A fantastic company with professional levels of service. I had the pleasure to deal with Alistair MacDonald today and was throughly impressed with his professionalism. My usual fears of pressure sales tactics were immediately put to rest, made to feel like my Inquiry mattered but not pressured to buy.
Id highly recommend anyone thinking of buying a van to give these guys a shout. We will definitely be buying more vans from them. Thanks Alistair for all your help.

Arnold Clarke is a good dealer offering a lot of used and new cars. It focuses on Renault but does stock other cars, mainly that have been part exchanged. We bought a car from them and got a good part ex price. The service was very helpful and friendly, but they did try and push the finance on to you which I didn't like, offering extra discounts that would have been cancelled out by the finance agreement interest rate. They got the car taxed, MOT'd and serviced and threw in a CD player, so I was pleased with the service.
