Hi all,

I have 03 Toyota Corolla and it is due a service this month.

Just wonder can anyone recommend a reliable place in limerick to get a car serviced. I have heard so many horror stories that I don't know where the best place is.

Thanks Guys

I am working in Castletroy, but i can travel anywhere in limerick for the right service.

I have used favorite motors on the Ballysimon road before and the service seemed good but i just want to know is there anything else out there.

I haven't used them myself but I heard good things about Windmill Motors.

Any idea of prices etc for Windmill motors?

Thanks.

I have heard good things about windmill motors as well but I have never used them. He is a bit out of town but I always use Rory Browne in Ballyneety.

Same here, haven't used them myself tho

Gerry Grace on the Kilmallock Rd, opposite the Ind Estate/Richie's Tyres, try him on your way out to Rory, one of the last honest mechanics....

Dunno about Windmill Motor's servicing, but a few years ago I went in there to have my lights set for the NCT. For €20 they just angled them down as far as they'd go. Not impressed. I've heard good things about Rory though.

John Noonan up by Collins Pub in Dooradoyle is v reliable

Ronan19 · 05-12-2011, 21:06

I rang around today, and the priciest was 200+ at Windmill motors and 150+ at R.s autos.

I rang favorite motors (a garage I had used before) and I was quoted 80euro, for oil and air filter change, coolant, and brake pads. I am on a bit of a budget and these guys have never let me down before so I think i will drop the car off there tomorrow.

Thanks for all yer help... Hope this helps others too.

I used to use these guys quite regularly,they're very thorough but expensive

Chavways · 05-12-2011, 21:17

I'd recommend R.S Auto aswell.My dad swears by him.Has been going to him for over 30 years and never had a problem.

If you are in Castletroy, I'd highly recommend Eammon O'Carroll. He has a place up behind the halting site. He's an excellent mechanic and will see you right. I've used him for years and have never had an issue with him. I grew up in the motor industry so I'm always skeptical about chancres.

PM me for his number if interested.
