    TI is worth travelling for, or so I'm told.

    TI auto's is where you want to take your car. Google if you want but as George say's, not too many Alfa specialists around Dublin with as good a reputation as TI Auto's. :)

    I'm sure you'd be amazed at the amount of gnomes out there. If you're looking for a decent Alfa garage then TI Auto's is the only place to go. :)

    Exactly, the best decent garage to deal with Alfa's is TI Auto's in my own and others opinions.

    +2 for Ti Autos. Gerry and Co know their way around Alfa's like nobody else.

    He will give you the truth and wont force you to spend money if the problem can be lived with. He gave me advice not to fix something that could be lived with and would cost a fortune to fix. He could have easily convinced me to spend my cash and get it sorted.

    Another recommendation for Ti Autos, based on many years experience.

    However, if Finglas is more convenient for the OP, I have also heard good things about Finglas Fiat (Auto Maintenance Services Ltd), although have never used them myself.

    hi,

    Contacted larkin lenihan today, explained my prob (basically i have loads warning lights and brakes are crazy!!). I was told repair could be handled and a full diagnostic report would be €50. so was happy enough. My dad ran it over as i was working.

    I got a call then later today from Ciaran to explaining that he had looked at the car and was very familar with the problem. The ABS unit is faulty and it needs a new one, he then told me that because the car had such low mileage it probably never returned to a main dealer. My aunt used own car a basically never drove it!!!

    I am delighted Ciaran checked with alfa and the car has an outstanding recall! So my car is now goin to a main dealer in the morning to be repaired for free. Result!!!! Great news as i had another garage replace two sensors but was still same.

    Very happy with service from the garage so thanks for the reccomendation !

    Used them the once myself, others I know have used them before too with glowing recommendations. Great crowd out there.

    It would appear I'm not alone either. :)

    Glad to hear all sorted OP, sounds like you dealt with a good garage.
