Ford dealer hands over car for free after prospective owner loses battle with cancer
Arnold Clark had built a car to Kevin Quinn’s specification, but he sadly died before collection. The dealer settled the bill with Ford and handed over the key to his family for free
Arnold Clark has gained national praise for a kind gesture, gifting a brand new car to a recently bereaved family.
Customer Kevin Quinn sadly died on March 3 but he had placed an order for a brand new Ford Focus in January from Arnold Clark’s Glasgow South Street branch.
According to a family member who posted on the social network LinkedIn, Quinn had been battling with cancer for three years before sadly passing away.
When the family received a call to say the car was ready for collection, they informed the dealership of the sad news. However, later they received a call to say that they would not need to pay and that Arnold Clark would cover the costs of the black ST Line model.
“Today we received a call from Arnold Clark advising that the car was ready for collection and they had to be advised that Kevin had sadly passed.
Although a source at Arnold Clark said that it was amazing to see the response online, they chose not to comment out of respect to the family.
