Arnold Clark hopes to boost parts sales to independent garages after teaming up with Vauxhall Trade Club to offer a regular delivery service across western Scotland.

A Movano van equipped with special parts binning and racking runs twice a week from Arnold Clark's Vauxhall dealership in Greenock. It supplies a comprehensive stock of fast-moving car and van parts for services and MoTs.

Donald Walker, parts manager at Arnold Clark in Greenock, said: “It's a great way for me to get out and meet existing and new Trade Club customers and really understand their needs.”

Arnold Clark has also launched a motorcycle service from its new dealership in Glasgow to deliver smaller vehicle parts throughout the area.

Parts manager John McCrae said: “Even with the sort of inner city congestion we are now experiencing, we can get these parts to our customers quickly using our bike service, with a one-hour delivery guaranteed for local customers.”

  • Vauxhall has appointed Nigel Griggs as aftersales manager to help expand the business through all parts sales channels. Mr Griggs will control aftersales marketing activity through MasterFit centres, Trade Club and approved bodyshops as well as fleet, retail parts and accessories.
