Took Gapford out for a spin earlier while the weather is still nice. You'll have to excuse the bodywork atm, really have no time to sort it / and I can't find the correct paint anywhere, or indeed the paint code. Running sweet as ever.0 -

I now know what love at first sight really is
I live about 3 km from that garage and avoid it at all costs wouldn't go to it unless I'm really stuck for parts I normally try buy parts in vw carlow or cork. My parents have had way too many bad experiences there. Is there not a fairly good vw garage in tip.0 -

They just like messing customers around and enjoy lying to them a lot too. My parents never actually bought a car there well my dad had a deposit on a car years and years ago and when he went to collect it they had sold it to someone else. When my dad was buying a golf van late last year he said he'd try them again just because they are local they gave him a cash price he came back a week later to try do a deal they had jacked the price up 1000 euro and said the last price was a mistake.
We brought our octavia into be serviced it had one warranty issue they said they had done up a report and sent it to skoda to see if it would be covered turns out they never sent the report to skoda or even documented the problem just lied to us about.
I could think of another 4 or 5 problems we had but I'm not going to list them. Parts department is useless too and overpriced by 30-40% on other main dealers.
Wow, thanks for letting me know! The salesman is suppose to get back to me on Wednesday with details of a car so it'll be interesting to see will he.
To be honest, I'll probably deal with my local Volkswagen dealer if I am getting a Volkswagen as I know him v well and has a very respectable history!
Either way, the Golf that was there at Lahart's was a smashing car

Yep lovely car alright.
I'm not trying out you of them either that's just my experience with them. They sell plenty of cars so some people must fine them good. But if your local dealer is good then for handiness it probably worth buying them although I suppose it all comes down to price let us know how you get on with them. My dad bought his golf in newmarket in cork and the service you get down there is unbelievable I never experienced it in any other garage. That morning there was someone there from galway, Limerick, us from kilkenny all collecting cars so it does show that they are attracting people from all over ireland.0 -

I had a look in the commercial showroom but there wasnt much around. Just 3 cars in the showroom and the salesman was outside moving cars. We left there and headed across to the Skoda and Volkswagen part.
I've to head down to Cork in the next few weeks, I'll certainly make sure to take a detour to have a look at that garage
My local Vw dealer, Tom Harvey, is a tad bit expensive but he is 100% honest & reliable and would do anything just so your vehicle is A1 again.0 -

They are abit in the middle of nowhere well it's in newmarket but there is not a whole lot in newmarket. You could always give them a ring or email. My dad started by emailing them as he was working in the uk at the time and couldn't call during the day. The salesman really went the extra mile he answered email after email my dad had with questions. They were the cheapest by a long way in our case. Just the attitude they have is great if it's possible to do it for you they will.0 -

Thats really what you look for with a garage. Do they have ad's on carzone do you know? (carzone wont open for it today for some reason so I cannot check).
I'll make sure to keep them in mind anyways 0 -

They advertise very little of their stuff. So you are as well to contact them and they will tell you, they have a sh!t load of demo stock it's unbelievable. My dad contacted them to say he'd have to go with another garage as he needed to buy a demo straight away this was November and that he couldn't wait till January for a new one. Salesman was like sure we have 2 demo golf vans here 1k cheaper than the next cheapest demo straight price.
We went up to look the one he bought had 1k km on it they agreed to give him mats and fitted vw mudflaps (200 euro extra on a golf) then when we collected it they put a full tank of fuel in it and then the salesman seen I had a mk5 golf and gave me a set of genuine vw mats too without even asking. We left I was like so how do they actually make money. No doubt it's through repeat business. It's the first place Id be heading to get a replacement for my current car.0
