    Hi All,
    I know you guys/gals are asked this probally a lot but I believe in word of mouth, so hence I ask.

    Does anyone know of a good valeting service in Dub south? I'm actually on Sandyford Road and have already got a quote of Eur150 from a local garage....

    It's an 04 Polo Comfort 5dr.

    TIA,
    Joe

    Depends on what you want done, but I have used Ever Ready for a few cars in Donnybrook and their bodywork wax/buffing is very good. If a little pricey. Exterior is €115 the full monty is over €200

    Hi All,
    Many thanks for all the replies. At the least, I now know that prices go from Eur100-200.

    Reason - I'm selling my car.... 04 WH Polo Confortline, 12,000 on the clock. Need to get good money for it.

    Is it very dirty - inside, yes.

    Rgds,
    Joe

    You heard OR you know?

    Because from looking at their prices, they're cheaper than Ever Ready in Donnybrook and more professional from my experiences with them.

    The type of cars waiting to be cleaned at Beacon says it all really...

    Well I suppose it depends what your consider professional and a spotless clean..

    They seem to be as competitive as anywhere.. As I've already said, Ever Ready, Crystal Clean charge a minimum of €55 on a Saturday in their washes in the main city centre car parks..

    If you're comparing Beacon to some dodgy fella with a bottle of Fairy Liquid, a sponge and some tyre dressing he bought in Halfords then it's a bit different and of course his prices will be cheaper!!

    the guy i get mine done from doesnot use fairy as i wouldnot go to him then.i have a brand new car and wasnt to keep it clean.if you pay full wack then he can use meguiar stuff.he gets some amazing cars for valet eg maybach,s class and even bmw and more.so he is good.anyway its your own choice where you go to get it done

    Indeed it is, but it's also a bit uncalled for for you to be posting inaccurate information about a company too.

    Beacon are in fact as competitive as anyone else out there with specially built premises, comprehensive insurance and all the other things the big valet companies in Dublin have.

    I've had the car valeted 3 times in the 2 years that I've owned it, last time was september and I used Beacon all I can say is that they did an absolutely outstanding Job with the manager inspecting everything (I was a little early but took the opportunity to go ogle all the cars there, lambos, ferraris, astons) and getting the guys to do it again, when you see someone with an ear bud polishing the air vents in your dash it's a good job, the car came back to me like new well worth the €200+ I spent on it, carpets were washed back to new, seatbelts were washed, car shone like a showroom model, nobody I've used had done a job like it. Ever ready in Donnybrook do look good but I bring the car to them every second week and get the wash and vacuum €25 which isn't bad.

    There is a new place just opened on the Grand Canal between Harold's Cross and Dolphin's Barn. They are in the old Shell garage. I stopped in for a car wash yesterday which was fine. I got a full price list for Valeting, but I left it in the car and it's late and I'm lazy.

    I've had a few valets done on my car.

    One guy up at the back of ranelagh, €180 gave me floor mats and did an excellent job, still have his number somewhere.

    Beacon - €250 - pristine, excellent attention to detail and well well worth the money.

    MCV.ie had these down last week €150 - not good at all, white wax marks in a few spots, missed the cup holders (ie there was still coffee stains) and didn't do any of the vents in the car (there's lots) generally nowhere near as good as beacon.

    If you want a top quality job done go to beacon.
