Okay where to start.

This was my first time that I bought a car from a dealer and I have to say I was in very safe hands with Western Motors and with their Salesman Stuart.

Stuart was patient, helpful and informative. Always available to ask questions, always brimming with knowledge and expertise. Helped me every step of the way in purchasing my own ID.7. It’s such an amazing car from such an amazing team and I want to thank everyone including Stuart for their amazing support and help. I highly recommend them.

I recently purchased from Western Motors Drogheda and have to say it was a flawless experience from beginning to end. Many thanks to salesman Liam for his guidance and help throughout the process. Absolutely delighted with my purchase, would highly recommend.

After having several bad experiences buying cars privately, including ending up with faulty cars, we decided to try buying from a dealership for the first time. We found a car we liked on the Western Motors Drogheda website.

Stephen contacted us by phone and arranged a test drive. From the beginning, he was absolutely amazing.  He made the whole process easy and stress free, and we never felt under any pressure.

When we collected the car, it was in immaculate condition and beautifully valeted. We are delighted with both the car and the excellent customer service we received.

Overall, we couldn’t be happier with our first dealership experience. Thank you, Stephen, and everyone at Western Motors Drogheda. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a quality car and outstanding service.

Had a great experience buying my car from Drogheda Western Motors. Everything was really smooth from start to finish, and the whole process was easy and stress-free. The team were friendly and helpful throughout, and I was made to feel comfortable the whole way through. Rory was especially brilliant. Really sound, knowledgeable, and made sure everything was sorted properly. There was no pressure at all, just honest help and good customer service. I’d happily recommend them to anyone looking for a car and would definitely go back again in the future.

I purchased a 2023 Skoda Kodiaq from Western Motors on 15 January and unfortunately the experience has been disappointing from start to finish.

I sold my previous car privately on 22 January after being assured by Dara that the Kodiaq would be ready within a week. However, the vehicle was not ready until 3 February. While the garage did provide a loan car, the repeated delays meant I had to contact my insurance company multiple times to extend temporary cover. I also had to request a letter from the garage to confirm the arrangement. Dara initially seemed unfamiliar with this requirement and eventually sent a letter containing the wrong name.

The vehicle was sent for valeting before collection, including the mats and boot mat. When I collected the car, none of the mats had been returned. After numerous texts and phone calls, I finally received the boot mat on 1 May.

The spare key was also unavailable when I purchased the vehicle. I waited until 1 May to collect it, only to spend approximately an hour at the garage while it was programmed to the vehicle.

The Kodiaq came with a tow bar and I was assured on the day of purchase that a key was available to remove and refit it. Dara confirmed he would contact the previous owner to obtain it. After months of chasing through texts and calls, and eventually dealing directly with his manager Anthony, I finally received the key on 5 June. Throughout this process, Dara provided very little assistance and even suggested that my husband contact the tow bar manufacturer himself because he was too busy.

To make matters worse, the vehicle went into limp mode twice. It was booked into the garage on 5 June, parts were ordered, and I was told the repair would be completed on 12 June. The garage confirmed the vehicle would be ready at 5:30pm that day. However, when my husband called after 4:30pm, he was informed that it would not be ready until Monday. This resulted in another loan car being arranged and another temporary insurance change.

On 15 June, I was told the vehicle would be ready around lunchtime. When I called at 12pm, I was informed that it was unlikely to be ready until the following day.

While some staff members did try to help by arranging loan vehicles, the overall level of communication, delays, missing items, broken promises, and lack of follow-through have been extremely frustrating. Purchasing a vehicle should not involve months of chasing for basic items, repeated insurance changes, and ongoing uncertainty about when the car will actually be available.

Based on my experience, I would not recommend Western Motors. Had I known the level of inconvenience and stress involved, I would have chosen to buy elsewhere.

Western Motors Drogheda

Western Motors was founded in Galway by Jim McCormack. Jim and his Wife, Anne had a young family, Orla, Derval, Simon and James when Western Motors first opened the doors as a Massey Ferguson tractor dealership in 1964.

Tragedy struck the family in 1969 when Jim McCormack unexpectedly passed away at the age of 43, leaving Anne alone to raise her young family and take over the reins at a now successful dealership selling Massey Ferguson tractors and Austin cars. Anne had never worked in the business and was a nurse by profession!

Anne was a fast learner and driven by her desire to provide for her young family, she prospered in a totally male dominated industry. Anne took the decision to switch to the Fiat and Lancia franchises in 1971 and along with these she also took on George Moran as a director of the company. Anne continued as Managing Director until 1989 when she took a well deserved retirement. George continued to work in the company until 1997.
