Really depends whether they have the car you want ? Blackrock motor company are long est. And know people who have had good experiences there. Abs motors in little island is more affordable stuff , they are near my job seem to deal in cars in good Nick. The owner pat Breen has been in the trade a long time. But when buying a used car you really need to do history check and get mechanic to check car.

Might be worth starting a thread in the Motors sub forum 'Buying'. Lots of very knowledgeable people over there who'll give good advice.

I'd include what budget you have, what mileage you will be doing etc.

I'd give ABS a skip TBH, presuming it's the one at the entrance to Rockgrove Estate. It regularly changes name, which is a major red flag. I viewed a car there myself which was far from as advertised; a neighbour also had big trouble with them after being sold a faulty and is still out of pocket AFAIK.

I had an unbelievably crappy/dodgy sales experience with ASM (Auto Sales Macroom) recently. Needless to say, I didn't buy from them/him.
