Yes. NCT prep is one of our most requested jobs. We check the car over, fix the things the centre will fail (steering, brakes, emissions, tyres, lights, wipers, glass, suspension) and send you in with a much better chance of passing first time. A lot of our customers pick the car up with a clean cert the same week.

We're at 2 Shamrock Villas, Harold's Cross, Dublin 6W. Customers come in from Harold's Cross, Terenure, Rathmines, Crumlin, Kimmage, Templeogue, Rathgar, Ballsbridge, Drimnagh, Walkinstown and most of south Dublin. If you're within 15 minutes of Harold's Cross, you're local to us.

For bigger jobs like engine work, body repairs, paint or NCT prep, ring 087-256-7426 so we can book a bay and get you sorted the same day. For small stuff like an oil change or quick check, you can usually call in and we'll fit you in if the ramp is free.

All of them. We've been fixing everything from old minis to company Teslas since 1990. Volkswagen, Toyota, Ford, Hyundai, Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Skoda, Nissan, Honda, Mazda, Kia. If it's plated and has an engine, we'll look at it.

Always. We inspect the car, write down what we found, what we'll do and what it'll cost, then ring you for the go-ahead before anything goes on the ramp. If we spot something else mid-job, we ring again. No surprise additions on the invoice.

Both. Bodywork, dent removal, panel beating, computerized paint matching, full resprays, alloy wheel refinishing and powder coating, all done here. That's the advantage of using Parklane: you don't have to bounce between a mechanic and a separate body shop.

We opened in 1990 at the same spot in Harold's Cross. Family-run, now into the second generation. Plenty of our customers have been coming to us for over twenty years, and now they're bringing their kids' first cars too.

Cash or card, whichever suits. Pay over the phone beforehand or in person when you collect the car.
