Galway car mechanic needed

Yardleys Lavender

Kilduff's Garage is around the corner from NUIG in Nun's Island. Farrell's garage out past the diving tower beside the golf course. Loads of little garages on the Moycullen road would be handy for NUIG too.

There is a member on here called Row who is a mechanic and based in Galway, not sure whereabouts in Galway he is but might be worth dropping him a private message.

Just got some work done by 'rescu u' on the headford road. Can't speak highly enough of them now. €240 for some work that the Volvo Main Dealer quoted €500-700 for.

Hello,

Does anybody please have their phone number? It's a new garage and I cannot find the flyer they left weeks ago.
I cannot find it on the Golden Pages or in Google in general.

Thanks.

Can't find a recent thread so hope its ok to start a new one. Anyway looking for recommendations on Mechanics around the city area that can fix my boot as it no longer opens via the Key fob. Car is a VW Golf and I can still open manually so reckon its an electronic fault.

I contacted the main dealers but they want €90 just to 'diagnose' the issue so can't imagine how much more they'll then charge to fix!!

Where are you based? I have VCDS and could do a scan for you, however if you go to a dealer they will insist on doing their own scan also therefore i'm not sure if my offer will be all that helpful

Is it just the pads or discs as well? Most mechanics won't like someone supplying the parts as they make margin from supplying the parts themselves. Brakes are a simple enough job that plenty of DIYers can do so any mechanic will be able to do this easily and quickly.

Does this guy do normal run of the mill services too or just brake related?
If he does I'd appreciate a pm with his details etc, thanks.

Hi all thinking of buying a car but want it to get checked by a mechanic in the next day or so
thanks

When/where will you look at the car? There plenty of mechs in the city and you can probably (with owner consent) drive it straight to a close garage for inspection.

Hi, some piece of plastic is broken off behind my front bumper and dragging against the wheel.

Stupi annoying problem - anyone know someone who can fix something like this please PM me with address or google maps link?

PEACEBROTHER

Ford Mondeo 1.8 petrol`2005

Need 4 new tyres and a full service
Where would best place to go i around town
Also in around how much would people reckon ?

biko

For tyres, start with Francis in Clonboo.
Full service, any garage can do that - look for deals in local paper or consider DIY.

Piece of plastic, duct tape it for now and google "auto body repairs galway".

The Engine Management light is on in my 2005 Ford Focus and it's jerking when accelerating. Wonder if anyone can recommend me someone decent to have a look at it... trying to stay away from the Ford garage and hopefully save a few bob!

biko

You need car fault codes read using a special tool.
Most indies can do that so check with local mechs if you know any, otherwise scan this thread for some suggestions close to you.
Once you have the code it will tell you what is wrong and you can get a quote from a few locals on fixes.

Looking for a good mechanic on the west side of the city ideally. Its only a small job but could do with knowing a good mechanic for future reference
