Garage open on a Saturday near Blanchardstown?

The Big Red Button

Does anyone know of anywhere near Blanchardstown that'll change tyres on a Saturday, and won't totally rip me off?

I'm not from the area, but my car is currently stranded there until I get a couple of tyres replaced.

Thanks!!

Discount Tyres in Ballycoolin - http://www.discounttyres.ie/

I've used both companies on multiple occasions over the years with good results, their prices are pretty reasonable in my experience. They also open Saturdays.

My Dad used http://www.atlasautoservice.ie/ in Coolmine very recently and was impressed by the price and service.

Dave McCann is pretty good (recommended on the Motors forum), but from experience it's very busy on Saturdays. I'd either go early or make an appointment if you can.

Agreed, they're all busy on Saturdays, I spend an hour and a half in Atlas 2 weeks ago waiting for wheel alignment to be completed. Early is definitely better...

Another vote for Discount Tyres, have used them for years. Open all day Saturdays now.

They are all busy.


Discount Tyres gets my vote.

Don't accept any cheap crud you've never heard of either.

I went here based on recommendations on Motors and ended up with 2 ditch finders ("Event" tyres) that despite my hesitation was assured would be fine.
I was stuck on the day so against my better judgement agreed to them.

Well driving on them was an "Event" alright. Any bit of moisture on the road and the traction control light started flashing like mad

Wasn't cheap either at €85 a corner for 16". As someone else said, just don't accept something you never heard of - or have your phone so you can Google reviews etc

Just my 2c anyway

Hmm, that's pretty poor. Did you return them?

My own tyres are only 14", and the last time I changed them there was only about €15 difference between the cheapest ditchfinders and the best branded ones, a no-brainer.

I found the last time I went looking for 14" I struggle to find anywhere that anything other than chinese ditch finders in stock. I got KUMHO from Discount types and these were much better than the chinese ones I had previously. Much better choice in larger sizes. A lot of the tyre dealers weren't that interested in offering a tyre that you could find a decent review of online. Only about a fifth of them I tried had decent reviewed tyres in stock. Most had no name tyres they were pushing. A lot didn't know if they were all season, summer or winter tyres either. Many saying they were all season when they were summer with poor winter rating reviews. Which partly explains why the city slows to crawl in bad weather.
