BLU Motors Naas Rd

ticktock2015

Hi there,

Trying to find info on the above dealership on the Naas Rd and drawing a blank. Anyone familiar with them or know if they have previously traded under a different name? Aware there are a LOAD of dodgy dealers out there and don't know whether it's a positive or a negative that I can't find any online feedback thus far.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks for the reply

They don't seem the stereotypical naas rd dealer to be fair.

one of the directors is a john traynor , wonder is it the well known john traynor who was also involved in the motor trade as well as other things !
as with all used car dealers , do a history check on car , get mechanic to check over and don't be too trusting or take much notice of warranty as only main dealer warranties are any good

Thanks for the replies. Trying to be as cautious as I can. Hopefully will be able to avoid any high profile gangland characters.... Will be doing physical and history checks but just wanted to see if anything cropped up with these lads, I know the short life span of a lot of the dealers out that direction and the frequent change in company names etc

Did you get any further info on these lads? I'm thinking of buying a car from them.

Nothing seemed to crop up when researching them, seem fairly legit. Car is going well, no issues. Just waiting on NCT now

Bought off them in the last year. Car broke down shortly afterwards, when i brought it back they could find no issues with it. And i got it back.

Knew the car wasn't right so i brought it to a main dealer. The problem with the car? Spark Plugs. they weren't replaced before it was sold and they obviously didn't bother or didn't know to check them when it broke down. The dealers garage said they were in poor condition.

They have some good cars in stock and i got a good one at a good price. But their after-sales and customer service i found to be lacking.

Let's be honest, you're not paying main dealer prices so you can't expect a car that has been gone over by a qualified mechanic and as has been pointed out often enough, their warranties aren't worth sh1t.

Before anyone buys a car from any of these indie dealers, you need to ask yourself one simple question: 'Where did this car come from and how did this dealer end up with it?'

In the case of a main dealer, you know it was a trade-in for a new or newish car but in the case of indie dealers it was probably bought at an auction or from someone who didn't maintain it properly and who knows it will fail the NCT.

Purchased a car from them in December, the DPF went in Feb. Had seen this thread during my research before buying so wasn't sure what to expect. They replaced the DPF and supplied a courtesy car while it was being replaced.
