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.

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.

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.

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/

The staff explained everything to me in a language I understood. While I was waiting for my tyres to be fitted I made use of their waiting room. Big comfy sofas, plasma screen and satellite TV. Under the TV screen was another screen linked to a camera in the workshop so I could see my tyres being fitted from the comfort of their waiting room. The waiting room was clean, comfortable and had tea/coffee making facilities + FREE Wi-Fi. I also had my tracking done and the tyre fitter explained to me that not only would it help prolong the life of my new tyres, it'd also help with reducing my fuel consumption. I cannot recommend Bandon Quick fit highly enough. Bandon Quick Fit is located on the irishtown end of the bypass in bandon town.

The two gentlemen who helped us were extremely friendly and had us in and out in less than 30 minutes with a new tire and some recommendations for the area. The price was right and we were able to continue on our way with no problems. I would recommend this place to anyone who has a flat or tire issue in Cork.
