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.

I bought a used Ford Fiesta from here, and Fergal made the whole process so easy! He was such a lovely gentleman to deal with, and answered all my questions thoroughly. The car is (and still is) a 10/10. Highly recommend buying from Barlo Ford Clonmel!

I bought a used Ford Explorer EV here completely sight unseen. Fergal made the whole process seamless, answering all my questions over the phone.
When I went to collect the car, the process was so easy. The car was in perfect, spotless condition. Buying a car without seeing it requires a lot of trust, and Fergal completely earned it. Highly recommend asking for him if you’re looking for top-class service!

I recently bought a Ford Capri from Barlo Motors in Clonmel. I have to say that the whole process from my initial inquiry to actually driving out the gate in my new car was so stressless and positive. Thanks to Fergal for his very prompt communication and for giving me a very fair price for my trade in. I have dealt with a few garages in my time but Barlo Motors really stood out as being so personable and genuine. A real pleasure to deal with.

Fergal at Barlo Motors is second to none! We bought a new Ranger this week and he made it his mission in life to ensure that we had nothing to do only send over a few docs and then simply drive it away. He did everything for us! If stress free car buying is what you're after then I highly recommend Barlo Motors. Thanks Fergal & Team 😊

I recently purchased a 2020 Ford Mondeo from Barlo Motors, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! The car is absolutely fantastic – smooth drive, stylish design, and everything I hoped for. A special thanks to Fergal, who made the entire process seamless and enjoyable. His professionalism, knowledge, and genuine care stood out from the start. He took the time to ensure I was completely happy with my purchase and answered all my questions with ease.

Barlo Motors delivers not just quality vehicles but top-tier customer service. Highly recommended!
