    The place in Quayside has had a few recommendations on here before.

    A good hoover & a bucket of soapy water is about as far as I've got to a valet. Never even got round to using them - took out the hoover, filled up the bucket, then said "f*ck that, I'm off off to the pub." ;)

    In Grange at the Texaco Station. €25 for a very good valet.

    Hi there.
    Could anyone recommend a car valet service in the town?
    My car is filthy! I have been getting work done in the house and garden the last few weeks and have been using my car as a truck!!!!
    It needs a complete clean inside and out. Recommendations gratefully accepted.
    Thanks.

    There's one in Quayside in the car park on the left as you drive in - they're pretty decent. Might be a good idea to try & book an appointment before you go in though, as they're usually pretty busy.

    Any recommendations for a place that can do a 'deep clean' on the interior please?

    Hi there.
    I went to Sorens Valet Service on the Pearse Road...where the old petrol station used to be and beside the vets.
    I found them excellent.They have different prices for different levels of a clean.There is a billboard outside on the gable wall of the vets which explains everything.I went for the top one which was I think EUR60 and it was well worth it.The car came out like new.
    My partner brought in his Fiat Panda and went for the cheapest option and again a great job.
    Make sure you have some plastic bags though to put on the seats when picking it up as they will be a bit damp...leave the windows open as long as you can to make sure everything drys out well.

    Best to give it a miss ,unless you want to have to spend more ,doing it right or worse ,have it repaired! OVER priced ,car was covered with marks,scrapes.

    Best to give a miss to them, only in for a fast buck... i was not happy with service or price,and had to get it done again,with a nice young man in Dromahair.He was very help full ,seeing i was coming with a another man's bad work.PLUS he's well priced and has a follow up service.Best around if you ask me.

    Best full detailed valet is in Dromahair,its a old school ... they take pride in what they do,if your not happy you dont pay. Thats what i call a good service,PLUS they follow up a few weeks later to see ,all is holding up well.
    Not sure if they know that they are easily 25% cheeper ,than any other Valeting service around!:D

    You wouldn't have anything to do with the place in Dromahair by any chance? Three posts all about the same thing.

    WTF is going on here? :confused: Did wise shopper just sign up again as MasterValeter, cos neither of them are making any sense?

    Right thread locked because it's gone way out of hand. I only asked for a recommendation because I'm getting a car that needs a good interior valet.
