We bought a Volkswagen Beach camper van from Brad O’Donoghue in Blackwater Motors Volkswagen Vans in Cork. The service was excellent from start to finish. Brad was extremely helpful and explained every detail about the van.  We are very pleased with it and extremely satisfied with the service from Blackwater Motors. I would definitely recommend Blackwater Motors Cork. Thanks Brad.

Great customer service. So easy going, professional yet laid back and easy to deal with.. five star

Recently got my new van from Volkswagen Centre in Cork.
I’m from Dublin, but my local Volkswagen dealers weren’t pleasant to deal with, that’s why I went to Cork. Got in contact with sales manager Brad and he was super helpful and responsive from the first moment till the end of the sale. Good communication is the key. Simply can’t recommend him enough. Will definitely come back for an upgrade in another few years.

Whilst on holiday from the UK, when we were visiting Cork, the clutch went on our VW Golf, leaving us unable to get back to our accommodation. We asked to be towed to Blackwater VW Garage where the service we received was excellent. In particular, the support we received from Rebecca O'Donoghue, the Service Adviser, was exceptional, going above and beyond her responsibility to help us out. The work was completed to a high standard, at a fair price and a hire car was arranged quickly to support us to continue our holiday.
We thought the service we received from backwater was superb.

Bought 2 vans here a caddy and crafter  salesman was Cian o Callaghan and have to say he has been excellent from ordering last year to receiving vans has been seamless and very efficient   He clearly enjoys his job and  has a passion for it

Delighted to collect our New 261 Volkswagen R Line T roc from Blackwater Motors Forge Hill. Very professional team and Matt was a pleasure to deal with, very straight forward and excellent communication. Thank you Blackwater Motors Forge Hill & Matt in particular.

I recently purchased a new car and had a fantastic experience thanks to Tadhg. He made the entire process so easy and straightforward, and his patience with all my questions was incredible. A pleasure to deal with from start to finish.

Great experience buying my Tiguan from blackwater motors. Neil was very easy and straight forward to deal with. He was very quick to respond to any questions I had. The bodyshop and valeting team also done a great job on car. Also got a tidy detachable towbar fitted. Overall very happy with my purchase. Highly recommend the team at Blackwater motors.

We bought our car here. The sale was good and painless. However we're not very impressed with the maintenance department. It's all very diy for the customers: book it in yourself using a machine, drive yourself in and out (or pay €50 for a replacement car and pray there's availability), ring them to find out if your car is ready (regardless of requesting a call back through said machine), been told when you ring that "oh yes! it's just being washed, it will be ready just before 6pm" but of course it's not washed and please print the service report yourself at home. Not impressed with "the service".  We went home wondering if anything was actually done to the car.

I am very disappointed with the level of service I have consistently received at Volkswagen Forge Hill Cork. Especially the experience with the service manager Alan O’Shea.

Given the premium pricing, I expect a high standard of care. Unfortunately, this has not been my experience over multiple services. My vehicle is fitted with a tracker, and on several occasions it has shown harsh acceleration and braking while in the dealer’s possession. In addition, the seat, armrest, and steering wheel positions are changed and never returned to how they were found.

Communication has been extremely poor. On multiple occasions, I was told I would receive follow-up calls with further details, yet weeks passed without any response, despite repeated attempts to make contact.

More seriously, on the last two services the oil level was left very low. I had to top it up myself within days of collecting the car. There is no oil leak, as the level has remained stable since topping it up, which raises concerns about the quality of the service carried out.

Alan O’Shea told me directly that he does not want to service my car because it is a Japanese import and modified. I was requesting a routine oil and filter service only, with no software or multimedia updates required. In those circumstances, I cannot understand why the vehicle being a Japanese import or modified should be an issue.

Volkswagen’s own service booking process asks whether a vehicle is modified and makes it clear that any limitation relates to software updates. For a basic oil and filter service, where no software work is involved, there is no clear technical or practical reason for the service to be refused.

In addition, basic service requests are repeatedly ignored. Despite selecting a car wash during online check-in, my car is never washed. I also request extra oil during check-in and am charged for it, yet the extra oil is not left in the car as requested. After this service, I sent three separate emails raising this issue and received no response.

Overall, this experience has fallen well below what I expect from an authorised Volkswagen service centre. As a result, I will be having my vehicle serviced by a Škoda dealer going forward.

I had a great experience buying my new car recently, it was extremely quick and easy but I also felt well looked after and secure in my purchase. Would recommend for anyone buying a used SEAT car.

Fantastic garage with a real personal touch. They sympathised with my situation took my car in diagnosed the problems, explained everything including a video then repaired the issues. Won't be going anywhere else in future.

We visited Camaxx twice in the last week and both times we dealt with Justin. He has to be one of the friendliest car sales people I have ever met. They have a great range of vehicles here and offer a one year warranty. We didn't buy in the end because the cars didn't suit us but the service here is excellent and can't be faulted on the sales side which we all were have experience of. Thanks Justin.

Absolutely excellent service. They sorted out a warranty issue for me on a second hand vehicle, no hesitation.

Top service and would highly recommend. Definitely will be purchasing here again!

Great honest staff and great mechanics.

Unbelievable response they put up to my review!! So once your ripped off, your to move on and just forget..Seriously they need to realise that people dont just move unless they sort out an issue correctly and fairly. They upset so many decent customers that they forget you and once their targets are met, your irrelevant and they move on to the next mug...Don't be that mug because once your stung, it's job done for them..

Bought my new car today in Skibereen, very professional service from Niall. Would highly recommend.

I've had good service experience in Skibbereen. Their no quibble tyre warranty is excellent.

Bought my VW at Blackwater today.  I felt I got a competitive price for my trade in with Mark, in the sales room Niall was courteous, helpful, informative, gave good advice and communicated well to support the process of the sale. Shane v kindly met me in Mallow with my new car as I purchased from Galway.Can't fault these young men at Blackwater, they made my purchase v easy and were v personable. Would recommend to other buyers, keep up the good service👍👍

Had my car serviced recently, going fine.  When paying the lady in reception said she would email me the details of the service, it's now been six weeks and I'm still waiting for it. Not great customer service by any means.

Visited Fermoy yesterday looking to buy a new car (26)  Sales staff  all at desks but not 1 could be bothered to help, all "too" busy!  Don't worry  you're not the only ones, seems to be inherent in car sales showrooms in and around Cork city.  Fair play to the lady on reception who really tried to get someone to help. Exactly the same at Seat in Bandon great lady on  reception, sales guy walked past me got in car and drove round back didn't even acknowledge me. Peugeot in Bandon someone looked around the door but didn't venture out!!🤣🤣🤣

Had a great experience dealing with James in Newmarket Motors today! James talked me through the new Volkswagen T-cross, a gorgeous car with so many features! James went above and beyond to ensure the deal went smoothly! He was a pleasure to deal with & will definitely come back in the near future to talk more cars! Thanks a million,

Dealing with Noel here for years. Just bought another new crafter from Newmarket and the service is always the best. All the way from Wicklow so that tells you they are 5 star all the way . Thanks Noel

Collected a new transporter today from Cathal, an absolute gent to deal with! Jackie in the finance department made everything as easy as it could possibly be! Thanks lads

Don't ever buy used ID.4 , sales man was very fast and nice to sell us the car , but since we collected the car nothing but problems one following the other .... The chap that sold us the car responding very slow , ignoring phone calls .... took us three times to drive up and proof that brakes are screeching before they replaced some parts .... and loads of parking sensor  , door handle , radio , interior light , dampness related issues with it .....

Excellent service. Friendly and welcoming staff. Highly recommend

Excellent Service!! from reception greet till technical troubleshooting. Awesome!! Dara advisor is very nice, polite, listens carefully, answers to the point on the issue. I felt from first interaction that I am giving my car in safe hands as he knows the subject in depth. In my car, the emission issue was such, local garage could not find the cause. But hats off to O'Leary Lissarda advisor and technical folks behind the scenes, they resolved it with the pinpoint fix and proper solution. No work around. Earlier my car CO emission was high like 0.29% on high RPM and they make it 0.01%. Awesome work guys. That too with a very reasonable price. I will never show my car anywhere else now. I will always come to O'Leary Lissarda. If anyone has an emission issue, where another garage says they don’t know where the problem is, then come here, they will fix it. Very much impressed. Keep doing the good work. You guys rock!!

Huge thank you to the mechanics of O’Leary’s in Lisaarda who came to our rescue  today. I had a tyre puncture on the way home from Killarney that they immediately fixed and wouldn’t even take a tip never mind payment for their time! #OurHeroes 🙌

Can't thank Shane enough for his time. I was travelling home last Friday when an error airbag light came on my Passat, stopped off at O'Leary's to see if they could assist me to what the problem was. Within an hour Shane had diagnosed the issue and rectified it. Top class service thanks again Shane.

Excellent assistance from service dept. Unimpressed with advice from a mechanic at my regular VW garage I reached out to Daniel @ O’Learys for some help. Highly experienced and knowledgeable, he was spot-on regarding a technical matter with my car -understanding exactly what the issue was & gave measured/balanced  pros&cons re.  solutions on how to proceed. A pleasure to deal -professional, friendly and a true gent! Míle buíochas Daniel !
