Jax Tyres & Auto Review & Guide

One of the more well-known tyre retailers in Australia, Jax Tyres & Auto has been on the tyre landscape since 1949, with their first store opening in Sydney. While primarily a tyre retailer, Jax Tyres & Auto then expanding its range of services to include auto-repair work in 1986, before merging with Quick Fit Tyres in 2005, before it itself being acquired by South Korean tyre company Hankook in 2017.

Jax Tyres & Auto has continually expanded over the years, with the brand now operating in almost 90 locations around Australia. If you’re looking to get some new tyres or some work done on your car, find out what Jax Tyres & Auto has to offer with this Canstar Blue guide.

Jax Tyres & Auto Services

In addition to stocking a wide variety of tyre types and brands, Jax Tyres & Auto also offers car servicing, wheel alignments, battery replacement as well as work on suspension and brakes to help keep you moving. Jax Tyres & Auto offers a vehicle servicing package for $179, which includes replacing engine oil, inspections to the water levels, brakes and steering, as well as tyre inspection and wheel balancing, although select vehicles – such as performance, commercial and 4WDs – potentially costing a bit more. Jax Tyres & Auto also offers services for fleet and commercial ranges, although it’s best to contact individual stores to see if they have enough capacity to service your business.

You can purchase your tyres online, but Jax Tyres & Auto does not deliver them, as they need to be fitted and balanced in store, meaning while you can purchase online, you’ll have to head in-store to receive them.

  • Jax Tyres & Auto has also teamed up with Tyre Stewardship Australia and Tyrecycle to properly recycle and reduce tyre waste.

Should I shop at Jax Tyres & Auto?

With a competitive tyre retailer market, Aussies have plenty of options to drive into when it comes to upgrading the tyres and checking under hood. While Jax Tyres & Auto has plenty to offer motorists, with plenty of options means plenty of competition, meaning it’s best to do your research before heading in-store, as you may be able to find a cheaper price or wider range of services elsewhere.
