Scott's Garage
(3 reviews)
I'm going to sound like a complete Daddy's girl today (which isn't too far wrong to be honest...),…read morebut my dad has been impressed with Johnathan Scott since going to him with car problems three or four years ago. And he's never looked back... Scott's Garage was initially based on the Ballyregan Road, which was handy enough for us being less than ten minutes down the road. My dad took both his car and my mum's for MOT prep, for repair when he had a couple of accidents, and just general look-overs. Johnathan would always give my dad a lift home before starting work on the car, which was really lovely of him, and meant by dad didn't have to use public transport (it's been a while), or get a lift. Last year (I think...these years start to roll into one after a while), Johnathan opened up a new garage in Carrowreagh Business Park, allowing him to expand his business, and still provide the same great service. My dad has never had a complaint about him, he works incredibly hard, and offers his services are incredibly decent prices. What more could you want?!
I recently had my BMW 1-Series serviced at a garage in Bangor, the follow up report suggested that…read morethe engine had " Excessive play in the timing change", although no symptoms or diagnostics supported this report. But this could be catastrophic, if the timing chain jumps on the cogs or the actually brakes while the engine is at high revs. The garage gave me an estimated cost to replace the chain to be over £500.00. I was obviously concerned, but because I had doubts about this report I decided to get a second opinion from Johnny at Scott's Garage. Johnny took the time to do a thorough inspection of the engine, run complete computer diagnostic report, and a test drive. His conclusion was the timing chain appears to be serviceable and of no concern at this time. Johnny a competent and experienced engineer, who at short notice gave me his valuable time and honest opinion. What more do you want from your garage? I will certainly be using Scott's Garage at Dundonald for all my car repairs and servicing requirements in the future. Thank you. John Dawber Bangor Co.Down.

Gilnahirk Tyres & Exhausts
(9 reviews)
So I've got my dreaded MOT coming up and I thought I better get someone to have a quick check over…read moremy car before I put it through. After some research (on Yelp of course) I headed to Gilnahirk Tyres, even though it was on the other side of town from where I lived. I initially called to see what their prices were like and was told it was going to be £20 for a quick check over - I was happy enough with that as I didn't think much needed done. I arrived at 8:20am and it was absolutely rammed, must have been 5 cars queued in front of me - I was actually quite hesitant about going ahead with the service but I popped in to the reception and spoke to Billy and he said Bay 2 would be free in a few minutes! After that it was all straight forward - the car was in for a check over. The mechanic came out and told me I needed two new tyres so I went ahead and got them. £40 per tyre seemed ok with me. I was expecting to pay £100 - £20 for the service and £80 for both new tyres but to my surprise they only charged me £80 as the service was free if any extra work needed completing! This is genius and a lovely surprise. I was home by 9:15 am! The service was great. It may look chaotic but they know exactly what they are doing! They even offer an MOT service where they take your car to the centre for you while you're at work! Easy five stars!
The time I went to Gillnahirk to get new tyres for my beloved first car (which was a Suzuki Swift…read moreaffectionately known as Swifty to all who encountered it!) I had a pleasant and professional experience. I prearranged a time to come down to their garages to get them sorted, which was a painless process. There are about 4 different ramp areas so in busy times you should be able to get serviced efficiently. I was able to get 4 brand new tyres for £90 which was very reasonable. They performed their ask very fast, and I was in and out of the place in about five minutes, I felt like I was in some sort of formula one pit stop! The garage will take payments via both card and cash for when you are short on immediate funds! I have never had to have my exhaust serviced by them, but I am sure that if their tyre service is anything to go by it would be a quick and reasonably priced service!
Glengormley Car Care
The WORST. These…read moreguys replaced my handbrake cable. The next day, it snapped, and was hanging from the car, dragging along the road. They took a fair bit of convincing to accept that they had to fix it, even after seeing the cable hanging down. Everyone makes mistakes, but the thing is: there are PROCEDURES to avoid making mistakes, when it comes to maintaining your car properly, protecting lives etc.: guidelines on how much to tighten things, crazy notions about having senior people checking what junior employees do, etc. These guys obviously don't follow any such procedures. Avoid at all costs.
I have been dealing with Glengormley Car Care for 14 years now, since I first moved to the area…read more They were recommended by a neighbour who had also been having his car repaired there for several years. In that time I have always dealt directly with Lawrence or John but find the rest of the staff very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Where any work has been required outside of my normal annual service & MOT check, I am always informed (accurately) of the cost and asked to authorise before the work is undertaken. The number of cars etc. which are lined up outside awaiting work every time I visit is a testament to the popularity of this business in the local area From my experiences I have had no hesitation in recommending these guys to several of my friends, colleagues and family - who have all reported that they are pleased with the proffesional, efficient service they have received

The guys who came up with this idea are absolute geniuses, no, its not a place where your car can…read morekeep fit, well actually it sort of is, let me explain; The Motor Gym is a new concept thought up by 3 local entrepreneurs, basically they provide a safe and professional space for amateur car enthusiasts to work on their vehicles, it is just a garage without the mechanics. The customer hires out space and then is free to use the Motor Gyms tools and equipment to fix up their motorbike or car. The Motor Gym offer membership schemes for renting out the bays and equipment so you can save yourself even more money. The best thing about this place is that if you fancy yourself as a bit of a Phil or Grant Mitchell in their mechanic days you can pop down here and work on your car in relative safety instead of working in your driveway or garage and causing general annoyance to your neighbours. Also if you do not fancy doing the work yourself but like the space and the work the guys at the Motor Gym do then you can pay them to fix your vehicle. The Motor Gym is open 7 days a week and I think is an absolutely amazing idea that is sure to catch on.
Left my car in today to get an oil leak fixed. But they're didn't fix it. Wait!! Why not?!…read more They didn't fix it because it's the cam seals (whatever they are) that are leaking. And it's a big job to fix. At least £350. So, why didn't they fix it? After phoning me and explaining, they recommended that, if I can persevere until the timing belt needs changed then it would be better to do the two jobs at once. I appreciated their honesty. They could have easily told me it needed sorted right now, and then I'd need a timing belt at another time. I know nothing about cars other than that they cost money!! So, I'd recommend them simply and purely for their honesty. They did not charge a penny for looking and finding the leak either! A thumbs up from me

My dad is a builder but he also sells cars in his part time because he has an interest in them and loves cash! He does a lot of inter seller trade, picking up bargains to work on and sell at a profit, and we have been able to do a few deals with this place! They have a good selection of used cars, starting from bargain purchases of £500 to higher quality used vehicles ranging up to about £8000.They have a good selection and the staff are ready to engage in a bit of bartering, which is always good in this modern day and age! I haven't sampled their repairs part of the business, but it is a reassuring feature if you were buying a car for personal use from them! The only negative I have about is the lack of parking space around the garage. There is room for a maximum 0f about 4 car spaces out front, so be prepared to park in Moneyreagh and walk down!

Today took the car in as it was misbehaving on cold starts, they gave it a through check over testing all kinds of things that are way beyond my knowledge or understanding of cars but delivered the bad news that it was going to be a big and expensive job to repair. Doesn't need to be done immediately so went and collected the car fully expecting to pay for the tome they spent looking at it and was handed the keys and told to go think about what I wanted to do...no charge! Think they may have felt sorry for me. Previous work has always been done to a high standard so will definitely be back just perhaps not with my current car
