    Can anybody here recommend a place to get my car serviced? I lost faith in my previous garage after they did a pre-NCT test on it and they missed a corroded brake pad on my rear side. So I'm looking for a new place.

    I always found the mechanic in Irishtown very good, Autofix. They give you a great breakdown after the service of what was done and then colour code things that were checked for the next service

    I'd recommend autofix too. They serviced my old car a few times when I lived in KK and they were great.

    Never get a Pre-NCT test. Its a complete waste of money and utter scam.

    Bring your car into the NCT and if it fails get fixed whats written on the sheet and bring it back.

    Once I brought my car to a mechanic in this thread for a Pre-NCT and charged me enough for it, it failed on 9 points a lot of them obvious. Last time I used them.
