If i could give 0 stars I would!! WORST customer service I’ve ever experienced. Purchased a car for there to be an electrical fault within 4 weeks of having this car. 8+ weeks later and no one is returning calls or emails and still no car. No clue if it is fixed or not. The car was purchased at Hyundai Inverness - would not recommend.

Very unhelpful company

Very unhelpful company, I am trying to get a service history on a car after the garage who sold it to me stitched me up and gave me a dodgy history book and now gone bust, they wouldn't help me out at all. I appreciate there are GDPR rules but other garages have helped once I proved I now own the car. Terrible customer service

Edit following response - it was customer care that I reached out to so no point contacting them again!

A big thank you to Ricky from Arnold Clark in oldbury, he listened to what we wanted and found us the perfect car.
He explained all the options available to us and gave us plenty of time to decide.
In my opinion Arnold Clark beats all other car dealerships and I could not recommend them enough.
We will definitely use them again in the future!!!!

⭐ Arnold Clark Salford – 5 Stars

Buying my Kia Sportage GT Line from Arnold Clark Salford was a brilliant experience from start to finish. I reserved the car on Friday night, went in for a test drive on Saturday, and by Sunday I was driving it home. Everything moved quickly, smoothly, and without any stress.

Mohammed looked after me on the Saturday and talked me through the test drive and the finance side. He was clear, helpful, and made the whole process feel easy.

On Sunday, I was handed over to Samuel, who was completing his first official sale — and he was absolutely fantastic. He went through the final details with me, made sure everything was spot on, and genuinely couldn’t do enough to help. His enthusiasm and professionalism really stood out, and he made the handover feel special.

The car has been amazing, and the whole team at Arnold Clark Salford made the experience enjoyable from beginning to end. I’ll definitely be returning in the future.
