Hawco Group

Authorised Audi, Volkswagen and Škoda dealership in the north of Scotland

Hawco Group is a dealership group with over 70 years of experience in vehicle sales and servicing in the north of Scotland. The company presents itself as an authorised Audi, Volkswagen and Škoda retailer, and its network of showrooms is spread across Inverness, Elgin and Peterhead. The group has been part of John Clark Motor Group, one of Scotland's largest family-owned automotive groups, for some time, according to the company itself.

Brands and models available

The new vehicle range covers the three brands represented. For Volkswagen, the catalogue includes the ID electric range, the Polo city car, the digital Golf and Tiguan models, as well as the commercial vehicle range with vans, camper vans and the Amarok pick-up. For Audi, the company highlights the A3, the Q range of premium SUVs and the e-tron electric range. For Škoda, it mentions the Fabia and the family SUVs, in particular the new Kodiaq. New vehicles can be configured with various personalisation options.

Used vehicles and online buying

The group sells a selection of used vehicles under the Approved Used name. According to the company's information, each unit has been checked by its technicians and comes with an approved warranty. The purchase process can be completed remotely: reserving a used vehicle costs £99, and it is possible to apply for finance or pay online. Most of the paperwork can be completed from home. For those who prefer to part-exchange their current vehicle, the company offers a market valuation based on the customer's description and help with any outstanding finance.

Aftersales service and bodyshop

In addition to sales, Hawco Group provides full aftersales service: servicing, repairs and genuine parts. Through Hawco Paint & Body, its manufacturer-approved bodyshop in Inverness, it carries out body repairs, accident damage repair and body and paintwork using genuine parts and approved repair methods. The group also offers servicing and MOT testing for Audi, Škoda and Volkswagen, as well as for commercial vehicles.

Financial services and special programmes

Finance is arranged through Hawco & Sons Limited, which acts as an appointed representative of ITC Compliance Limited, an entity authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (registration number 313486). The company operates as a credit broker, not as a lender, and works with a limited number of finance providers. It does not charge fees for its consumer credit services and may receive commission from the providers it introduces, the amount of which is disclosed to the customer during the sales process. Finance applications are subject to approval and conditions, and are intended exclusively for UK residents aged 18 or over, and guarantors may be required. The group also serves Motability Scheme members, who can visit any of its dealerships for advice on the right vehicle.
