I would like to leave a very positive review for Colum Murphy.
He is a very professional and very good person. His approach is very friendly and help us to choose the right car for us! Highly recommend him!
Thank you again Colum for my new Transporter PanAmericana.

I’ve been a customer of Joe Ferguson at Bright Motors for almost 20 years. From
Ford to Volkswagen commercials, Joe is the commercial Van specialist I’ve trusted all these years. Our selection of a new VW Transporter T7 was an easy  choice for us. From order to delivery combined with the ease of purchase with VW Bank Financial services,  Joe handled it all. We have referred Joe to many of our friends and colleagues over the years. All have purchased from Joe. Need I say any more. Even our boss Larry has approved yet again! Thanks Joe.!

I bought a Crafter LWB in Bright VW Commercial Vehicles over 1 year ago. During last 18 months I had some minor warranty work done, full service twice and very recently some additional mechanical work was carried out too. So, my 6-star review is NOT based on a single visit. The van was sold by Colm Murphy; from the very beginning he was a pleasure to deal with. Returns all calls, gives all necessary updates and overall keeps you informed of everything. Great aftersales service too - Colm straight away points you in the right direction when you have some questions and are not sure who to talk to at the dealership.
Moving on to service dept. I have dealt with Orla Kealy every single time the van had some work done. An absolute pleasure to deal with and she has a great level of technical knowledge. Any issues I had were promptly diagnosed and resolved. Any additional work and costs are always discussed with you beforehand, so there are no unpleasant surprises when paying the final bill. I have worked in the motor trade for the last 20 years and have dealt with countless dealerships during that time.  I wish that more of them were like the dealership in question. In Bright VW you get a very high standard of work + absolutely lovely service from everybody involved starting from the 1st contact at reception desk. This is why I prefer to go 200km one way to Swords than to any other local VW main dealer.

Worst place to buy a car from.

Was told that service will be done in 1 week, called multiple times and was told that there is extra time needed, total time waited for the car to be serviced was 3 weeks. After i had to receive an invoice, was told im getting an invoice the following day, called multiple times and got it after 1 week.

Got the car superglued on the bumper, the wheels were painted random and now they are wavy, and the car got extra 1000km on the board and they lie they didn’t even drove it.

Went to a different service afterwards to check if all the “service” mentioned in the invoice were done, and found multiple issues that were not fixed.

Called back to them to get the car fixed properly because i have guarantee on it, and they said that “i had to book an appointment to get another vehicle until mine is getting fixed” but i was never told that i need an appointment, i had appointment to get the car fixed that should go together with an appointment on a vehicle that i can use until mine is fixed.

Claiming without evidence that I tampered with the water system on my VW California Grand, in spite of evidence that Trinity VW in Wicklow carried out work on the water system. This VW branch are refusing to carry out warranty work on a bogus claim, so I've had to get lawyers involved. It's taken so long despite contacting them months ago that it is now outside of warranty, and so they're now also using this as an excuse.

Between VW Liffey, Sandford Commercial & Trinity, this 100k cash investment while bringing me many memories on the road has given me nothing but nightmares with their various garages. It is no surprise car manufacturers are taking action against many branded dealerships & garages here in Ireland.

Why one star? If I have to lawyer up to get a warrenty repair having being called a liar, I consider this pretty much 1 star service.

Nader was very kind and helpful to me buying my first car at Frank Keane Volkswagen. He made it a very straight forward process that was easy to understand. I would definitely return to him in the future!

We had the pleasure of dealing with Nader, who was extremely knowledgeable and offered plenty of helpful advice, particularly as we were buying our first electric vehicle. The whole process was very straightforward, with no unexpected surprises. Everything was smooth and handled in a highly professional manner. I would have no hesitation in returning to Frank Keane - and to Nader in particular - in the future.

We had an excellent experience in changing car recently. Our dealings were mainly with Meja O’Connor who was superb in helping us through the process which was complex with scrappage scheme. She was highly professional, helpful, friendly, reassuring and kept us informed regularly. I also than Megan for her help with finances and governance. Happy to recommend Frank Keane VW as a result.

I cannot recommend Conor and Megan at Frank Keane highly enough.

From start to finish, they both went above and beyond to help me secure my new car. What could have been a stressful process was made so much easier thanks to their professionalism, patience, communication and genuine commitment to helping me every step of the way.

They invested an incredible amount of time and effort into finding a finance solution that worked for me, keeping me informed throughout and never making me feel like just another customer. Their determination, positivity and support made all the difference.

The entire process was smooth, efficient and handled with the highest level of customer care. Nothing was too much trouble, and they genuinely shared in my excitement when everything finally came together.

I absolutely love my new car and I'm so grateful to Conor and Megan for making it happen. The service I received was exceptional from beginning to end, and I would have no hesitation in recommending Frank Keane to anyone looking for a new vehicle.

Thank you both for going the extra mile – it was truly appreciated!

I had a good experience with Volkswagen Sandyford. The team was professional, helpful, and made the process straightforward without any pressure. A special thanks to Kyle O’Leary, who provided excellent customer service, answered my questions clearly, and kept me updated throughout. Overall, a positive experience, and I’d be happy to recommend the dealership.

I had an excellent experience working with Shane from Frank Keane Volkswagen when purchasing my new VW Tiguan. From the very beginning, he was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful. He made the entire process smooth and stress-free.

I was especially impressed with how fair and straightforward the trade-in process was. Shane made sure I felt confident and comfortable with the numbers, and there were no surprises. He also went above and beyond to help with the financing, clearly explaining all the options and making sure I got a deal that worked for me.

Overall, the level of professionalism and customer service was outstanding. I’m extremely happy with my new car and highly recommend asking for Shane if you’re in the market for a vehicle!

Had a fantastic experience buying my Golf with Meja at Frank Keane. Meja was so thoughtful throughout the whole process, and the little details made it extra special. When I collected the car, she had beautiful flowers and chocolates waiting inside, along with a lovely new bow on the front of the car. Such a memorable touch and I’m absolutely delighted with everything. Highly recommend Meja and the team at Frank Keane!

Never had a worst experience with a garage! Went out twice to test drive 2 separate 2023 Tiguan R Lines Petrol Plug in. Was told on both occasions that the car I was buying would take a fast charger, would take 1 hour to fully charge and the range on the car would be 100km/120km. I paid for the car, waited 2 weeks as the log book wasn’t in the dealership. Was told buy the sales associate that he would do anything to help me so I asked him could he deliver the car as I’ve just had twins, which was no problem til the day it was ready. He rang and told me he was finished work at 5 o'clock and would deliver it then, he then rang at 5 o’clock the same day and said he couldn’t deliver it and it was there if I wanted to make my way to collect it. I did go collect it myself. Went and charged the car the next day a full charge was 4 hr 15 minutes, this car did not take a fast charger and the range for a full charge was 45km. I was sold a completely different car. I rang the sales associate to be told he was sorry there is a new version which had a “face lift” that he was telling me all about but unfortunately he got mixed up between 2 different year cars. The phone call ended with him telling me to just plug it in every evening and he’s sorry for the mix up. It was laughable at this point. I didn’t buy this car of the side of the road, it was bought in a main dealership. The car was handed straight back to them the same day. Absolutely disgrace wasting someone’s time like this. Really need to put there staff through some training on the cars there selling. Would never set foot back in the place.

** BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND MISLEADING

I am not happy with my first experience in this garage and based of the reviews I can see the majority of people are not happy either seems the same complaints in regards to the service. There is an engine light on my VW PASSAT a few months I tried to get this fixed in a garage 3 times and each time the fault light keeps coming back on so I said it would be best to get a VW garage to check it out and let me know what the problem would be. When I looked at the booking system online I wasn’t sure what to book in for so I phoned the reception and explained the issue with my engine light that I don’t know what’s causing it etc and she advised to book in for the vehicle health check online ( the free service) she said sure they can check it for you then and go from there getting booked in  I said perfect that’s what I was looking for so I got off the phone and booked online for what she told me and booked a slot for today at 1pm. I received a confirmation email on the day of booking with the time slot for my car and also an email yesterday to say what exactly was the issue with the car which I then replied to and explained In full,  and I DIDN'T get an email back. So I had to take time off work and flew the garage the next day for my appointment slot at 1pm. To be told that I don’t have any appointment booked in and what I would need is a diagnostic check for €190 euro ( WHICH ISNT AN OPTION TO BOOK ON THE WEBSITE???) that even if I book online it doesn’t mean an appointment is confirmed? My issue is here if the team emailed me the day before asking what the issue is (knowing my appointment is in 24 hours)  I explained the issue and never got an email back so the garage were happy for me to waste my time and show up the next day for an appointment that was never booked. If the team knew they couldn’t fit me in or I booked for the wrong service why not ring me or email me? This is a joke!  Also I said to the girl at the service desk that the receptionist had advised me to book for this service based off the issue and her reply was that well our receptionist  wouldn’t have told you to do that, why would I make something like that up? I explained also my call would be recorded I can provide a date and time of it  they should check it to see that their receptionists are giving out correct information then. They then said they can fit me in for my diagnostics in a months time but there’s no way I would give money to this  garage to fix my car so unprofessional, proving misleading information without taken zero responsibility! Very bad service I would not recommend.

Tl:Dr A main-dealer service that left me stranded the very next day.

If I could give negative 5 stars, I would but I can't.

Reading through all the reviews makes me wonder a lot of things, even all the good reviews are not even real.. Look at the likes on the real reviews..  incredible how many people have had the same or worse experience as us.. incompetent customer service, poor after sales service, unskilled technicians working on the cars...

We bought our Volkswagen from Joe Duffy Volkswagen Finglas in March last year, and it’s been serviced exclusively with them under the Volkswagen Service Plan. Yesterday (Friday, 17 October 2025) was only our second scheduled service since buying the car and less than 24 hours later, it broke down completely.

The engine light came on, the car became undriveable, and AA through Volkswagen Assistance had to collect it. The AA technician said the air pump hadn’t been fitted correctly, which can cause several engine problems.

This isn’t the first time we’ve had issues here. On a previous visit, they replaced the wrong puddle light instead of fixing the faulty one, leaving two different lights and one still misaligned. The car was kept for ages and handed back unfinished, with nothing but a “complimentary clean.”

Every time there’s an issue, there’s never a replacement car available. They always say there’s a six-week waiting list, leaving you completely stuck while they try to fix problems they caused in the first place.

To make matters worse, the staff at the office are generally unpleasant to deal with. You never get the feeling anyone actually wants to help. You’d be lucky to even get someone to answer the phone at reception unless you’re trying to buy something from them.

We’ve already reached out to them several times before and given them every chance to put things right, but after the car broke down immediately after a full service, this was the final straw. The lack of care, attention, and responsibility is honestly shocking for a Volkswagen main dealer, especially when the car was both purchased and serviced (twice) through them.

Volkswagen Assistance Case #2025244076.

Before they post the usual “please reach out so we can look after you” message — I’ll actually be emailing Joe Duffy Volkswagen Finglas directly after posting this review, attaching the same details and case number.

If you see a generic reply here, just know they’ve already been contacted and can find all the details in that email. I’ll update this review promptly with any genuine follow-up.

Customers deserve accountability and professionalism, not excuses and copy-and-paste responses.

Update (20 October 2025):

> Since posting this review, I’ve had multiple calls from Joe Duffy Volkswagen Finglas — all giving contradictory information and showing no communication between departments. One person didn’t know why the car was towed, another insisted replacement cars are “always available,” and another asked how the car was after service, even though it had already broken down.

Dwayne (Service Manager) later confirmed the breakdown was caused by an unclipped air-pump connection after the air-filter change — clear evidence of poor workmanship.

When I collected the car, I found water damage and dirt on the passenger seat, still damp. The senior service manager, Caoloc, inspected it but denied responsibility, claiming it arrived that way — completely untrue, as I have active Carmour and seat-protection plans and the car was spotless when dropped off.

After much discussion, they agreed to recheck the seats and puddle lights, but still provided no written acknowledgment of either the fault or the damage. I was even told, “We would have dropped the car up to you – nobody asked you to take time off,” which perfectly sums up their attitude.

I’ve now escalated this to Volkswagen Ireland Customer Care for formal review. Between the confirmed fault, the new interior damage, and the complete lack of accountability, this experience shows serious quality-control and communication issues at this dealership.

I took my car to Volkswagen Swords for an oil change. I was told the service would take one day, but it ended up taking two days before I got my car back.

Before leaving the car, I also informed them that the front sensor warning light was on and asked them to check it. This is the second time I have taken my car there for the same issue, and once again, they didn't even look at it.

When I finally collected the car, they told me the brakes needed to be replaced, but they didn't have the parts in stock, so they couldn't do the repair. What really disappointed me was that they warned me that if anything happened in the meantime, it would be my responsibility. They also said they would call me the following day to arrange the repair, but nobody ever called.

The maintenance department lacks organization, communication, and accountability. It feels like the team needs better management and supervision to provide the level of customer service that customers expect.

It's very disappointing because you expect a main Volkswagen dealership to provide solutions, not create more problems or leave customers without answers.

Overall, I cannot recommend their service based on my experience.

I recently had several visits to the service department at Volkswagen Airside over a short period of time with my Tiguan, and I wanted to share my experience.

Firstly, I would like to recognise the staff on the ground — the service advisors and technicians were professional, helpful, and the quality of the work carried out appears to be very good. Communication during visits was clear, and the car was returned in good condition each time.

However, I was disappointed with the overall customer care from a management perspective. Over the course of roughly 2–3 months, I spent in excess of €3,300 on maintenance and repairs through the dealership, choosing the main dealer route specifically for peace of mind and long-term care of the vehicle.

Following this level of spend, I reached out to enquire about any form of customer loyalty or goodwill support but did not receive any response. Even a simple acknowledgement or follow-up would have made a difference.

While I appreciate the quality of the work and the professionalism of the staff, I feel there is a missed opportunity when it comes to looking after returning customers who are clearly committed to maintaining their vehicles within the Volkswagen network.

Overall, a positive experience at service level, but disappointing from a customer relationship perspective.

There should be a ZERO star option for the likes of this place. Took my car there for a service, part of the service included a wash and hoover but they never did it. Instead I got back a diagnostic sheet with a number items that needed "urgent attention" totalling nearly 3k. I was quite shocked by this as we had the car less then a year. Anyway we took the car to two other dealers for a second opinion and guess what... There was absolutely nothing wrong with the car. Folks please AVOID this place at all costs. Bring your car to the local farmer before you consider bringing it here. *AVOID, AVOID, AVOID*

Today, when I arrived at Volkswagen Swords and sat near the parts room, the staff member told me, “You’re sitting at my desk,” instead of directing me properly. When I went into the parts room, the parts manager, who was very grumpy, refused to give me a timeline for my part, even after four days of waiting. When I asked for a refund, he told me to wait outside. Sitting back down first staff member gave me a dirty look and told me to get up and leave his desk. Managers excuse was your disturbing him on a phone call. Finally, I got my refund, and the same female manager accused me of having a bad attitude as I wasn’t happy about how I was spoken too. When I explained what happened she took no responsibility for the team’s behaviour and never acknowledged the poor treatment from the staff only evaluated my response to abusive treatment. When Volkswagen Ireland contacted the manager here she denied everything and told Volkswagen Ireland that it was my fault with no explanation as to why. Would never buy a car off them again.  Folks read others reviews too we can’t all be wrong.
