About us
A family garage, fixing cars in Ennis since 1998
My dad Tom opened the garage in 1998 with one ramp and a lot of regulars. I started sweeping the floor here at fourteen and I have run the place since 2015.
We are still the kind of garage where you talk to the person who works on your car. We tell you what needs doing now, what can wait, and what it will cost, before we start.

Sent a booking request on Sunday night, dropped the car in Tuesday morning and had it back by four. They rang before doing the rear pads and the price was exactly what they said.

Failed the NCT on two small things. They sorted both the same day and it sailed through the retest. No fuss and very fair.
Pat M.Toyota Avensis -
★★★★★
Engine light came on and I was dreading the bill. Kamil found a split hose in twenty minutes and had me back on the road that afternoon. Honest people.
Gráinne C.Skoda Octavia -
★★★★☆
Clutch done in a day and the car drives like new. Only reason for four stars is I waited a week for a slot, which says a lot about how busy they are.
Eoin R.Ford Focus -
★★★★★
They sent me photos of my worn discs on WhatsApp before doing anything. First garage that has ever done that for me. I'll be back for the service.

Do you do NCT tests?
The NCT itself is only done at an NCT centre, so no garage can test your car for you. What we do is get it ready: a pre NCT check for €45, any repairs at a price you agree first, and if it fails we fix the items on the report so it is ready for the retest.
Can I get a courtesy car?
We keep a couple of courtesy cars for bigger jobs like clutches and timing belts. Ask when you book and we will hold one for you if we can. Most services are done the same day, so you usually won't need one.
How can I pay?
By card, contactless, phone payment, cash or bank transfer. You pay when you collect the car, and you get a full receipt with the parts and labour listed.
Is there a warranty on your work?
Yes. Parts and labour are covered for 12 months or 20,000 km, whichever comes first. If something we fitted fails in that time, bring the car back and we will put it right.
Will a service here affect my car's warranty?
Not when it is done properly. Your warranty stays in place as long as the service follows the maker's schedule and uses parts of matching quality. That is how we do every service, and we stamp your book and give you a written record.
Do I need to book, or can I drop in?
Please book for services and repairs so we can have the parts ready. For a puncture or a warning light, ring us and we will fit you in where we can.
