About Alan Dawson Autoworks,
your Navan garage.
Alan Dawson built this business on a simple promise: do the job right, explain it in plain words, and charge what was quoted. Everything else grew from that.
The workshop
A Navan garage for all makes and models.
The workshop in Harristown runs by appointment, which means your vehicle gets a bay, a plan and a mechanic's full attention, not a spot in a queue. We service and repair all makes and models, cars, vans and 4x4s included, with the latest Launch diagnostic equipment on every job.
A lot of our name was made on working vans, the Transporters, Crafters, Sprinters and Vitos that carry Irish trades to work every morning. When a van is your income, you need it diagnosed honestly, fixed once, and back out the gate. That is the standard the whole workshop runs on, whatever badge is on the bonnet.
It shows in the reviews: 14 Google reviews, every one of them five stars.

The recovery line
24/7 breakdown recovery across Meath and Louth.
Plenty of garages promise recovery and then ring a subcontractor. We run our own flatbed, driven by our own people, insured and certified for damage-free recovery. That is why main dealers trust us with brand-new deliveries, and why the phone gets answered at 3am.
Workshop and recovery under one roof changes what a breakdown means. The truck that lifts you and the mechanic who fixes you work for the same name, so nothing gets lost between the roadside and the repair.
How we work
How our Navan garage prices a job.
-
The price is agreed before the work starts. If we find something else on the ramp, you get a call and a choice, never a surprise on the invoice.
-
You are told what it is in plain words. What failed, why it failed, and whether it can safely wait. No jargon, no scare tactics.
-
The job is done once, properly. Quality parts, torqued and tested, with your service history kept right for warranty and resale.
