Best trade-in price on my old car in Dublin. Really friendly salesman Joe. Couldn't fault them on anything. Super car.

LIGHTNIN · 12-03-2006, 01:10

I have bought a few spare parts from them and they were very helpful. First class service and all the staff are extremely friendly.

Contact Joe just picked up new VRS Oct 170.Great service returned all phone calls when asked.Even when not asked cant praise them enough.Great service.

Conor M · 15-02-2007, 21:34

thoght they were a bunch of rip off merchants.

fletch555 · 11-04-2007, 14:25

Got my Fabia vRS serviced by them in the Beacon Automotive service centre and couldn't fault them. Very professional service and excellent communication with me as a customer. No additional work was carried out without first contacting me to make sure it was okay and in the end I got a 7% discount to keep the price within my budget. Would have no qualms about getting my car serviced here again.

Thumbs up for Colm in sales. He brought me out for a test-drive in the Fabia II. He was very enthusiastic about the brand and certainly knew his stuff.

thomj42 · 30-05-2007, 18:14

i had a "different" experience with that same salesman.

francisglee · 27-06-2007, 12:18

recently purchased vrs octavia diesel from autostation and am delighted with the car which is ideal for twisty roads here in west of ireland. Colm was the salesman . Very efficient and displayed great knowledge of the product. My best new car shopping experience ever. Traded in a 06 superb 130 bhp and managed to save 5850 euro over what i was being asked to pay to for same deal in galway and 1350 euro under next best deal. Well worth shopping around.
