Are Beacon valeting still operating?

Compudaro

Just wondering if the lads are still valeting cars in the carpark of Beacon South Quarter in Sandyford? Tried phoning for the past few days and keep getting an "engaged" tone. Anyone know?

Thanks.

No idea!
However, I'd have my doubts about leaving a car with them!

First thing I thought of too

The shame. The shame.

Ah lads, water under the bridge as they say! Back to my question though, last I heard a few of the old team had taken over the business but as I said, when I tried to phone I was out of luck. Not to get off point, but if Beacon aren't there anymore, who else in (South) Dublin does a reliable, quality handwash at a reasonable price?

I used them a good while back (the best part of a year ago), I was initially happy but when I took the time to look closer I thought the job was actually quite poor. White residue on top of the dash by the windscreen, that sort of thing.

Don't think that's very fair about the Ferrari link lads.

I know the original owner of the place and his business was pretty much destroyed over two idiots, one a fully grown man, one barely old enough to drive.

The company has ceased trading anyway, some of the staff stayed on for a while but they closed for good on Christmas Eve. It's a pity because they were very good at what they did (in my experience of using them anyway which was over 8+ years).

OP there's a place called The Wash in Leopardstown a friend of mine owns it and it's not too far away from where Beacon was.

Was down there this morning... still closed which is odd - I'd say they're gone!

Anan, I thought you were talking about the photos:D - Was wondering what menu in photoshop caused the "white residue on top" :eek:

I saw Tony over at Audi Ballsbridge the other day, so it looks like he's still working away.
