Ash and Andrea helped with diagnosing the car. Ash even arranged a table and chair in a quiet room for me as I was working online. I would recommend getting your car here for service as the guy's are very helpful and patient with their customers

Massive thank you to the team especially mo and yash . From the minute I got in both were kind and genuine. The interaction felt natural and I truly appreciate their patience. I would recommend them even to people who know nothing about cars as I know they go into detail and offer you the best advice. Mo went above and beyond for my car that wasn't so cooperative, I did not raise that I would like a certain part done just so I could save time and cut costs were necessary and Mohammad had sorted it out without me having to ask, excellent service.

I’ve been to Sweeney’s Garage in Bray on multiple occasions for different issues with my car, and I’ve always had a great experience. Ash and the team are consistently professional, transparent and helpful. Particularly appreciate the way they keep you updated throughout the process. On one occasion, they even sent me a video showing the work being carried out on my car and clearly explained what needed to be done. That level of transparency really makes a difference and gives you confidence that your car is in good hands. Eventhough plenty busy, Andrea, Ash, Eoin and the rest of the team have always been incredibly welcoming, friendly and approachable. Getting an appointment has also never been an issue. I’ve always managed to get one within 2–3 days, which is a big plus. Pricing is very reasonable too. definitely be returning in the future. Highly recommend!

Thanks a lot to Kevin and his team, in particular Billy and Jack, who carried out a full service and additional maintenance on my 2014 Dacia Sandero. They explained everything clearly (including videos) at every step, made it clear what was necessary and what was optional, and there was no hard sell/upselling. My vehicle got a long overdue thorough service/maintenance and got through its 12th year NCT fine. ????

Really happy with the service at Sweeney's! I brought my car in after it failed the NCT and everyone was very friendly and helpful, especially the receptionist. The mechanic also sent me a really helpful video explaining what was wrong with my car, which I really appreciated. They got it fixed quickly and my car has now passes its NCT! Thanks so much to the whole team. Highly recommend! :)
