Central Tyre Service’s 71-year journey
FOR 71 years, Central Tyre Service has been a linchpin in the Greater Shepparton automotive industry, a legacy recently recognised as they were inducted into the Greater Shepparton Business Network (formerly known as Sheppaton Chamber of Commerce) Hall of Fame at the 2022 White King – Pental Triple M Business Awards. Established in 1952, the company’s unwavering commitment to customer service and business excellence has earned them a loyal customer base spanning generations.
Co-director Rod Poliness expressed gratitude for the ongoing community support, noting the recurring patronage of families who’ve trusted Central Tyre Service for their automotive needs for up to four generations.
“So many of our customers grew up with their parents, and grandparents, coming to Central Tyre Service. When they get their first vehicle, they’re told ‘now this is where you go, they’ll sort it out’, and that’s three generations of that, on the cusp of four and beyond, that have continued to come back to us time and time again,” stated Rod.
The company’s co-directors, Rod Poliness and Tim Webb, with 34 and 24 years of service respectively, lead an experienced team of 18 staff members, most of whom have been with the company for an average of 15 years.
In an effort to keep up with demand, Central Tyre Service has recently expanded their fleet with two additional mobile service vehicles, thereby increasing their capacity to deliver efficient onsite service to the region’s transport and agricultural industries.
Co-director Timothy Webb expressed equal excitement about the award, thanking their loyal customers and the business community for their support and looking forward to the company’s future.
“Thank you to everyone, from our loyal and new customers alike, through to those who make these awards possible. It is an honour to be recognised for our passion and commitment to delivering the best outcomes for our customers,” said Timothy.
