In an industry where poor customer service and unhelpful attitudes is far too common, Dalton's Performance Shop is a complete breath of fresh air. Their customer service is top-notch, incredibly knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful. From offering me a loaner car after traveling from Dublin to providing clear guidance on the best upgrades for my car, they went above and beyond to exceed all expectations

If you’re looking for trusted, high-quality performance upgrades or car maintenance, Dalton’s is 100% the place to go. Would highly recommend, and I will be making the trip from Dublin again.

This is my 3rd consecutive car purchase from Daltons, During that time they have also completed all of my maintenance and repair work, Tadgh, George and the rest of the crew are welcoming, knowledgeable and a pleasure to deal with. I couldn't honestly see myself going anywhere else. Cheers lads.

Dalton's get my highest of recommendations. Their staff where professional and efficient. A fantastic team to deal with. My car came back feeling brand new thanks, to the great advise from Dominic in parts, and the exceptional mechanical skills of George. Look forward to dealing with the team again.

I rang Dalton Car Sales to enquire about a Skoda Kodiaq Sportline I had spotted that had been advertised online for less than an hour when I called (Saturday 12/10/24). I spoke with Dave who informed me that I was the first call on the car and as such that I could have the first viewing and opportunity to buy the car. I supplied pictures and details of the car I have to trade in. A short while later, Dave got back to me with a reasonable cost to change and it was arranged that I could view the car on Tuesday when it would be fully valeted. I rang on Monday at lunch time to confirm my appointment and it was confirmed by Dave for the following day. I asked if the car might be ready to view on Monday evening and Dave told me he would check that out and get back to me by 3pm that day. At 4.30pm, Dave called to say that the car I had a confirmed appointment to view was instead now going to be sold to a family member who had seen it and that my interest in the car was appreciated but no longer an option. I was both shocked and dismayed to go from the buyer in pole position to absolutely nothing.
To say I am disappointed in the way my business was handled and valued is an understatement. Dave was polite throughout all interactions, however, that doesn't change the fact that I was the first to enquire, gain first refusal on the car, supplied details and organised the trade in on my own car and reorganised my days to attend my confirmed appointment to hopefully purchase the car. It's perfectly understandable to sell cars to family members, however, I think if you have confirmed first refusal and booked an appointment with a customer you should stand over it regardless of who spots the car afterwards. I can't rate the company on their car as I never got to view it. Overall, my time and money spent on researching their car (online vehicle check report) was wasted. Very disappointing.
Regarding the overall star rating - I was left with very little choice.

Absolutely hate writing this and if Dave had been working it would not have happened. Long story short I've been recommending these guys for year's from Boards.ie, Facebook etc and have been using them myself...

Phoned up looking for DSG oil change price and spoke to George himself who said it would be under 200 quid. Arrived anyway to be greeted by Ray the absolute pxx, a big change from Dave.... Took them from 9am until 3pm to do the job along with Air Con diagnostic which was also overpriced.

Got the bill and 240 for the DSG change, questioned Ray and he didn't want to hear about George's price, in fact he was such a horrible pxx.

Phoned Dave a few weeks later when I cooled down as I had a 5.5 hour round trip to be fcuked around by George and he confirmed the price I was charged.

Moral of the story talk to Dave he is a absolute Gentleman but Ray and George not so much. I think George was miffed as I done a 5.5 hour trip to look at a Q8 and didn't buy it so maybe he thought i was wasting his time also.

Anyway lesson learned not even an apology from George after all the year's from recommendations.
