Clancy’s Truck and Trailer has taken the top prize in the combined Penske Australia and Cummins-Meritor promotion, winning a Toyota forklift valued at $37,000.
Family owned and operated, Clancy’s Truck and Trailer is a truck repairs, servicing and spare parts specialist, located in the New South Wales suburb of Penrith.
Its story started in 1976, when the late Bob Clancy began working as a mobile truck mechanic and just two years after operated out of a workshop in Kingswood, which marked the start of the company as we know it today.
It was in 1985 that Clancy’s moved to its current location on Batt Street, which paved the way for further growth, with Bob and his wife Sheila Clancy continuing to drive the business forward.
Tragically, in 1999, Bob passed away suddenly. Determined not to let everything he had worked so hard for fall apart, Sheila pushed through the toughest of times and continues to lead the business to this day. More recently, she’s also had her son Scott Clancy by her side, serving as workshop manager and now the next generation coming through with her grandson in his third year as an apprentice diesel mechanic.
Under Sheila’s leadership, Clancy’s became an authorised Western Star and Detroit maintenance, parts and service dealer for Penske Australia, stocking a full range of parts, including Cummins-Meritor.
The workshop carries out minor and major mechanical work such as customer and fleet servicing, replacement of clutches, brake and suspension work, engine rebuilds, and electronic engine diagnosis. The experienced team of workshop staff carry out work on any brand of truck, from their well-equipped multiple bay workshop. Clancy’s also has a large variety of genuine and Allmakes parts on hand to support their long term loyal and growing customer base.
Clancy’s spare parts manager Dean Rixon said, “In the 15 years being with Clancy’s the team have contributed to a large amount of growth in our workshop, repairers, and retail customer base and it’s been rewarding to witness first-hand. There’s a few major fleets we look after, as well as the owner operators too. We have a loyal customer base – and many of them have been with us for a long time, thanks to Sheila and the team’s hard work and dedication.”
Dean added that what sets Clancy’s apart is a dedication to customer service and getting the job done right, the first time, every time. “It’s about listening to customers and what they want; and having that knowledge behind us so we can ensure customers get the right parts at the right time, to best suit their needs.”
Dean says he’s also seen greater demand for the Cummins-Meritor range of parts, which helped Clancy’s secure the win in the recent Penske Australia and Cummins-Meritor Lift Off! promotion, where a $37,000 forklift was up for grabs.
The competition was open to Penske Australia dealerships across the country.
As Penske Australia’s product manager – aftersales marketing, Phill Corpe, stated: “Clancy’s was a very deserving winner, this fantastic prize was awarded based on highest growth in Cummins-Meritor purchases compared to the same period the previous year, in which Clancy’s far exceeded our expectations.
“Penske Australia greatly appreciates Clancy’s efforts, and we congratulate them on winning the major prize.”
Sheila Clancy added, “I would like to personally thank all our loyal customers for their continued support which assisted us in achieving this fantastic result, culminating in taking out the prize of a new forklift. We look forward to putting it to good use servicing your needs in our workshop and spare parts department.”
