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?

Andy really went above and beyond to sort the tyre out - it's a weird size so not standardly stocked and added to that the puncture repair wasn't straightforward at all. I was really very impressed with his customer service approach - he didn't know me from Adam - literally a walk in - but he immediately put my mind at ease. As someone who has worked in a service focused business for over 40 years I can say that level of naturally brilliant customer service is rare. While I was there sevetal customers came in or called and each time the customer service approach was the same. Now that I know where you are I'll defo be back when I need new tyres etc.

Doh! Anyway, following discussion with a taxi driver (well, they know about driving cars), I pottered along to Phoenix Tyres in the hopes of getting it fixed. It had occurred to me that the treads seemed a bit low but was hoping they weren't too bad. Pitched up and was greeted straight away. There was no wait and one of the guys came and took off the wheel. It was not a pretty sight. I think the guards would have slapped me quite hard if they'd seen the state of it. The baldness may also have explained my interesting wheel spins... A new tyre was definitely required. I have a bit of a fear of being ripped off as a single female but the guys here were great. They listed my options in both brand and price and advantages of one brand over another. When I mentioned that an uncle works in a tyre place at home they suggested Bridgestone because he could easily get me a matching one for the other side if I didn't want to buy it from them. It was fitted in no time. Price? Not quite as cheap as Scully Autocare but reasonable. They have a website at www.alloys.ie and seem to be the people to go to if you drive like me and tend to be attacked by kerbs. Saw another woman pull up with a badly dented alloy while I was there and they were happily setting about fixing it!

Dropped it off asap at Phoenix, nice and friendly and then went on my way by taxi. Dropped back after lunch to be met with the good news that all tyres were fine and the problem was a slight difference in pressure between the two sides. I asked to pay them something for their time but they point blank refused - got to be unusual in these days and times.
