience with your Renault Captur purchase.
It's wonderful to know that Scott once again found the perfect car for you, the Arkana, and that you felt so appreciated. We're so glad he made both processes easy and pleasurable. We truly value your loyalty and highly recommend Scott's exceptional customer care as well! Enjoy your new Arkana! Kind regards, Lisa

I bought a car on the 28th of April paid 10.5k cash which was paid the day after in full. I received the car on Saturday the 3rd of May which I was disgusted by the car inside and out the car was stinking inside. I was told to contact them on Monday as they were short staffed. I went down on the Monday and the sales man agreed that the car had not been cleaned. I paid for the autogleam which cost me £399.00 which most definitely had not been done. I felt that you had received my money and the you couldn't be bothered with me anymore.

Reply from John Clark Motor Group - John Clark Renault
Hi Mrs Begg,
Thank you for reaching out. We are incredibly sorry and genuinely disheartened to hear about your experience after collecting your car on May 3rd. It's completely unacceptable that your car was delivered in such a poor condition, especially after you paid for the Autogleam service.
We sincerely apologize that the car's interior was unpleasant and that the Autogleam service was clearly not performed despite being paid for. We understand completely why you feel let down and that your business was no longer valued once payment was received. That is absolutely not the impression we ever want to give.
We deeply regret that our team was short-staffed and couldn't resolve this for you immediately when you first contacted us, and that you had to come down to the dealership to have your concerns acknowledged.
Please be assured we are taking your feedback very seriously. This falls far short of our standards, and we will be addressing this internally to ensure such an oversight in preparation and customer care never happens again.
Kind regards,
Lisa
