An excellent experience

A very relaxed approach from the salesman, not being too pushy. He was very professional, knowledgeable and helpful.
With a selection of franchises under the one roof it helped with our decision-making as we could easily compare the brands.
The price of the car was comptetitive,

Great Garage and Professional.

ARNOLD CLARK in Glenrothes is the best garage to go to. When needing a good choice of cars new or used, I always find what I need. Customer service is excellent and efficient too. Good deals and trade-in is fair and easy.

Poor car

To good to be true. Brought a lovely looking Ford ranger ( or so it seemed) had the car around 4 days now and the dealer buffer and polish is begging to wear off now car is riddled with scratches. The bumper is hanging on by black silicone! Another part of the bumper is cracked found a few paint touch ups that are the wrong colour to the original paint! So overall a very poor car especially when it cost 30k! I’m within my rights to return this car under the consumer act! These issues need resolving

Another great purchase from AC

Bought my new car from Arnold Clark, Sighthill this week. Can only give positive feedback from start to finish. No pushy salespeople, helped me narrow the choices down and ended up with a great car. Great trade in price, beautiful car for a great price - even got a free gift thrown in.
