Barlo Engineering trading as Clonmel Engineering Works was started by Matt Barlow in 1944 (father of Sean Barlow) .The original premises was in Emmet Street, Clonmel which is where Superquinn Shopping Centre is now located.

The company's first major achievement came in 1948 when we were appointed Main Distributors for David Brown tractors and Claas combine harvesters. This contract meant we were the sole distributors for counties Tipperary, Kilkenny and Waterford for David Brown and Class.

Business kept going from strength to strength during the 1960's and 1970's, and in 1978 , the newly named Barlo Farm Machinery moved it's Clonmel premises to a brand new facility which was opened by Mr Jim Gibbons, the then Minister for Agriculture.

Barlo Farm Machinery served the farming community with great pride from it's 5 branches, namely Clonmel, Kilkenny, Thurles, Tipperary Town and Dungarvan right up to the early 2000's. A new generation of the Barlow family were coming through ,and in 1989 , Barlo Motors was appointed as Main Ford dealer for South Tipperary.  The ' Barlo' name meant a lot to people and it was seen as a great move forward for the area to have Barlo Motors selling Ford cars and commercials. Sadness came in 2002 when Dealer Principal Ray Barlow passed away after a short illness. The company re-grouped and Alan and Ivan Barlow came to the helm and this is still how things are today.

The Barlo motto from the start was ' Treat Your Customer As You Would Like To Be Treated Yourself ' and this has worked well as we still deal with many grandchildren of original customer's back in the 1940's.

Honestly I had the most pleasant experience. It’s not easy buying a new car, but Jamie Driver our sales person went above and beyond to help. I totally trusted him and will definitely make a return in a few years . Well done Jamie, we LOVE our car.

Very professional and efficient service. After initial inspection of the car Brian was directly in contact explaining what needed to be done and the breakdown and cost of each job which was appreciated. Other garages I've dealt with in the past would just do the work without consultation,then surprise you with a big bill. Can't recommend Barlo Hyundai highly enough.

great staff in this dealership/ recommend Keith in sales and the service lads are great too. btw sit in Dunnes next door while you wait for your service.

Very professional operation. Brendan was very good to deal with, very responsive in terms of emails and communication.
Well done to all in Barlo.

Took delivery of new Tucson executive + mild hybrid last week.
Good: Car is fantastic, everything I wanted plus much more. So far can’t fault anything important.
Not so good:
Delivery too slow (3.5 weeks). Should be max 2 weeks. Not sure if local or national issue.
Salesman good but lack of communication and update on delivery was annoying and frustrating. As they used to say in school reports “could do better “
As with every car I ever owned, manual could be improved. Confusing as covers different models and difficult to find some info
