(PRWEB) November 10, 2009 -- Long-time Brookvale Tyre retailer Owen Tyres has joined forces with the national JAXQuickfit Tyres group.

Business owners, father-and-son team, Ray and Steve Bird have an incredible 70 years’ tyre industry experience between them, and have now partnered with JAXQuickfit to take the Brookvale tyre store into the next phase.

“JAXQuickfit is the most dynamic tyre retailer in Australia and we feel the time is right to form a partnership like this, which we see as very much being mutually beneficial,” Ray explained.

“Although tyre retailing has been strong despite the recent difficult economic times, it’s getting tougher and tougher to be an independent in the marketplace, and when you look at what JAXQuickfit is doing, you can’t help but be impressed.”

Together with its transition to a JAXQuickfit store, the well known and established OwenTyres facility is getting a customer-focussed renovation with upgrades to the reception and waiting areas, the rest rooms and extended workshop facilities.

With the importance of female customers, who make up a large portion of the tyre buying public, the store upgrade has been carefully considered for all customers, but especially so for females.

“Owen Tyres has been in business 50 years, almost as long as JAXQuickfit, so it is a great honour that such a well respected business should join forces with us,” JAXQuickfit Tyres CEO Jeff Board said.

“For the customers of Brookvale it’s a winning combination … the service and quality they know with the product and pricing that JAXQuickfit’s national base can provide.

“It’s an exciting time and we are very pleased to welcome Ray and Steve aboard.”

JAXQuickfit Tyres Brookvale offers the full range of tyre and wheel fitment and servicing, associated accessories and steering, brake and suspension servicing.

Nine staff service customer needs which, in busy and industrial Brookvale, include major truck tyre work, plus light trucks, vans and large fleets.

“There’s also a lot of passenger and suburban four-wheel-drive work too, so we’re kept very busy,” Ray said.

Ray and Steve have been sharing the daily responsibilities of running a very busy tyre service for most of their respective working lives.

Owen Tyres has always been completely independent and is owned by Ray, Steve and their respective wives – both families being long time residents of the Northern Beaches.

Both enjoy the store’s sponsorship of the Manly Sea Eagles NRL team, sports in general, the local beaches and Ray particularly enjoys a round of golf.

Australian-owned JAXQuickfit Tyres is unique in representing the top five global manufacturing giants of the tyre industry, including quality and high performance passenger car, 4wd and light truck tyre brands … BF Goodrich, Bridgestone, Continental, Dunlop, Goodyear, Michelin and Pirelli together with value for money brand options.

This enables it to offer customers a mix of brands that span the premium, major and value-for-money market sectors.

In 2009 JAXQuickfit is celebrating its 60th year in business and nationally serves more than 42,000 customers per month through its 70 stores along the eastern seaboard.

JAXQuickfit Tyres' Brookvale store (www.jaxquickfit.com.au) is located at: 81 Winbourne Road, Brookvale. Phone: 9939 6166
