After a pretty shocking experience with Foster motor company service dept (http://www.yelp.ie/biz/foster-motor-company-sandyford#hrid:Gz-3i9AhYktLO7vpeT4aiw/src:self )I came back to the guys in Ailesbury to see what they could do, yet again they went over and above the call of duty and saved me a small fortune (355Euro to be precise) and are really very pleasant to deal with. No need to go into huge detail - if you read my foster review you'll get the general idea. Highly recommended.

We've all dreamt about it : a mechanic whom you can trust, whom you expect to spot probs with your…read morecar and fix them properly without ripping you off. Let me introduce you to Stephen, who was recommended to me by a friend who used him for his commercial fleet. Too bad I got to use Atlas in Finglas first (see that review...quite an epic story) but at least Stephen's trustworthiness and professionalism was tested then because he advised me to go back to Atlas to get my exhaust fixed as it should be, he ended up doing it himself as the 2nd fix I had from Atlas wouldn't have lasted 6 months, and he offered even to go there himself, seeing they were so bad with me. The great thing about Stephen is that he will offer you the service you want : on the cheap, if there is a cheaper option like swapping parts or getting a decent 2nd hand or doing the most urgent things first and get the rest later, he ll be a very good advisor of this, and if you want, like me, to be told that there might be something dodgy here and there that he d like to have a look because I wouldn't notice stuff before its too late, he can do that too. Long working hours yet never short of a nice talk with you. The only nasty thing about his garage are the 3 mean ramps, do not attempt to go on them beyond 10km/h lol. Very highly recommended, someone who cares about your car, your safety and a 50/50 win.

This is my second time dealing with Sweeneys Garage on Bridgefoot st. Their treatment of me is exceptional. Ash assessed my problem , and offered to drop me home while the car was repaired. This in itself was incredibly kind. Before he did so he tried something , and fixed it completely , within minutes....and get this, no charge! I actually cried. It is hard moving through this world with a disability, but kindness like this is rare and valuable. I will be recommending Sweeneys garage to all. I finally have a garage I can trust! Thank you Ash !

Really great experience here today. While changing a wheel yesterday the car came down off the jack…read morebefore I had the new wheel fully on. The crunch sounded really nasty and I was left with a grating and scraping sound while driving. Down to Dorset Expert Garage the next morning and inside of 15 minutes they had the wheel off, diagnosed and fixed the problem, and wheel back on ready to hit the road. What was them even more outstanding was that they would accept no payment for their expert work (which I highly valued).

I was just thinking about my experience with Baldoyle Auto Centre, and decided to write a review…read more I am from the USA (San Francisco) where auto repair can be rather, shall we say, predatory. Not in all cases, but in more than half, you're going to get gutted. Imagine my trepidation on moving to Ireland, buying a used VW Polo and having a loud BANG emminate from the engine compartment, followed by the smell of burning rubber. I'm in country 3 weeks. Don't know Polos ("3 cylinders? You're kidding!"), don't know ANY auto repair I can trust. Well, I had hired a carpenter who lived in Howth (near Baldoyle) all his life. He recommended Baldoyle Auto Centre. So I limped over there and threw myself on the mercy of the owner. I noticed his shop was clean and well-lighted. His workers were all very focused. No cigarettes. No shaved heads. No track suits. Hmmmm. The owner made a lot of eye contact in a way that led me to trust him. Sincerity is detectable. He said he could look at the car in a few days. He gave it a going over to make sure it was safe, then turned me loose. The problem was likely a broken spring. The car handled ok. The burning rubber smell was the serpentine belt, which had been crudely manhandled onto the car by a previous mechanic, damaging it. I returned in three days, the car was surrendered and I was kept abreast of the findings in the shop as work progressed. No unpleasant surprises. Broken spring. (replaced both sides at the same time. Minimal cost). Upper strut mount mangled, which caused the spring failure. Cheap fix. A bushing on the opposite side of the car required replacement. OK. Do it. And throw in a set of hubcaps because on Ireland's narrow roads, I had beaten the set on the car up pretty badly. Total cost: 400 euro. The car drives like new and the hubcaps helped with the cosmetics. Further, I was told that all the things that likely go wrong with Polos had now been fixed on this car, giving me peace of mind for the foreseeable future. It is so difficult to find trustworthy auto repair facilities, so when you find one, you want to share it with your friends, and that's what I'm doing here and on the streets. I later became aware of the amazing story of how Baldoyle Auto Centre came into being, but that's another subject. You can trust these people implicitly. What's THAT worth to you?
