that's what I call a good deal, hard to find guys like this nowadays, especially car mechanics, oh well, story of my life I suppose

[twinkle]

Told the guys at ddm marine about the site. They were chuffed, they said anyone who goes to them and mentions sea angling ireland will get 10% off their bill there. Nice lads.

well done twinkle, good man

I've made this a sticky for a while, I reckon it deserves a run at the top till there's some more feedback from other users. I've edited the important bit to colour red also, to stand out.

Nice to see some good old-fashioned client care still surviving in this country.

Hi Guys ! I took your advice and brought my shetland to the guys in coolock for pre season service check and trailer wheel bearings and it was well worth my while their attention to detail is brilliant and very reasonable rates too , yard is handy to turn in too . Thanks again !

[howthhead]

Just forgot to say that when i mentioned this site i got 10 % DISCOUNT on what was already a very fair price . thanks guys !

[twinkle]

i told you these guys know there stuff and are really down to earth with there prices when i asked how there so cheap
they told me they are not trying to sell me anything they are mechanics not marine salesmen they charge for the parts and there labour and not in to rip off 2 really sound guys

[Gary Morton]

Do they do electrics or can you buy the likes of fishfinders etc from them?

[twinkle]

they dont sell fishfinders but a quick phone call they will tell you if they can fix one 087 7652678 ask for derek dont forget to tell them sea angling ireland sent you

[thescotsman]

Just to say thanks for the post and to Tanglerat for mentioning it to me. I was looking for a prop as per this post http://www.sea-angling-ireland.org/bulletin%20board/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=21675 and Derek was 66+Vat cheaper for a prop than the main yamaha dealer, so he gets my vote and was quick to get back to me with price etc and seems like a nice guy.

dont have a boat(yet ) but its great to see 2 lads just out to make an honest living and giving guys value for money,keep it up guys and great post.

[howthhead]

Re no boat yet , when i was getting work done the lads in coolock had a few reasonably priced angling boats in the yard i think some of their customers store them there as well .

[twinkle]

lads i know i keep blowing the trumpet about these guys but have to tell you this.i broke a small part inside the engine controling the trottle the time factor for a replacment was 6 to8 weeks. derek took the part got it aluminium welded
and came out to the boat in howth and fitted it he wanted to see why it had snapped turns out the reason was the controller was the problem but he done this while he was supposed to be on holidays he arrived with his wife and daughter
i have never been given a service like this anywhere. these lads deserve all the praise and bussiness we can give them
keep it up ddm and thanks so much
