I found John O'Sullivan very easy to deal with, the whole process of selling my car was hassle free. John took care of everything and kept me informed along the way.

Fantastic service

Fantastic service. John has sold 4 cars for me over the last few years. All the stress and worries taken out of the sale. He got my recent car serviced , valeted, NCT completed and car sold for an excellent price within 2 weeks. Also thanks to Monica for her help. He is an absolute gentleman . Can’t recommend the service highly enough. JedThompson

Great service for selling your car

Great service for selling your car. I used Blackrock Motor Company (John) to sell my car when I emigrated. Couldn't recommend him enough. Was a perfect service with good communication throughout resulting in a positive outcome of the car being sold for a good price whilst I was already outside of the country. Thanks again to the Blackrock Motors Team.

deal with the real issues

Go-away now and deal with the substantial issue of you exploiting teenagers paying peanuts 🥜🥜🥜the lure of a company car 🚙 belonging to the unsuspecting that they left with you for to be sold. These cars getting trashed🛠️🛠️🛠️ in the process and as I write a Audi hatchback belonging to an unsuspecting being joyridden 🚘. I have photographic evidence📷 of this goings-on and its on-going as I write. It's down to paying peanuts🥜🥜 and dangling the use of a car; someone else's.
Someone getting hurt 🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕with no insurance cover will expose the lot. The unsuspecting public should be aware of what's going on. Keep your bull***💩💩 for the unsuspecting. Cheapskate's 😂😂🥱
And my family🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒 have first hand experience of this like how else would we know of threse shenanigans.

Recently dealt with John to buy a car

Recently dealt with John to buy a car. An absolute Gentleman to deal with the whole way through the sale. Delighted with my purchase, excellent car in pristine condition at a reasonable price, with warranty included. We would highly recommend Blackrock Motor Centre if you intend to buy a second hand car. Will definitely be sending others this way. Thanks John.

Blackrock motor company recently sold my car for me within 10 days of giving them my car to sell,
I was very lucky to be introduced to John O Sullivan proprietar, at a time when I was moving to Spain and didn’t know how to approach the sale of my car.
John’s approach was , let it all to them and I didn’t have to worry about anything.
And this is exactly what I did. He even went as far as driving me to the airport, where would you get it !!
If all motor companies were as efficient, professional, helpful as this company was, the motor industry would be a better place .
A 5* service in every way. Thanks a million John and staff for such a wonderful service,
Elaine

Car Sale

I recently sold my Mams car through Blackrock Motors. I got great advice and help on how best to sell the car and can't speak highly enough of the service. John took all of the stress out of the process for me. If you want to sell your car without any hassle, I would highly recommend John and his team at Blackrock Motors.

Get real like

Get real like, I got John & Monica (his other 1/2) to sell my brother's car, he had gone abroad & I got conned big time. John got more out of the sale than I did. John's charm offence led to the deal; he would get €1,000 commission out of the sale but in fact got €7,590 off me or the car. He conjured up a €1,600 repairs charge & vat charge of 23% of €13,000 amounted to €2,990. I was stunned when I went to collect the payment for the car; it amounted to €1,000 commission, €1,600 repairs + valeting & €2,990 vat charge tot €5,590. Best part I later found out my car was sold for €15,000 not the €13,000 as I was told & the charges never arose. Vat was never paid as John purchased my car unknown to me & sold it as his or the companies, thus no vat applied & same for the so called repairs & he got €15,000 not €13,000 as he claimed. €7,590 for acting as an intermediate is outrageous.I got no breakdown of charges, just a cheque for €7,410 for a car that I was offered €14,000 before BM got invol. I was scammed like.

It was a pleasure to meet John and avail of his expertise and knowledge in getting my car ready for sale as there was a small repair had to be carried out first. John sorted everything for me, taking away all the hastle for me which I really appreciated. He is a pure gentleman and all dealings are above board,
Communications were top class with regular updates and the end result left everyone happy.
I would have no problem in recommending John and his team and wish them all the best in the future.
