About us
Built in Abbeyleix. Trusted across Ireland.
Since 2012 we have grown from a local HGV mechanic into one of the country’s trusted heavy vehicle service companies, with a team of 10 and a 24/7 breakdown line.
Our story
Our priority is simple: keep commercial vehicles moving safely.
Philip Doogue Mechanical Services was established in 2012. From our headquarters in Abbeyleix, Co. Laois, we now support customers right across Ireland with HGV repairs, preventative fleet maintenance, 24/7 breakdown assistance and roadside recovery.
We work for haulage companies, construction contractors, agricultural businesses, local authorities and independent owner-operators. Every one of them needs the same thing from us: less downtime.
Our reputation has been built on rapid response times, dependable work and good customer service. Whether it is scheduled fleet maintenance or an emergency breakdown anywhere in the country, the goal is always to get the vehicle back in service as quickly and safely as possible.
