Ford Service - Cork

    It's the time of year when I need to get my car serviced. I'll have a look at my manual and see what sort of service the car needs for the mileage.

    Does anyone know of a decent Ford garage that can do the service and won't cost an arm & several legs? I'm in Cork City. I think there's a garage by the airport, and there's City Ford, but do not know their reputations.

    Also - the car's due for an NCT. It'll probably be either Little Island or Blarney. Do either of these stations offer Saturday/late evening inspections?

    Sorry to be a bit woolly, but don't have much experience of Irish mechanics being from London, but any and all help appreciated!

    TIA:)

    Just realised this might be the wrong forum! Mods - if so, please move. Thanks!!

    Cork city Ford is the main ford dealer close to the airport,its at the top of forge hill,we buy most of our Ford parts from them,from what i can see they are a very professional and helpful bunch and i would have no problem recommending them..
    How old is your car?Does it have to be a main dealer that services it?an indy would prob be cheaper.
    As for the nct centres i think they both open late during the week but not sure about weekends..

    Thanks for the reply. It's a 2007 Fiesta which is also due 1st NCT soon.:) Yes, Indy would be cheaper, but I figured for the first service since I got the car, it might be better for Ford to do it, but am not sure....Don't know of any indies in Cork.

    I am looking at getting my ford smax serviced. There are 3 Ford dealers in and around Cork I am looking at. They are located as follows:
    1. Midleton
    2. Forge Hill
    3. Monahan Road
    Anybody had any good or bad dealings with the above as regards servicing? Thanks.

    We have a batch of transits at work and they are serviced at Cork city ford. The lads are happy with them.
