Suzuki Ireland is pleased to welcome Barlo Suzuki as a new partner in its 25 strong dealer network. The Kilkenny-based motor dealer, which became a Suzuki authorised repairer in October 2024, now offers a full Suzuki new and used vehicle range and aftersales service.
Barlo Suzuki, which is situated on Dublin Road, is led by Dealer Principal and Director, Liam Martin, and owned by brothers Alan and Ivan Barlo. Originally established by their father over 80 years ago in 1944, the company sold farm machinery and diversified into cars in 1989.
Barlo Suzuki operates from a 120sq metre showroom space, accommodating six vehicles and a sales office, service reception and customer waiting room. The service and parts area of the dealership, which is shared with the dealer’s Nissan facility, includes a 350sq metre workshop, a diagnostic ramp and 200sq metre parts area.
David Kateley, Director Automobile, Suzuki GB and Suzuki Ireland commented: “We’re delighted to welcome Barlo Suzuki to our dealer network in Ireland following its addition as an Authorised Service Repairer last year. The business has been serving the area of Kilkenny for over 80 years now and we’re thrilled to have the group on board to deliver Suzuki’s renowned quality, vehicle range and exceptional customer service.”
Liam Martin, Dealer Principal at Barlo Suzuki added: “Suzuki is an excellent fit for our business as our values and dedication of providing outstanding service and experience align perfectly. We look forward to working closely with the Suzuki Ireland team and bringing the full Suzuki range to the community we serve here in Kilkenny and the surrounding areas.”
