Merrion Motor Company, Lr Mount Pleasant Avenue, Rathmines, Dublin 6.

Hi Folks,

Has anyone ever heard of the above.

Anyone ever had any dealings with them, good bad or indifferent?

Many thanks:)

Bought a car for my mum off them beginning of the year.
Had to chase them to get them to send off the RF105 (I think) form to change the ownership of the car she traded in.
Besides that they were fine.
Very reasonable when it came to haggling and the Rep we dealt with was a pleasant bloke.
The car itself is spot on so can't comment on the warranty they offered.

Thank you Keith,

Sounds promising.

Did Merrion Motor Company trade under a different name at this premises?

Perhaps I am confusing them with someone else?

Perhaps Merrion Motor Company were based somewhere else before their existing premises?

I just associated the name Merrion with Mount Merrion in Dublin.

I could be on the wrong track altogether?

After looking at your original post it appears I glazed over on the address.
I assumed it was mount Merrion you were talking about as well. I've never dealt with the one you were talking about.

That's where Suburban Autos were for years, they're long gone from there. Been a few garages through that site since.

Suburban Autos & Suburban Cars , were they connected?

Who owns Merrion Motor Company?

Merrion name seems out of place. I recall Gowan Motors in Merrion, and Deerpark in Mount Merrion

My apologies I was just trying to clarify previous threads in relation to who Merrion Motor Company was and when it was started.
My name is Barry Walsh and I am the Managing Director of Merrion Motor Company.
sorry for any confusion
