Colm O'Dowd - April 04, 2026

"These guys are lifesavers. Wet belt went in the car and they were the only ones who would take a look. Davy kept me updated. It was a big, expensive job but it had to be done. Reliable and recommended. He’s far away from where I live but it’ll be worth going there for a service"

"Great service today from the team. Had a full service done with MPM 5W-40 oil and Bosch Iridium plugs, car is running much better now. It’s noticeably smoother and more responsive. Highly recommend them for using quality parts and doing a proper job!"

Roseanne Penrose - January 15, 2026

"Highly, highly recommended. Volkswagen expertise is the best, bar none. After dealing with multiple other companies David and his team performed a difficult, labour intensive, and complex overhaul of my engine and a timing chain replacement. When I collected my car I was surprised and delighted that David had also serviced the car and sorted out a number of other issues. Original price was already excellent value, with the extra services and the superb customer service it was a perfect experience. Thank you David and all the wonderful team at D Fitzgerald Autos. Best wishes, Roseanne."

Declan Hughes - November 20, 2025

"After a main dealer quoted mad money to replace a headlight in my car after it failed the NCT, David was able to get it sorted without needing replacement. Car passed without issue and he saved me a fortune. Cannot recommend them enough, absolute pleasure to deal with. Will be getting all works on my cars done by David in future."

"Great service. He responded quickly to my request and priced up the items ahead of booking in. No panic or fuss. Job done professionally and at a good price. Even though he is on the other side of the city from me it's well worth the journey as I know I'm dealing with a reliable business who know what they are doing."
