Deane Motors

I bought my first Classic Pajero from Simon recently. From my first interaction with Simon to delivery I had a very pleasant experience. When viewing the vehicle, I took my time and Simon let me take as long as I wanted and he was there in the background to answer any questions I had. I felt very comfortable throughout the viewing. Due to my personal circumstances, the purchase took a little longer than usual, and Simon was very understanding about this. I came away with a beautiful Pajero and felt confident and extremely happy with my purchase. I can’t speak highly enough of Simon and his team. Finally I’d just like to say, I’m not a collector or dealer, I just turned 50 and decided to treat myself, so if you are thinking of your first classic car, I can highly recommend Deane Motors and Simon.

Simon is an absolute gent, I was stuck for a way to get out to the dealership and he picked me up from Dublin City centre (now that was him being sound, don’t expect him to do that for you too!) but the whole way out I got to learn alot about life and business from him! A very genuine man, absolutely does not fit the stereotype of a sleazy salesman trying to rip you off! He’s genuinely prioritising a great customer experience for you over squeezing any bit of extra cash out of you! They’ve a serious collection of motors on offer there too! I highly highly recommend 🫡

I recently sold my Ferrari thru Simon and I was truely impressed. Simon was very professional and kept me updated thru out the sale process. Everything on the sale was transparent and there were no hassles. All payments to me were made promptly. Thanks very much Simon and all the best in your business. Kind Regards Anba S

I’ve bought already 3 cars from Simon and Simon - such a stunning selection of cars for nearly any budget, and more importantly amazing after sale customer care. All 3 cars were in great condition with low mileage, ready to go to any car show. The latest one - Mercedes w201 has only 78k km (less than 50k miles!) in its 34 years, what a find by Simon and team! I had a small mechanical issue with one of the cars after the purchase - we arranged a repair and I was immediately provided with a replacement car (a wonderful experience on its own - a powerful beast with 250 bhp!). Was receiving updates on the repair and timing along the way in text messages, which was really nice. Always feeling welcomed and respected even buying comparatively cheaper cars. I could really feel their love to cars, knowledge and professionalism. I will for sure be back again and trade in for the next car!

Simon Deane is a cowboy . i sent my car to him for storage which he took home without my permission. The car was subsequently stolen from his home address that evening. Simon didn’t have the backbone to be honest about the situation from the get go. A spineless weasel of a man. Having followed Simon for years on social media, I assumed my car was in good hands. How wrong I was. Be very careful doing business with this 🤡 Was particularly happy to hear his business went up in flames a few weeks later. Shame for the other companies but couldn’t have happened to a nicer bloke. Edited to reply to your comment on 6/3/25 Good morning Simon, My review struck a nerve it seems. You are in no position to preach ethics to me in any way. You lied, tried to cover up the truth on multiple occasions and gave a totally different story to your insurance company. Sit down. Your nothing more than a liar. Bizarre you question my character when you shafted a man who’s wife is terminally ill. You blocked me from social media as I made one comment on your post. Seems you don’t like being called out. Again my comment about your being spineless and a weasel of a man rings through. You make it sound like the car was stolen from your premises when in fact you took it to your home address without permission. A car that had no NCT, Tax and had not been on the road in over 4 years and needed recommissioning. Totally disrespectful and unacceptable Again, you simply have an inability to be truthful. My brother was the one who told me at 2pm in the afternoon that the car was stolen, many hours later. You did not have the backbone to ring me in person and tried covering your tracks and finding the car before you mentioned anything. This is indisputable. You are right I sought compensation which is not something you were going to offer. My car went to you in perfect condition as shown by the picture below and was and damaged due to your stupidity and negligence. Even with the repairs, this has hurt the value of my car. Of course I wanted compensation for this. You offered a years free storage and I declined but had requested €1000 that I could store the car somewhere else for a year. This €1000 wasn’t a figure pulled from the sky, this is what it would have cost me to store the car with you for a year, a very fair request. You forgot to mention that. At no point was I out to gouge you, something I told you on the phone. You should have manned up and offered compensation as it was the right thing to do. But again, no backbone. Having just paid the bill on my car as the repairs have just been completed, I am out of pocket by over €1300. Your insurance did not cover the full amount of repairs. I want this repaid. Why would I have let you fix the car? I’ll remind you that your workshop caused an inferno which damaged many peoples cars. I had zero confidence in your storage or workshop abilities like many other customers at that point. Thanks for the invitation to call in and I will do just that next week when I am home. Have a great day and try not to shaft any more of your customers. Lee
