| Re: Autostation - Dun Laoghaire 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.

| Re: Autostation - Dun Laoghaire 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. |

| Re: Autostation - Dun Laoghaire I see Autostation have moved to Sandyford Industrial Estate. Hyundai look like they are setting up at their old premises.

| Re: Autostation - Dun Laoghaire have a bit of an intermittent fault with my baby at the moment, so i rang this shower to organise a drop in and diagnose. it took 7 hours (and 4 calls) to get a call back. Once i did get a call back i was dealing with a Eugene, i attempted to explain the problem to him and his attitude excreted lack of interest. he tried to disinterest me by telling me how long it "could" take to diagnose and the cost involved leaving me feeling very deflated and let down. I rang the garage out by the park, attempted to start explaining the fault and he cut accross me to give me the full problem, the cause, the solution and when he could take the car, It was such a relief. The only down side was he cant take the car till the 19th ![]() I'd sooner burn my car out than think about leaving it with these guys. |

| Re: Autostation - Dun Laoghaire I spoke with Colm in there before buying my Fabia vRS privately and much to my surprise he was very helpful and full of encouragement. I'll be dropping into them for a service in 2,500 miles I think. Will withhold final judgment until after that time though! Have all the bad experiences happened at the old premises?
