Hi all I wanted to create a place for members to give positive recommendations for Independent Skoda/VAG in Ireland. Main dealers are easy to find but i think its good to have alternatives for those of us who arent multi millionaires. I'll start! MAD Motors in Santry ( close to Dublin Airport ) Excellent service.... v reasonable....ex SKODA mechanic with pretty complete range of services http://www.madmotors.ie/ You're welcome ! 😊

That was me 😂. Sorry to hear of your bad experience.

I know there are many honest Skoda dealers out there so I don't want to tar them all with the same brush, but there is definitely some cowboy behaviour going on in terms of serious overcharging. Skoda would want to get their s*** together before it kills off all of the good will us loyal customers have.

Thanks so much for the recommendations and apologies for the delay in acknowledging. I ended up trying MAD Motors in Santry and was really impressed. They were fantastic and i got the matrix, flush, timing belt and water pump done for just over 2/3 of what Skoda quoted me for just the matrix replacement. Am raging at that particular Skoda agent, that is an absolute disgrace. I am never going back to them. As for MAD Motors, I'm recommending them to everyone!

Hi all I'm on my sixth Skoda, but this is my first time posting on the superb forum. I hope it’s okay to post this here, but I have a question on my car .. a superb 3 190 hp was in for a service and the dealer noticed that there was contamination to the coolant fluid and diagnosed a replacement heater matrix and all that goes along with that. When he told me the price, I was convinced that either he or I were having a stroke. I know it’s a labour intensive job, but all the same it sounded crazy.. can anyone recommend an independent Skoda/VAG specialist in North Dublin or surrounding areas please? Also a rough idea as to what it might cost either in Ireland, or the UK would be really appreciated Thanks all, and have a great Christmas
