Des Golden Specialist Cars – Cork's Premier German Vehicle Specialist Garage
“Setting and maintaining standards others seek to achieve.” Des Golden
Des Golden Specialist Cars is quite simply a cut above other independent garages for maintenance, repairs, and upgrades for Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Porsche and VW models (including electric and hybrid models). Our stellar reputation across Ireland and Northern Ireland has been earned by following the above mantra from owner and founder, Des Golden. We are the only Porsche-accredited independent, garage in Ireland, and Ireland’s only authorised Akrapovic agent and Ecotune dealer. Our army of loyal customers wouldn’t consider any other garage for their high-performance and/or prestige cars, and many travel the length of the country for our services.
