Negative experiences of the company
Booked service through Volvo app including, what for me on this occasion, was necessary pick up or courtesy car. Last time I tried the ‘lounge’ experience. After a long, long wait that day, it was an experience I resolved never to repeat. Booking went through, all set. However they waited two days to tell me there’d be no pick up and no courtesy car. Receptionist who called had a ‘couldn’t care less’ attitude and was pretty much ‘take it or leave it’. I chose to leave it. Arnold Clark on the other hand couldn’t have been more helpful. Based on this and a previous experience with one of their Land Rover dealers, who reneged on a new car deal to make more money out of me as Covid hit car supplies, this is not a company I trust or would deal with again.

Dear Stewart,
Thank you for your feedback, and we’re sorry to hear about your experience.
It’s clear that we fell short of expectations, both in terms of communication and service. The delay in confirming availability of a courtesy car or collection, particularly after your booking was accepted, understandably caused frustration, and we regret the inconvenience this caused. It's also disappointing to hear that the tone of our follow-up left you feeling dismissed, which is not the level of care or professionalism we aim to deliver.
Please be assured we are reviewing this internally to understand what went wrong and ensure improvements are made. We appreciate you taking the time to share this with us it helps us to do better.
Many thanks,
Sara

Happy customer
We received a helpful straight forward service from Adam Cardy at Volvo Aberdeen. A few visits to the showroom finalising colour, specification etc. then one more visit for a little help placing our order - and 9 weeks later collecting our new XC90. No hassle, no disappointments, just good attentive service. Thank you Adam and Volvo Aberdeen.

The process to buy the car was straightforward and simple through the Volvo app.
The estimated dates of arrival through the app. didn't quite line up with the actual dates in the end, which made it quite difficult to plan.
We part exchanged our car for the new one, and the payment of the equity in our car took 6 days to reach our account from handover. Which is quite disappointing when payment of deposits etc. for the new car are required up front many days before collection.

Great Buying Experience
Recently purchased a car from John Clark Volvo and I am delighted with the service I received. There was great communication throughout, which meant I was fully aware of the purchase options and available extras etc. Collecting the car was seamless, with Adam Cardy spending time explaining the controls and setting up the car for me. I haven’t required any after sales assistance yet, but if it is as good as the sales experience, it will be good.

POOR AFTER SALES & USED VEHICLE ISSUES
Purchased an approved used vehicle in March 2025. Less than 3 weeks into ownership there have been multiple issues with the vehicle and it's been at a Volvo workshop at a different dealer. Alongside investigating a squeaking AC vent and multiple warning lights, they carried out a 'health check' which stated my wiper blades were insufficient, jacking block was missing and brake discs worn, advising replacement. Very disappointed and not what I was expecting from an approved used vehicle.
UPDATE 21/5/25 - @Sara It's been over 3 weeks since I left this review and I've had no contact from anyone in customer service. Unfortunately I have now revised my rating from 2 to 1 star due to this being unresolved with no attempt at communication.
UPDATE 23/7/25 - NO RESPONSE

Dear N Murray,
Thank you for your feedback, and we're genuinely sorry to hear about the issues you've experienced so soon after purchasing your Approved Used vehicle. This is not the standard we strive to deliver, and we understand how disappointing and frustrating this must be.
Our team will be reviewing the details of your case thoroughly and liaising with the relevant departments to understand what’s happened. We will be in touch directly to discuss this further and work towards a resolution. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention.
Many thanks,
Sara

Disappointing handover preparation
Car was not prepared for pick up when purchasing - despite paying for supaguard treatment car was dirty inside throughout and had not been properly washed - missing patches on roof and wheels. Handover staff tried to improve hence not one star but in the end fact is that the job was not done. Overall very disappointed at attention to detail and lack of preparation and being charged for a treatment that did not take place.

Good morning,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're genuinely sorry to hear that your vehicle was not fully prepared for collection, especially given the Supagard treatment you purchased. This falls short of the standards we aim to deliver, and we completely understand your disappointment.
While it's good to know our handover team did what they could on the day, the fact remains that the vehicle should have been presented in a far better condition from the outset. Please accept our sincere apologies.
We would like to investigate this matter in more detail and ensure it is followed up properly. However, as your review has come through anonymously, we’re unable to identify your purchase. If you're happy to get in touch with us directly, we’d really appreciate the opportunity to look into this further and put things right.
Many thanks,
Sara
