Brand Manager at Leapmotor Ireland, Stephen McGrath, commented: “Welcoming Fitzpatrick’s Garage to the Leapmotor family is a significant milestone in our journey to democratise accessible electric mobility, without compromise, across Ireland.

For over seven decades, Fitzpatrick’s Garage Group has stood at the forefront of automotive excellence in Ireland. Founded in 1951 by Mr. Jimmy Fitzpatrick in Kildare Town, the business quickly outgrew its modest beginnings, relocating in 1968 to the Dublin Road, now its head office. Today, Fitzpatrick’s operates showrooms in Kildare Town, Naas, Carlow, and Tullamore, employing over 150 dedicated professionals. Fitzpatrick’s Garage Naas is dedicated to providing every Leapmotor customer with a reliable and outstanding experience.
Sean Lyons, CEO at Fitzpatrick’s Garage Group, commented: “We are delighted to be “Taking the Leap” as the newest official Leapmotor dealer. Customers have always been at the heart of the Fitzpatrick’s business. As the motor industry accelerates towards electrification, Fitzpatrick’s prides itself as being progressive, open to change, new technology, and willing to help their customers on this exciting new journey.”
He continued: “Leapmotor’s cutting-edge EV and REEV models deliver outstanding value and technology, marking an exciting new chapter for both our business and our customers. Partnering with such an exciting and innovative new brand in Leapmotor fills us with immense pride, and we look forward to celebrating Fitzpatrick’s 75th Birthday in 2026 with this fantastic new brand. Adjacent to the iconic Naas Ball, our showroom will have the full range of Leapmotor vehicles on display this week. We look forward to welcoming everyone and introducing them to Ireland’s newest car brand.”
