Funny I was only asking that 20 mins ago - all the cars seem to be locked in the back but didn't look as though it had been open recently

Yeah its gone and I only bought a car there about 3 weeks ago and I was given a 3 month warranty. The bloody battery has died and I'm going to be out of pocket to buy one myself!:mad:

I think they were part of Wilton Motors, It might be worthwhile checking it out.

They weren't part of Wilton motors. They were an independent garage and unfortunately the recession just got it's wicked way with them.

It became an Audi Garage. Audi are investing serious money in their sales facilities in Ireland (for some reason) so maybe they are rebuilding the garage. Irelands largest Audi dealership just opened in Waterford i think.

You may find that the warranty is still ok - most dealers warranties are insurance products so check the small print or liquidator (should be a notice on the door) - fingers crossed

Yeah they had a number up on the door, but when I called that number it only lead to an answering machine telling you to pick 1,2,3 or 0 and no-one answered when you choose one of the options. I just ended up buying the battery myself yesterday. Fingers crossed nothing else will go wrong with her!

Thought I'd let ye know that the car broke down again last saturday, brought it to another garage and they just told me that it should have never been sold as it is not road worthy and that I have to scrap it. I am after losing E2,750 on the car alone and I was wondering if anyone knew if I could try and get some of the money back afterall it was given to me with 3 month warranty. And as I am a student I have no income and can't get another car. :mad:
