History
Established in 1949 with its inaugural outlet in Sydney, Jax Tyres & Auto rapidly grew through a franchise model. Originally concentrating solely on tyres, the business expanded its service range in 1986 to incorporate brakes and suspension maintenance. The 2005 merger with Quick Fit Tyres further enhanced its market reach within Victoria and Queensland.
By January 2024, the company operates a network of 93 franchise locations throughout Australia.
Retail
Jax Tyres & Auto retails tyres from prominent international manufacturers such as BFGoodrich, Bridgestone, Continental, Dunlop, Goodyear, Hankook, Michelin, and Pirelli.
Automotive
The firm offers a comprehensive range of automotive services including tyre repairs, wheel alignment and balancing, brake and suspension repairs, along with oil changes. These maintenance solutions are delivered by experienced technicians aiming to optimize vehicle functionality efficiently and cost-effectively.
Acquisition
In February 2017, Hankook completed the acquisition of Jax Tyres & Auto, thereby enhancing its presence within the Australian tyre retail industry and reinforcing its capabilities in automotive services.
