I have been in this garage twice In the last twenty years. Both times regarding worn tyres and as it's on my commute to work.
The first time the owner made a sexist comment something along the lines ' you would look good in a bikini' I was annoyed but shrugged it off as just an old lecherous idiot.
Several years later I had forgotten his behaviour and pulled in again. As I did I consoled myself with 'it was harmless enough' last time.
He provided me with the help I needed with my tyre. When he finished I walked into the office to pay. He was in there with another man, I felt he was a brother or nephew, family to him somehow. He started making explicitly sexual comments too me, 'I'd like to see you with your pants down etc. I was shocked and disgusted. The other man seemed to be entertained by this and was smirking. After a barrage of these comments he then refused to take payment for the repair.
I was so upset and shocked by his behaviour. Colleagues suggested calling the Garda but I felt so embarrassed i just didn't want to persue it, it would have been a further humiliation having to go over it again. This was in 2014.
Whenever I drive past the garage now I feel really angry and would love to give him a piece of my mind but I know it would be useless.
So if you are a woman, especially if you are alone do not go anywhere near this man or his garage,
