Barlo Engineering trading as Clonmel Engineering Works was started by Matt Barlow in 1944 (father of Sean Barlow) .The original premises was in Emmet Street, Clonmel where Market Place Shopping Centre is now located.

The company's first major achievement came in 1948 when we were appointed Main Distributors for David Brown tractors and Claas combine harvesters. This contract meant we were the sole distributors for counties Tipperary, Kilkenny and Waterford for David Brown and Class.

Business kept going from strength to strength during the 1960's and 1970's, and in 1978 , the newly named Barlo Farm Machinery moved it's Clonmel premises to a brand new facility which was opened by Mr Jim Gibbons, the then Minister for Agriculture.

Barlo Farm Machinery served the farming community with great pride from it's 5 branches, namely Clonmel, Kilkenny, Thurles, Tipperary Town and Dungarvan right up to the early 2000's. A new generation of the Barlow family were coming through ,and in 1989 , Barlo Motors was appointed as Main Ford dealer for South Tipperary.  The ' Barlo' name meant a lot to people and it was seen as a great move forward for the area to have Barlo Motors selling Ford cars and commercials. Sadness came in 2002 when Dealer Principal Ray Barlow passed away after a short illness. The company re-grouped and Alan and Ivan Barlow came to the helm and this is still how things are today.

The Barlo motto from the start was ' Treat Your Customer As You Would Like To Be Treated Yourself ' and this has worked well as we still deal with many grandchildren of original customer's back in the 1940's.

I recently bought my new car in Barlo Motors Thurles and I could not have asked for better service, especially from Colin. He was great to offer advice and the price of the car was extremely reasonable compared to other garages. Car came fully cleaned, serviced and with a FULL tank of petrol! I will definitely be recommending Barlo Motors to my friends and family and it will be my first stop when I'm upgrading. Thank you so much Colin and crew, see you again soon!! :)

Bought our new car (new to us) from Colin at barlo motors thurles. I have to say, from first contact to car collection, the process was seamless. Colin is both personable and professional and they went out of their way to make the whole experience hassle free. Colin even sent a quick video update on the car , all shiny and ready for road, the evening before we picked her up. I highly recommend you give Colin a shout if you are in the market for a new car. When I went to test drive the car I was looking at, he even advised some good places to take the car for a full shakedown of the car. Thanks Colin and all in barlo motors, thurles.

The lads at barlo motors Thurles are a pleasure to deal with.  I recently sourced a new car for my grandmother through barlo motors and from the very start James was so easy to deal with. Colin the sales man brought the car up to us and everything was smooth sailing I would highly recommend this great service.

This garage is a dream to deal with, so professional and easy for the customer, just outstanding service. We are delighted with our purchase-cant rate highly enough! Thank you James and Colin

Two weeks estimated time to fit a fuel pump to latest model Ford Transit in 2018, not good enough folks....... I note your response however I phoned Ford Assist who arranged to carry the van to your garage being the nearest to the breakdown point. I was then advised by yourselves that there was a two week estimated time to fix a fuel pump issue with the van, hence my review.
