    Are you talking a newish car where you want to keep main dealer history or are you just looking for a cheap reliable independent place to do it? Is the car something ordinary or requiring specialist diagnostics?

    Id highly recommend Baldoyle Auto Centre,
    I've used them a good few times in the past,very honest and good prices.

    Just go to a handful of garages and get a quote. Go with whichever one feels right.

    There's no such thing as "best mechanic". Every mechanic has his own area of expertise.

    It's an old car I just bought, just want a good service on it and if it needs work not to get ripped off.

    It's a Volkswagen Golf

    Sorry to bump this but looking for a recommendation a bit closer to city centre (south), somewhere similar to Baldoyle?

    Car is due a NCT soon and needs a looking over along with a few things like replacing a bulb/repair wipers/etc.

    Baldoyle Auto Centre

    1 if it's just bulbs/wipers etc then you can do it yourself.
    2 don't spend any major money until after nct, when you know what they failed you on.
