Superb experience from beginning to end. We bought a car for our daughter for xmas, and they kept the car until we were ready, prepped it and also arranged the private plate. Best car dealer I've used.

I've purchased 2 cars from this place once back in 2013 - 2014 and again in 2019. both cars i never had any mechanical problems with, the only thing i can say about the cars they sell here is make sure you give them a good inspection. my current car from ian farrell, the 12v socket was naff, the rear window heating grid was damaged (didn't realise this until winter came) the plastic clips that held the wing mirror cover was snapped (was pushed back in place to look fine) same situation with the rear right side bumper.

Purchased a vauxhall mokka in nice condition but they say all cars go through a 122 point check this must not include the air con because when delivered by there delivery there was a pool of water under the car the delivery was 4 hours late so unfortunately I was not in to see this anyway the air con has a strange hissing sound when on and the air isn't cold Thanks for the reply I did not contact yourselves because your warranty says it does not cover the ac , and I do realise after a long journey a pool of water can appear under the car but like I said the air con is now hissing and blowing

Purchased car today from Ian Farrells. Very impressed with how the cars are presented in the showroom. We were assisted by Stuart, who was very knowledgeable, and very professional. The transaction went smoothly and efficiently. We would have no hesitation in recommending them, and we would definitely use them again if changing our vehicle.
