Thanks to Nicole

I wanted to leave feedback about my experience with John Clark, as I was genuinely impressed with the service I received from start to finish.

I initially emailed about the car, but I wasn’t able to view it straight away due to my driving licence details being updated with the DVLA following a name change. What stood out to me was that I was never pressured, chased, or constantly contacted like I have experienced with other dealerships. Nicole provided the information I asked for when I was ready and gave me time and space to make the right decision.

I dealt with Nicole throughout the process, and she was fantastic. When I eventually went to view the car, everything was handled professionally and efficiently. I was able to take the car for a test drive, ask questions, and make my decision without any pressure or pushy sales tactics. The whole experience felt relaxed and customer-focused, and we were able to agree on a deal that worked for me. Everyone was so friendly, offering cups of coffee, to being told jokes - which I still tell at work - I wasn’t able to remember his name but wanted to pass on my thanks to him also - I do remember he used to work in window sales.

I also had some issues with my previous finance company, which could have made the process stressful, but Nicole was incredibly reassuring, helpful, and proactive in getting everything sorted as quickly as possible. She kept me updated, supported me throughout, and made what could have been a frustrating situation feel much easier.

I was extremely happy with the level of service I received. John Clark is different from other dealerships I have dealt with — they genuinely listen to customers, respect their decisions, and don’t bombard you with unnecessary calls and emails. Their communication is professional, timely, and based around what the customer actually needs.

From the first email to collecting my car, I felt valued and looked after. The whole team made the process straightforward, stress-free, and enjoyable. I would highly recommend John Clark to anyone looking for a dealership that offers honest advice, excellent customer service, and a pressure-free buying experience.

A special thank you to Nicole and team for making the whole experience such a positive one.

Sadly not the experience I was hoping…

Sadly not the experience I was hoping for! Communication before sale was great however felt I had to do the chasing regarding anything to do with my car after sale. While picking up my car I was asked to do a review wich I was later told my review was not good enough and if I changed it my fuel tank would be filled up( all this sitting in my car not in the show room) when I said I couldn’t change as didn’t know how to get back in, that wasn’t a problem as the salesman said he could do it. Feeling under pressure and uncomfortable this happened and no more mention of fuel! When salesman got out my car I noticed the seats were dirty so said and my car then had to be booked in to get cleaned! So few days later I walked to work, when I went to pick up car I was told it was again sent back as only front seats had been cleaned. No handbook was with the car and I was told one would be ordered but I still have no handbook. I noticed a chip on the window ( was small I originally thought it was a dirty mark) so brought it to salesman attention and said he would get this booked in and be in touch again a week later still no word until I messaged sales manager, then salesman phoned asking if I had been! No date or where to go had been given to me so this was impossible. I did then take my car to get window screen fixed, still awaiting handbook and feeling like the joy of buying a new car has well and truly been taken away as this has been one of my worst experiences buying a car!

Trying to buy a car.

Booked a test drive on the Friday via the website for a Sunday slot. Received an acknowledgement on Saturday morning that someone from the sales team would contact me. Called the Aberdeen number 4 different times on Sunday and got no answer. Received 2 short calls on Monday night from John Clark but no human at the other end of the phone. Shocking service.

Dear DIane,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sincerely sorry for the poor experience you had while trying to book a test drive.
It is disappointing to hear that our communication fell short, both in terms of the lack of response on Sunday and the issues with the return calls on Monday. We aim to make the car-buying process as seamless as possible, and it is clear we did not meet that standard in this instance.
Best regards,

Disingenuous, terrible communication, profit seeking over root cause repair

Took my car for MOT. Failed for a warning light that had been on for years and the same garage had been passing for years. Charged for an investigation, subsequently £1000 of parts put in the car. Given the keys. Engine warning light still on…oh it could be the sensor they say. The investigation is not for root cause it’s to find profit. The communication from before MOT to after when I tried to complain is nothing short of a disgrace. Never replied or just the action they took. No choice but to contact trading standards now.

Used Stepway purchase inc part-ex.

Good, quick service from Scott Arthur. Deal fully completed in less than 5 working days, so 5-stars for him.
Overall score knocked down 1-star as customer parking on-site is absolutely terrible. Extra time has to be allotted for finding a parking space when arriving for appointments. Situation not helped by all the double yellow lines on all the nearby roads.
