    Ok so My dear ol car is due for a service...Anywhere around the blanch or tallaght areas where i can get it serviced quickly, cheaply and done properly?

    Second: Tyres, Noticed uneven tyre wear and a bit of a shake in around 120km/h pointing out that tracking and balance is gone. Where can i get it fixed and tyres replaced...again cheap,quick and good... Would garages stock specific tyres? Not sure of details but they're good and came with the car, plenty of grip so want to keep on with them...

    All suggestions are welcome.

    *edit*
    2006 Nissan Almera 16inch 195 tires. Come stock with the alloys i think because was bought out of a garage....

    How ya doin mate not sur about the service got mine done up in greenhills thats not the actual name of the garage but the fella that did my service was very dodge all service was done OK but havnt cecked the oil in the car yet, i asked him to align the wheels and the car has never pulled so far to the left so i dont think i could get it done by garage would go to a proper tyre and wheel specialist. I have been down to sandyford industrial estate there is a tyre place down there cant think of the name for the life of me but aparantly they spent something like 80k on a lazer wheel alignment machine or something very fancy anyway. Also i think it was around 80 euro for alignment and they have a good amount of tyres for selection but if you really want the tyre that are on the car try looking for them online, you may even find some on ebay if your lucky, but watch out that there not refurbs.

    I bought four tyres last week in Fastfit Coolmine. They are Dunlop 205/55/16 size and cost me 400 euros to have wheels balanced and tyres fitted.

    So i'm after googling a few places there just to compare.. Seems average price is around 220-250euros for tyres and alignment.
    Thanks for all your help.
    @ qballirl: Where abouts im greenhills? i used to live around that part. Be curious to see who it was because my mother had troubles with somebody near there. Done a service on a toyota carina. belts were on the way out and water pump had seized. so he done nothing. sorry for going off topic.
    anyway, for the service i think i may ring up a few legit garages like windsor etc.

    I'd recommend Discount Autos - http://www.dtasvalue.com/

    For both service & tyre advice.

    They're in Blanchardstown, stones throw from Aquatic Centre.

    I'd second Discount Tyres in Rosemount, got a great deal and good service from them before.

    Remember though that you have to factor in the price of fitting and balancing them too. Alot of places are pretty competitive with eirtyres.com these days so best shop around for the best price.

    I bought off eirtyres.com the last time not because they were cheaper but just because they had the brand of tyre I wanted. My local tyre centre were only around €10/€15 euros dearer for another brand in comparison.
