Workshop

One-stop workshop

Diagnostics, servicing, NCT prep and everything in between — all done in-house.

Services

The work we do

Five services we handle every week in Ballyhaunis.

NCT pre-test and preparation

Full pre-test inspection with a written report and honest pricing.

Brake repair and service

Pads, discs, callipers and fluid — checked, replaced, done right. MOOG and Jurid parts. Bedding-in tag goes on the mirror.

Oil change and lube service

MPM OE-approved oil and Purflux filters, fair prices. Wing-mirror tag tells you what went in and when it's next due.

Transmission service and repair

Clutch and gearbox work diagnosed before we touch a spanner.

Preventive maintenance

Scheduled checks that stop small problems becoming big bills.

OE-quality parts across every job

What you get with every service

Three things come standard when you bring your car to us. They are not extras. They are the job done right.

Vehicle health check

You leave with a traffic-light report on your car — red for urgent, amber for advisory, green for good.

Warranty upheld

We are a Top Auto Service Centre, so every service uses OE or matching-quality parts.

Service book stamped

We update your service book on the day and log the work properly.

Experience

Decades of experience

Our mechanics work on every type of engine and vehicle — daily drivers, family cars, vans, small commercial vehicles, and medium-duty rigs. Petrol and diesel, older mechanical builds and modern computerised systems. We use up-to-date diagnostic equipment, but we also read the car the old-fashioned way — with our ears, our hands and forty-five years of pattern recognition. That's why we can tell you what's actually wrong the first time, and quote you honestly before we lift a spanner.

Trust

Why locals bring their cars here

Three things that matter when you hand over the keys. We know because we've been on the other side.

Honest quotes first

You'll always get a full quote before we start. No hidden add-ons on the final bill.

Genuine parts

Manufacturer-spec or OEM-equivalent parts — the ones that last, not the ones that just fit.

Same-day where possible

Most services and common repairs completed within the day. We know you need the car back.

NCT

Pre-NCT? We'll get you there first-time

The NCT is stressful when you go in unprepared. Book a pre-NCT check with us and we'll run your car through the same inspection points the test centre will — then flag anything that needs fixing before you go.

FAQs

Straight answers from the workshop floor. No jargon, no runaround.

Do I need to book?

Booking ahead means we can have the right parts ready and a bay clear for you. For quick jobs — a puncture, a bulb, a top-up — feel free to call in on the day.

Can you pre-test imports?

Yes. Imports are one of the most common pre-tests we do. We know what the NCT centres look for and we'll flag it before they do.

How long is pre-NCT?

Around 60 to 90 minutes for the check itself. If we find work that needs doing, we'll price it up on the spot and book you back in at a time that suits.

Do you work on vans?

We do. Daily drivers, new cars, medium-duty vans and light trucks — petrol, diesel and propane, we're set up for all of it.

Is there a courtesy car?

Depending on the day and what's in the yard, yes. Ring ahead and one of the lads will let you know what we can sort.

What are your workshop hours?

Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm, with a lunch break from 1pm to 2pm. Saturday, 9am to 1pm. Recovery is separate and runs 24/7.

Still have questions?

Ring the workshop and ask. We answer the phone.

Something not right with the car?

Ring the workshop and describe it. If we can talk you through it, we will. If not, we'll book you in.
