John Scanlon Auto Repairs (John Scanlon)

"Keep me on the road for 20yrs or more, Diamond geezer, A1 mechanics he trained up!!! Known him since was a little nipper. Thank you John, & God Bless you..."

"Left my car in for repair with a suspected blown turbo. Was told they had hooked it up to the computer and that the engine had blown and quoted 2-3k for a new engine. Rather than throw more money away, I told them that that I'd just collect it (my intention was to scrap it), and was discouraged from doing so, even pressured not to. They were trying to get me to sell them the car for scrap. I found their demeanor very suspicious. After 6 or so weeks I just turned up with a jeep and car trailer to move the car. Was charged 40euro for the diagnostics before they'd give me the keys. Whilst loading the car, we were threatened by the autopaint body repair guy, who could clearly see what we were trying to do for blocking the gate momentarily. Brought the car to a different mechanic who confirmed that only the turbo had gone. Nothing wrong with the engine whatsoever. So the 40 euro on the diagnostic was worth every penny. 400 euro to repair in the end. On the whole, these guys are very shady imo. Would not recommend."

"I had an engine issue with my renault that another mechanic couldn’t get to the bottom of. He recommended I try John Scanlon. I’m so glad I did! The service was fast, professional and friendly. They did the job meticulously and explained to me every step of the process. I came away with a fixed car, a much better understanding of how it all works and not too much out of pocket. Could not recommend more!"

"This garage was recommended to me by a friend and I would recommend this garage to anyone having car troubles. John and his employees got me out of a serious hole and went out of their way to make sure I had my car up and running as soon as possible and even worked past normal working hours to ensure this. I found the staff very helpful and friendly and their prices are cheaper than anywhere else I was quoted in Sligo. Thanks John & staff"

"My car broke down last Saturday night and John arrived promptly to tow us to his garage. He also had a taxi arranged to pick us up and bring us to Mullaghmore. He also had my car fixed and ready for me to pick up on Monday, one working day later!! Very pleasant & nice guy to deal with!! Would definitely recommend!!!!!"
