General Manager Seamus Reilly is pleased to report that all the hard work going into the business is showing and with the improvement in the economy the centre is very busy.

“Our business is built mainly on repeat custom. We have customers coming to us for many, many years and our aim is always to ensure they get a service that they are more than happy with,” said Seamus.

“We are pleased with how the business is going. Our customers have stayed loyal to us over the years, so we must be doing something right. 

“Our reputation has been built on the fact that our word is our bond and if we say we will do something then it will be done without any hassle.”

Part of the CVRT Network since 1980, Cavan Motors is in an ideal location which adds to the popularity and success of the business.

“Our location has played a huge part in the success of the business, being situation on the Ballinagh Rd on the outskirts of the town means there is a lot of passing trade, while we have plenty of room at the premises also.”

As mentioned, Cavan Motors operate a CVRT test centre that consists of two lanes, one for light commercials and the other for heavy goods’ vehicles.

“We have two testers working here full time. We test all light commercials and heavy commercials. The testers are experienced and they go on refresher courses every year to ensure that they are up to date with all the changes that are being introduced on a regular basis. We are open Monday to Friday from 9am to 6pm, finishing at 5pm on a Friday. 

“With regards to our customer base in the CVRT section, we would look after many haulage firms in the area. We also provide pre-tests and 12-week checks for our customers. There are always new regulations being introduced and the legislation is always changing, so it is essential that we keep up to date with all these changes and inform our customers of these.”

Seamus added that their state of the art workshop is fully equipped and is updated with new machinery when needed.

“Our workshop is fully equipped with all the leading technology to carry out services, maintenance and the testing. The  technicians in the garage provide commercial vehicle repairs which complements the CRVT side of the business offering competitive quotations for work required and ensuring a very quick turnaround all under one roof.”
