Re: big savings on marine service
I had received very friendly advise of a suzuki dealer in westport.
I then asked him on the cost of a service on my outboard.
I was amazed when he told me about 100-120 euro.
I now will be going to this dealer in future as some others are to expensive.

Re: big savings on marine service
The yard is just at the Artane roundabout. If you are coming up the Malahide Rd from town just go through the roundabout in Coolock direction. There is a little turn about 10mts past the roundabout. The lads are in the industrial estate there. They do not work on Mondays.

Re: big savings on marine service
I've now merged the topic from jim's link into this one. For clarity & ease of reference.
So, it'd be pretty pointless clicking on that link now in jim's post.
