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."

Troy - July 10, 2025

"Massive thanks to Dave and the the lads for the quick and efficient brake pad change. Dave also gave some great advice regarding the tyres which would be better suited to the car as my front pair are near their end. I will definitely be coming back here in future for any further changes or services. Thanks lads!"
