Hi,

I suppose it depends on what type of car you have but we bring our 02 Audi here and find them good.
The service manager is German, nice guy, efficient (of course) and very good at his job.

Judge Motors, up beside the big Tesco store, across from Reynolds garage
2 sound brothers working there, trustworthy and honest which is important to me when it comes to dealing with garages.
Wont rip you off either and tell you exactly what needs to be done.

There is an older thread on here somewhere and Judge Motors got a good thumbs up by a few others, highly recommend them.

Based on the recommendations here I rang Judge Motors for a small job - oil and filter change - and the quote not cheap, but that's probably because it was too small a job - anyway, you can't judge them based on one phone call anyway. Ended up getting the work done at another place who has a special deal on oil & filter change - for €40.

VC motors in boyne buisness park mechanic was top man in boyne cars for years wont rip you off

I'd agree with the recommendation of VC autos. I had a peugeot serviced by him for 2.5 years and one day I had to go into the peugeot garage in belfast for something (I was at Queen's at the time) and the mechanic was very impressed with the state of my car as he had been expecting a banger in disrepair at 120K miles, but no, my car had been very well looked after.

Also has a number of taxis that he looks after which is always a good sign in my book. And he's a really nice guy. I'm still taking my car to him now I'm back in Drogheda full time.

If they're that bad why do you go back??

And have you specifically joined boards to slate a local business?

Trusting your mechanic can be a tricky business... even the Dead Kennedys wrote a song about it!!
I find the lads in Judge motors decent, honest and reasonable.
That said, I do shop around the odd depending on the job.
FirstStop have pretty decent "on the ball" mechanics but they're dear as f*ck!!

I thought myself how to service my car as I have a strict 10k limit!!
handy enough when you know how... buying the correct oil is the dearest part!! Halfords usually got what I need on offer....

Sorry boxthefox, but i have removed your posts. As a new sign up, your very first post cannot be dragging up an old thread to promote a company.
