John Clark opens £9m Aberdeen Audi centre

John Clark Motor Group has opened a £9m purpose-built Audi showroom in Aberdeen.

The four acre site, which is located in the city’s Balmoral Park development, is the group’s largest dealership and employs 151 staff including 39 technicians and 12 apprentices.

Aberdeen Audi is situated alongside the group’s recently completed Mini and Nissan dealerships and is the first site in Scotland to feature the Audi Terminal design. The premises are double the size of the group’s previous Audi site features a showroom big enough to display 22 new cars, a 36 bay workshop and customer parking for 200 cars.

The site’s Audi Approved Used business is run from a standalone showroom housing 12 cars and with an outdoor display area big enough for over 120 cars.

Visitors to the workshop will be directed to the three lane Drive-In area located next to the service reception. Upon arrival guests will be greeted by a concierge before being introduced to their service advisor.

The main site also features a dedicated Audi Sport area for customers wishing to personalise the performance and body styling of their car. Visitors can also choose between two lounge areas to speak with sales executives as opposed to the more traditional and formal desk format. There are also two dedicated customer handover areas and a room dedicated to Audi’s bespoke Configurator system will be opened in November.

Alan Robertson, head of business for Aberdeen Audi said: “This is an extremely exciting time for the team at Aberdeen Audi. We all feel privileged to work in such superior facilities and are excited about welcoming customers into their new Audi Terminal.

“Anyone that visits the new site will immediately see the customer benefits, ample customer parking being the first obvious example, and with the Drive-In service, handover bays and exceptional lounge facilities we have great foundations to deliver both exceptional and memorable customer experiences.”

John Clark is rated at 18 in the Motor Trader Top 200.
