Being a young woman going to a mechanic when you know nothing about cars is a daunting experience…read more(coming from someone who was charged €80 for tracking elsewhere lol)- especially when you don't have a dad locally. But Richard was the loveliest man- so down to earth. Explained my different options to me and it was clear that he has good intentions and isn't there to overcharge. I had another friend go to him and have a similar experience. Quick and friendly service with great prices. Ann on reception was also very helpful.

What do you want from a garage/mechanic?…read more At the end of the day most of us know nothing about cars and blindly trust the experts. From the second you rock into Sean Hanleys old school set-up and are greeted by Anne you know you've come to the right place. Why? Because you can trust them. They do a great job, don't charge an arm and a leg and don't try and give you the run around. Have used them for three different model of cars, have always been happy with the end product and see no reason to go anywhere else.

O'CALLAGHAN'S GARAGE O'Callaghan's Garage on the Ballyhooley…read moreRoad is a favourite stop for people living in the area or indeed for many passing through. And not just for the fuel and the usual services such as the car wash. Here you can get just about everything you want. The shop is very well stocked indeed with groceries but and they carry some unexpected items (coal, paints, tools, plants) and also respond to seasonal needs. It is like one of the old fashioned one-stop country stores transplanted to the suburbs. Into DIY? Then go out to the yard and you can get stone for your drive, cement and sand for your foundations, kerbs, garden edgings and more. And if Finbarr isn't there to give you advice, there is always help available from his multi-national staff. All in all, it is a most unusual store but a very popular one indeed. see also: http://corkandabout.blogspot.com/

We had a tire blow out on our rental car and as you can guess they now come without a spare tire…read more It was Friday after normal hours and as soon as I called, the owner verified he had a tire, sent a truck to pick up the car and arranged a taxi for my wife, brother and sister in law to take them to our hotel. By the time the car, truck driver and I arrived at the shop, the owner, new tire and all equipment were waiting. They had me back on the road in 15 minutes! Extremely polite, efficient and I highly recommend this local business!

Got a roofing nail in our rental car tire. Called road side assist and they said put the spare on…read moreand drive to a repair shop and they would reimburse for the charge. As luck would have it a very nice older gentleman happen to see me putting on the spare and stopped to chat. He said that was the second one he'd seen that morning. He said there were two tyre shops in Kinsale but one was closed for the week. He suggested Dempsey's. The shop was easy to find and right on the main road out of Kinsale. We were in and out in what honestly felt like 10 minutes and the charge was small enough I didn't even bother to ask for a receipt to give the rental company. Dan was great too. Asked where we were headed and gave us tips on where to go and what to avoid. If you're in the Kinsale area and have car trouble absolutely give Dempsey's your business.
