Doran Motors gear up for open weekend
If you’ve been thinking about upgrading your car, there's one event in the motoring calendar you won’t want to miss: Doran Motors’ Open Weekend in Carrickmacross, taking place this weekend October 18-19.
The long-established dealership is inviting customers old and new to explore the latest models from Hyundai, Škoda, and Citroën — three of Ireland’s most trusted and innovative car brands.
Doran Motors has been a cornerstone of motoring in Monaghan for over 40 years, known for its personalised service, expert advice, and genuine passion for matching people with the right car. Now, with the arrival of the new 261 registrations and strong interest in electric and hybrid options, the team is ready to showcase what the next generation of driving looks like.
An opportunity to explore – No pressure, just possibilities
The Open Weekend is designed with the customer in mind: relaxed, informative, and a great way to get behind the wheel of a new car. You can expect test drives, exclusive offers, and the chance to talk to experienced staff about finance options, trade-in values, and government grants available for electric vehicles.
“Whether you're a first-time buyer, a family looking for more space, or someone ready to go electric, this is the perfect time to visit,” says Carol Kerr, Sales Director at Doran Motors. “It’s a friendly, informal atmosphere — people can take their time, ask questions, and see what feels right for them.”
Something for every driver
Between the three brands they represent, Doran Motors really does have something for everyone.
Hyundai continues to impress Irish drivers with sleek, tech-forward models like the Tucson, Ioniq 5, and Kona Electric — blending style and efficiency with premium features.
Škoda offers practicality and value in equal measure, with standout models such as the Octavia, Fabia, the family-favourite Kodiaq SUV and its newer electric options; the Elroq and the Enyaq.
And for those who like to stand out, Citroën delivers comfort and personality with the C3 Aircross, C5 Aircross, and the fully electric ë-C4.
From traditional petrol and diesel models to hybrids and full EVs, the choices are more exciting than ever.
In an age of online car shopping and impersonal service,
Doran Motors offers something different: real people, real advice, and long-term support. Buying local means expert aftersales care, access to genuine parts, certified servicing, and the kind of trust that comes from decades of doing things the right way.
So whether you're actively shopping for a new car or simply curious about what's new on the road, Doran Motors' Open Weekend on October 18-19 is the perfect time to explore your options.
Drop by the showroom on the Kingscourt Road, Carrickmacross, enjoy a coffee, and see what’s on offer — no pressure, just great cars and friendly faces.
