Anyone hear of Easy Autos in Santry?

    Does anyone have any experience with Easy Autos in Santry? They have a lot of Japanese imported Priuses but what I like about them is they have removed all the Japanese and replaced them with original Toyota screens in English, so none of the issues with the Japanese language on the screens or cluster. I see no mention of them here. I had a bad experience with another Dublin garage recently that took my deposit and ran, so I am more cautious about dealers now, even before I take the car itself.

    Ask for Des, they are a very decent dealer and will look after you if after you’ve driven away and a problem arises.

    Thank Mintoe for the feedback. They seem to have great stock but I haven't seen any reviews so it's great to get your feedback on them.

    I ended up buying a 2013 Prius from Easy Autos. They have more imported Prius stock than I've ever seen. Des really is a pleasure to deal with and they have the professionalism and cleanliness that you expect from an official Toyota dealership but don't expect from an independent dealer. They're going to fit it with a new custom fitted touchscreen system with bluetooth and Irish sat nav which looks like the original Irish systems. Another guy had bought a similar Prius and he was collecting it so I got to see the whole English system they install and it looks amazing. No other dealers are doing that with imports. They automatically took a thousand off the advertised price which was 10,950 and it was reduced to 9,950 without any negotiation. They'll have my 2007 Prius. I'll be collecting it Saturday after the VRT and registration are done. A great experience compared to another dealership which tried to scam the revenue by vrting the car I deposited as private rather than as the dealer, and another which took my deposit and wanted nothing more to do with me. Highly recommended and worth the trip to Dublin! Lots of shady dealers in Dublin, especially in the import business, but these guys are legit. Thanks to Mintoe for the recommendation!

    Thanks to everyone who recommended them here.
    Their reviews on Google maps were also very positive.

    Got a 2013 Prius from them last week and very happy.
    Des is very easy to deal with, can't recommend enough.



    Conversely, I had a €500 deposit on a Prius from another hybrid dealer in North Dublin and they sold it on me the next week and lied to my face about it.
    Maybe because I asked for the chassis number to get the original Japanese auction sheet translated into English from http://japancarhistorycheck.com/ for US$50

    Won't name the hybrid dealership but I wouldn't be in a rush to go back.
