Got mine tone in advance pit stop there on headford rd, opposite the omniplex. got 3 lights changed and they did a quick inspection of the car. total cost was €20 great deal in fairness. left the car there at 9am came back after a trip around town roughly 3 and collected it. they ring you as well when its done, if your just hanging about.

http://www.galwaycarservicecentre.ie/ are good although I must say they've disappointed me once or twice.
Mainly because they've too much work I guess. Left car at 10 to be ready at 12. Had to walk home and then back again for 12 - turns out they hadn't even started on it, feckers. Otherwise good work.

I sent mine in here to get aligned as well. Turned out that one of my lamp alignment bolts were broke. so they changed the bulb polished up the light and added some kind of pattern enhancer. Note was on the receipt that it my not pass but i sent it in and it did. So i would say good job and price was good from what i recall.

Actually it was about the headlight. They advised me to get a new headlamp but i had left it late so they said they would do the best with the one that was in it. Because one of the alignment screws(horizontal one i think) was broken they could not guarantee it would pass alignment without replacing the whole lamp. They obviously done a good enough job as it did pass. They are right across from the NCT center.

Ah right, fair enough then. Seems like a good place. might check them out next time the car needs a bit of looking over.

I used that place too (http://www.galwaycarservicecentre.ie/) last time i had to get lights aligned. Actually, my car had just failed the NCT so I just dropped it in across the road from the NCT centre and got it done there and then. (Still had to wait a couple of weeks for the restest though...)
