Ford KA 2012

Arrived to the garage late today after being to a few other places who refused to help me without even looking. Chanced my arm in Malahide autos and the guy was so nice and helped me straight away, fixed the problem and gave me great advice also, other places tried to send me to a dealership etc. Delighted with this place and will definitely go there in future! Thanks again guys !

Booked car in for a service (a 2011 Toyota Auris). Friendly staff working phone/desk. Cost of service was reasonable ~€200 and quality of the service from a diagnostic perspective was good. Multiple issues were identified including: - Spark plugs needed replacing - Front/rear brake discs/pads and brake fluid needed replacing - Water pump was leaking and needed replacement - Front and rear wipers due replacement - Advised replacing battery as was “incorrect battery for car and loose fitting” - New pollen filter I was quoted €2040 for above work. I Went to another mechanic for second opinion who couldn’t believe the price quoted. Got all of the above done for €950 and the loose battery was easily secured without needing replacement. Overall extortionate pricing and short-sighted given word of mouth spreads fast.

I brought my 2008 Audi A3 Cabriolet to this garage because the tailgate and some of the doors were not locking automatically. The car had no other issues when I left it with them. What happened afterwards was extremely disappointing: • The driver-side door loom/connector was damaged, even though it was working before their inspection. • The tailgate wiring was left hanging outside, with one cable completely broken. • Because of this, the car later triggered a fault when trying to operate the convertible roof, something that had never happened before. • They also tried to return the car with a broken window mechanism, and only after insisting did they put it back together. • I was charged €272, yet the original issue was not fixed, and the car was returned in worse condition than when I brought it in. • I was quoted €1,100 for a tailgate repair — far above normal market rates. When I declined, the car was simply left partially disassembled. • When I asked for a refund due to the additional damage, I was ignored completely. I expected professional workmanship and basic responsibility. Instead, my car came back with new faults, broken wiring and more problems than it arrived with. They didn’t just fail to fix the issue — they left my vehicle in a condition no customer should ever receive. They practically ruined my car. Don’t go there. Never ever
