Sheehy Motors Naas

I am absolutely disgusted with Sheehy Motors in Naas. A number of weeks ago, my car failed its NCT due to a leaking shock absorber. You d think it would be a pretty straightforward thing to change, and that it wouldn t cost the earth, wouldn t you?

Well, I rang Sheehy Motors - who had serviced the car a few months ago - and the lady on the phone gave me a price for the job of 686, to cover the supply and fitting of two new shock absorbers. I confirmed this with her at least twice during and at the end of our call. Happy with that, I booked in the car to be repaired.

This morning, I turned up as arranged, and was asked to sign a document allowing the technicians to work on the car. I asked why the price was not listed on the page. The administrator then said that the price was 1,100 !!!! When I said that the price was already agreed, he said no, the parts alone would cost over 750. It just seems so underhand to me that they would give a verbal price and then try to charge so much more. I took my keys and went to another garage, getting them done for 320 less.
I always knew they were expensive, but I ll never use them again. This is my fifth Skoda and I have never had any trouble with the cars, only the local dealership.
