Super service and great value. Top mechanic that got the job done without it costing a fortune. Also worked out of office hours so that I could have my car for work. read more

The worst service I have experienced in Ireland I visited…read morethis service twice. I have been to other garages before, but I have never experienced such a low level of service anywhere else. I came here for wheel balancing and wheel alignment. After their wheel balancing, the vibration did not improve -- it actually became worse, which already raised serious concerns about the quality of their work. During my first visit for wheel alignment, they only adjusted the rear axle and refused to do the front, claiming the bolts were "seized" and could not be adjusted. Despite this, they charged the full price for the service, even though the job was not fully completed. Since I have technical experience, I personally loosened the front adjustment lock nuts, then returned to them to complete the alignment. On the second visit, they set the alignment angles more or less correctly, but when I drove away, the steering wheel was not centered. I returned immediately, but their response was shocking. Even though the service had already been paid for, they refused to finish the job on the same day. Instead, I was told that in order to center the steering wheel I would need to replace the entire tie rod end, allegedly because the nut was damaged. This was not true. It felt like a convenient excuse to avoid completing work that had already been paid for. The overall experience was so poor that it genuinely felt like déjà vu -- I still cannot believe that such a level of service is possible in a place like this in Ireland. Later, I went to another service, where they had no issues at all: the wheels were rebalanced correctly, and the vibration disappeared completely; the steering wheel was adjusted and centered perfectly, using the same old tie rod end and the same nut. I was clearly told that there were no problems and no parts needed to be replaced. This only confirmed that the explanations given by this service were completely unfounded. My clear recommendation: Avoid this place if you need wheel balancing or wheel alignment. If you have another service even 10-15 km away, go there instead. I cannot comment on their other mechanical work -- perhaps they perform better in other areas. But wheel balancing and wheel alignment here are the worst services I have encountered. If you are not technically experienced and plan to trust the mechanic, this is definitely not the service you are looking for.

First Stop
Simple puncture repair. Went to First Stop as my usual tyre repair shop (Fast Fit) was closed…read more 15 minute wait before they could see to the problem and it cost €15 whereas Fast Fit always charged €10! Needless to say, won't be going back. Staff were polite enough.

There is discolouration, chemical damage (tears in upholstery) and staining on 2 seats in particular. For transparency, I gave them every chance to rectify the situation, today I sought legal advice and found a specialist in professional seat repairs (he was shocked at the damage). I am 62 and the only driver of the car and the car was never owned by anyone else, it is truly minded. Extremely disappointed - my car is in a worse condition now than before the valets. AVOID - POOR VALUE, POOR CARE AND NO RESOLUTION OFFERED. Happy to provide photographs. Aideen Bainton

Brendan Loughman is a pleasure to deal with at Athy Tyre Services…read more The first time I bought tyres from him was about ten years ago and I was surprised that the price was very competitive, the same amount I was used to paying in the UK. Ever since I know that he will be fair, and his advice is always sound. They also do repairs and servicing and there is a motor factors M and L Autoparts on the site as well. One handy specialisation is that they can weld exhausts, even catalytic converters.
