Hi all,
time to draw on the wealth of knowledge around here.

VW Golf '99 1.4 almost 80K on the clock due for a service.
I'm looking for most of all a reliable place in Santry, Swords area
to get it serviced.

I'll be the first to admit (but not to the garage) that I know SFA about machanics, but I'd like to know what to expect when I go. Can I get a few tips please people?
