Why is there no Renault dealer in Aberdeen?

Anybody know why?

Sorry, I don't know the answer to your question but it does explain why my brother apparently has to go to Peterhead for warranty work and recalls.

There was until reasonably recently, it's now an Amec office.

I believe it was Arnold Clark and they closed it and moved elsewhere?

I see I'm mistaken, nearest dealer is in the Broch.

It's actually not even in the relative civilisation of Fraserburgh, it's a few miles away in Memsie (which is basically a crossroads with a few houses scattered about). It's about the least glamorous dealership in the world, surprised they're still going.

I think its because the French cant understand the Scottish

Actually I think it's because everyone in Aberdeen wants a white audi on pcp and not, you know, something cheap.

Probably cause the one that was there was horrendous!

My old megane sport went into limp mode, phoned them to see if they could help, got told the first time they could even look at it was 3 weeks later!!!!

Can't remember who they were, it was on the lang stracht

This and aberdonians love getting bent over for a BMW or Mercedes. PCP is king ha.

First time I've seen the Broch and civilisation mentioned in the same sentence for a while

Like! The last voiture francaise to grace my drive went a long time ago. Bloody awful things, Renault were actually the best of a bad bunch in my opinion.

It was Evans Halshaw Renault/Nissan and Stratstone Jaguar (Pendragon) on the site with Peter Carry Vauxhall next to it, my understanding is Pendragon binned off Nissan which John Clark (Specialist Cars took over) Pendragon then sold Stratstone Jaguar and Evans Halshaw Renault to Peter Vardy who closed the Renault dealership down.

Not sure what the plan for that whole area is: http://www.am-online.com/news/2014/11/11/plans-for...
