Hi - do you have contact details for Liam, need to get a longlife service on an A4.

PM if needed as I think mobiles can't be posted.

Thanks a million.

They fixed up my old car nice and handy after I banged it up in a minor scuffle with a bigger car.. but they went pretty downhill on me when I wanted to get another part fixed after I broke the mirror when passing a car with his full lights on. They never called me back.. and gave me the runaround for a few months. The guy that did the repair work the first time wasnt with them anymore.. so I dont know what the story was. I'd give them the benifit of doubt though, the repair-work they did for me was top-notch and cheaper than any other place out there.

I'd also give a strong recommendation to Pat Goff beside Havenwood.

Damien Carew is a great mechanic, he doesnt advertise and hes always out the door, hes down by witches lane.

Oh let me write this correctly before the PC brigade get me.

Eh he doesnt advertise and is out the door because or his good work it travels by word of mouth, thats what i meant by he doesnt advertise.

I saw another poster mentioned him here and went to him so they were happy enough, so was I

What type of Older Car ?

Great local (Waterford) outfit who will take on an older car.
As you probably know, most garages don't want to know, if it doesn't connect to their diagnostic machine!!

Ask for Noel, (joint owner) or Bill, newish good mech who loves older stuff.
Noel used to trade under the name of Nokad (I think) and has a very good name among BMW folk

I had my 23yr old BMW with them last year, and they also gave me good advice on another old car I own.

Can you substantiate the above comment! I bet you can't!

Bet that Revenue will be looking up all the people listed.

O' Shea Brothers, Tramore, top class trained by their late father Ned, who was not just a mechanic but a top class Motor Engineer.

if you drive an audi, i highly recommend goin to audi waterford, not only does your car get serviced it gets valeted, you get either a courtesy car or lift to destination of your choice and picked up again when car is done, you also get a years free audi roadside assist and servicing starts at €158. i had to get my clutch,master and slave cylinders and clutch pipe replaced while back, they gave me 2011 audi a3 for the week they had it waiting on all the parts and they did it all for €610

I think this is all pretty standard now. I always go to volkswagen purely for resale reasons, but anyway they drop you home collect you clean your car etc etc they also gave me free aa roadside assistance or vw roadside assistance as part of my last service deal, I wouldnt be singing from the roof tops about that though, they shoul be paying you after all they insure your business by picking up your damaged car, still it wud be the same with other garages except you may have to pay for your broken down car to ge brought to them soi suppose its better than paying but you will pay main dealers prices.

i don't know about vw but audi compliment you on any repairs ya need done out there once you get your car serviced with them, for instants the clutch was costing 1200 before they knocked off the saving they were giving me plus i had a car for a week so in reality i did in fact save money, if i were to have gone to a mechanic it would have been more than 1200 as i need a car to get to work as i do very unsocialable hours and there aint any public transport that passes our depot
