Smiths Mechanical is a proud family-run business, led by John, Sharon, and their son Simon Griffiths. With deep-rooted expertise in HGV repairs, maintenance, heavy haulage, and specialist transport solutions, we have built a strong reputation for quality, reliability, and excellence throughout South Wales.
John began his career as a fitter for a crane repair company, Smiths Enterprises, based on Tower Close, Bridgend Industrial Estate. In 1991, John and Sharon decided to venture out on their own, launching their own crane repair business from the driveway of their family home.
In 1992, an opportunity arose to purchase the Tower Close building, and the Griffiths family seized the chance. To maintain familiarity with Smiths Enterprises’ customers, they named the new company Smiths Mechanical Services. Initially focused on crane, truck, and plant repairs, the company steadily expanded its services, incorporating an MOT bay, a Stoneridge tachograph centre, and a Fassi crane franchise.
To better serve customers, Smiths acquired a low-loader for vehicle collection and delivery. Recognising an increasing demand for haulage services, they identified a key market opportunity, leading to the formation of their heavy haulage division – Smiths Heavy Haulage.
Today, Smiths Mechanical Services Ltd is a trusted name in the industry, offering comprehensive HGV repairs, fleet maintenance, tachograph services, MOT testing, heavy haulage solutions, and crane servicing and testing. With a skilled and dedicated team, we continue to provide top-tier services, ensuring businesses keep moving forward safely and efficiently.
