SCOTS CAR GIANT Arnold Clark has opened its new Skoda dealership at its Phoenix Retail Park in Paisley.

The addition of the franchise has created 22 new jobs and joins the Volkswagen and Seat brands at the site.

“We’re extremely excited about bringing Skoda to the area," David Ewart, general manager at the dealership, said.

"Skoda has had an amazing year, winning awards and even setting a new speed record in Bonneville over the summer, so we’re certain this new franchise will be a fantastic investment for Arnold Clark and for the area.
