Garage near Stradbally

Looking for a garage near Stradbally? N80 Auto Centre is an independent workshop in Crannagh, about 10 minutes outside Stradbally, Co. Laois. Franc and the team look after full and interim servicing, diagnostics, NCT preparation, brakes, suspension and steering, clutch and timing belts, and general mechanical repairs.

Plain answers, clear booking, and work explained before it starts — that is how we run things.

Why drivers near Stradbally choose N80 Auto Centre

We are based in Crannagh on the N80 corridor, so Stradbally drivers are not sent halfway across the county for routine work. You get a local mechanic who knows the workshop, not a call centre booking queue.

What you can expect:

• Straightforward advice on what the car needs (and what it does not)
• Full and interim servicing, oil and filter changes, and road safety checks
• Warning-light and engine diagnostics when something feels off
• Pre-NCT checks aimed at common fail items — without promising a pass
• Brake, suspension, steering, clutch and timing-belt work as listed on our site

If a job sits outside what we can do well, we will say so when we assess the vehicle.

Services for Stradbally drivers

Car servicing & mechanical repairs

Book a full or interim service for engines, fluids, filters, brakes, suspension and safety inspections. We also handle oil and filter changes, exhaust and cooling work, battery replacement, air conditioning service, and pre-purchase inspections.

Fleet and light commercial vehicles are listed too — call to talk through the van or small fleet. See also fleet maintenance.

Diagnostics & warning lights

Engine light on, ABS light, or a car that is running rough? Diagnostics start with listening to the symptoms, then testing — not guesswork.

NCT preparation

Due for the test? Our NCT preparation covers lights, brakes, suspension, emissions-related items we can address, and safety checks. We cannot guarantee an NCT pass — the official test centre decides. We prepare and repair; we do not run the official test on site.

Failed already? Bring the report and we will look at what falls within our mechanical remit. Read more in our NCT common fails guide.

Brakes, suspension, clutch & timing belts

• Brake repairs including pads and discs
• Suspension and steering repairs
• Clutch replacement and timing belts
