Our Story

We can not say it enough, our customers are important. No customers, no Arnold. We are always looking for ways to talk to you, to touch you and we don't say thank you enough. That's why we want to thank you. Thank you for trusting us year after year. Thank you for making us the accomplices of your daily life. Because buying a car is the second most important purchase in your life after a home.

At Arnold, cars are a real passion, which from generation to generation has adapted to offer a shopping experience that stands out. For us, it's important to be able to share it. Because here, cars are first and foremost a family affair!

But First We Would Like to Tell Our Story

ARNOLD was founded in 1979 on St-Dominique street in Jonquière by our father, Mr. Gilles-Arnold Tremblay, who had been in the automotive business since 1966. Our father was a businessman who possessed a strong personality, he was a hard worker and a team man, visionary manager, our father has managed to grow his organization, despite strong competition.

In 1992, Arnold became one of the largest car dealerships in the region. Our father managed the feat of investing $2 million in the midst of the economic crisis, in the construction of a new building of 25,000 square feet on Highway 170 still in Jonquière.

In 2007, Gilles Arnold, gave us the lead of his company. The dealership had almost 60 employees who watched us grow up.

Maxime, the big brother, was the first to take up the torch in 1990 and his sister, Valerie joined him in 1993. We would be led to think that only Maxime is passionate of vehicles ... but, rest assured, Valerie is just as passionate.

In 2018, William, Maxime's boy and grandson of Gille Arnold, joined the team eager to continue the passionate lineage.

It is therefore, on a solid foundation, that Gilles Arnold's new generation took on their new role. Since their arrival, investments of over $750,000 have provided a renewed image and superior services. Continuing the tradition of excellence in the automobile sector at 2595, rue Godbout Saguenay.

The dealership offers 1,200 new and used cars per year. With the largest showroom in Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean. We have the model that meets your needs.

Internet has transformed consumer habits, especially in our industry. But how do we maintain close relationships with our customers while adapting to the market? That's Arnold's challenge. We want to continue to provide our customers a differentiating experience and continue the tradition of automotive excellence that our father has created.

Thank you, we are looking forward to helping you,

Maxime and Valérie
