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.

I had an on- going electrical problem with my car for over three years. I had brought it to…read moredifferent garages but they never resolved the issue. Jerry identified the problem and resolved it. He would not let the car leave his garage until he was 100% sure it was resolved. For the amount of time he spent on the car the price was very reasonable considering he had to fix a botched job from another 'Auto electrician'. He is an honest, decent guy, professional, and really good at his job. I would highly recommend.

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!

I recently had my car in for a power steering leak. They checked and confirmed it was coming from 3…read moreareas but fixable, just parts needed to be ordered. Price 500 euro. I agreed and gave the go ahead. Parts arrived and car booked in a second time for a full day to do the job. I got a call later in the day to tell me job complete and fixed. Car can be collected. No leak seals changed job done. I paid remaining balance and when I got home looked under car and frame was still wet and oily. I thought maybe residue from doing the job. Ran it through nct, failed again on leak. Brought car back a 3rd time to be checked. They kept car for the day and was told now leak is coming from somewhere else. May not be fixable. No come back on money paid as leak Also from seals. Bottom line issue not fixed after bei g told it was and out of pocket over 400 euro. Also a scraping noise coming from steering. I think they misdiagnosed the issue and refused to offer any further help after I had paid. Leak as bad as ever after job was done and a new scraping noise on my 3rd visit. I have since had leak fixed by another mechanic who I wish I had taken it to first day. Passed nct just had to pay a second mechanic again to fix issue. I get power steering leaks or any leaks can be tricky. Just don't tell a customer it's fixed when it clearly isn't, charge them and then refuse any refund or comeback on money they paid for something that's not fixed.

Do not get a puncture repaired unless you are present. They fitted a punctured tyre to my car after…read moreI left it for repair. Worse was they filled it with air and offered to fitted it knowing that they had not repaired it. I left premises with what I thought was repaired tyre and had to change it for spare on motorway later. Mad.

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 are visiting this week from the United States and set out for a major adventure yesterday to…read moreclimb the highest peak in Ireland. Unfortunately, we were hugging the left side of the road so much to avoid oncoming traffic that we hit a sharp Rock and destroyed our tire. We quickly changed over to the spare tire and were still able to climb our mountain. This morning, we woke up knowing that we would have to get the tire repaired but didn't know where to go. Several people recommended this place and we are sure glad that we found it. Immediately after we pulled in the repair man walked over to our car and assessed the situation. Our tire was not just punctured but torn to shreds. He took it back into the shop and within seven minutes had a new tire on the car and had us on our way! We couldn't believe it! He also was thoughtful enough to encourage us to save the receipt for insurance reimbursement. Thank you Tyre Stop!
