    Hi all, had my car booked for an oil change on Saturday in a garage in Tallaght having told them the week previous i'm unable to leave my car with them for the day, low and behold i get down on Saturday morning, it's pissing rain and they tell me to leave the car it'll be done at some stage that day. I explain to them again I've no way to get home and back down so i'd rather if they could do it when i'm there that would be great. Even if you want to call me later and i'll fly down. They said fine but never called, surprise surprise.

    So i'm wondering if anyone knows a place you can book in for an oil change and they'd do with within an hour or so? Not willing to do it myself before that gets suggested.

    Saturday is a bad day for getting service work done, as most garages have reduced staff on Saturdays, that and some places just don't do while you wait services. Maybe they could have tried to accommodate you but it's not always possible.

    It's almost the norm in main dealers particularly around Dublin to offer while you wait "express" services these days with a guaranteed turn around of 90 mins or 2 hours etc at no extra cost, but again it's generally Monday - Friday.

    To be fair it did seem like the garage you called into were offering same day service, but it would be later in the day - seems reasonable to me.

    Btw unless you were driving to tallaght from outside of Dublin (which, maybe you were) you could always get a taxi down and back to collect your car.

    Never understood Dubliners saying they have no way of getting home :)
