OVER the past seventy years, Shepparton has made major changes as the food bowl of Australia. In that time, numerous small businesses have grown and prospered providing a level of service that meets the needs of the local community.
One of those businesses is Central Tyre Service who are involved in one such industry that has established themselves in 1952 as a key community business that helps keep every other business on the road and the wheels of the regional industry turning.
With support from Goodyear Tyres Australia in the early days, the company has seen the transfer of ownership stay within the business. Current directors, Rod Poliness and Tim Webb have both spent the larger part of their working life, Rod at 33 years, Tim at 23 years, with Central Tyre Service to reach the point where they became the current owners. The 18 staff members doing all the work in the shop and on the road have an average of 15 years tenure with the business.
With the workshop constantly working on jobs at hand, the company has recently invested in two new fully equipped mobile service vehicles adding to their existing fleet that can provide efficient onsite service and backup to the region’s transport and agricultural industries, from cars to trucks and tractors by taking the tyre changing service to the field when needed.
The Adviser salutes this great local business that has stood the test of time by providing excellent customer service.
