    When I was driving home from college on Friday going through clonmel I noticed vans boom lift outside the old Renault garage near tesco closed about 3 years it was a mordant garage. As I was driving to college this morning all the signs were up and about 30 cars outside it I was shocked mordant signs up. I hope it works out its so nice to see an empty wasted car garage come alive again hopefully this will happen to more idle garages.

    Not sure tbh. Mordant group had a lot of garages and dealership in clonmel. But were down to one garage until they reopened this one. I must go past the other one on Friday to see if that one is still open but I'd assume there back to 2 now. I don't think they have any franchises though maybe one.

    I didn't think so although if it was around the back I wouldn't have seen it. Looked like they were just doing a basic tidy up and maintenance before they reopened it. As it was a relatively new garage when it closed and they lost the Renault dealership. It always looked like such a waste when it was empty.

    A right by the looks of that the other garage near the shopping centre is closing. I'd of thought the other garage the one near the shopping centre was a bigger and a better garage I could be wrong I was never in either. Also by the looks of the cars this morning most of the stuff was newer 10 11 reg stuff. Although I didn't get a proper look and it was 5am so still dark.

    Workmate bought one like that. To be fair the car was mint and they've put big miles on it since without hassle.

    Halfords and while I know I sound like a broken record, Mobil 1 is a better oil. As is Liqi Moli. Castol + BMW is mostly marketing exercise. Also Castrol do those annoying 4litre cans when everyone else is 5litres! Castol Edge is better than Edge Sport, also a somewhat dubious Castrol-ism.
