    You could try Browne Motors at The Square in Tallaght - not too far from Clondalkin. 01 460 7000. I've used them before and find them quite good.

    What he means is - you've a full keyboard in front of you so use it. No need for text speak.

    Sorry to cut in here OP, but i have a question relating to the topic and i dont want to create a new thread!

    I need to find a somewhere that will repair my ford fiesta (the front left inside rim is dented). I live in shankill, so anywhere between blackrock and bray i can go.

    Also, does anyone know what i might be expected to pay, as i dont want to be ripped off...

    If it's steel, it can either be straightened roughly by a tyre centre which sometimes is enough if not, any scrapyard should have one- ring around.

    If it's an alloy and it's not very bad or split, it should be straightenable by a specialist engineering company (but you're probably better off starting a new thread to find a decent place). If it's cracked, sometimes they are repairable but often, they're not.

    I had an 18" alloy welded for €80. My brother had an alloy straightened for €60. To replace it with a new one could cost up to a couple of hundred or you could try a specialist Ford breakers in the UK whichh might cost €100ish shipped. Maybe a new tyre is needed also- less than €100 but it's important to make sure there's no suspension damage also.
