Baby Boomers On The Road

This is Mat Urquhart, and he is the General manager of Tyrepower at Sunbury. Have I ever told you how much these guys are dedicated to customer satisfaction and all round do-gooders....Our first experience started last year when we were leaving Port Augusta and I needed a couple of tyres changed over from the van to spare and we called at two bridgestone dealers on the way out of town and both more or less said, Come back Thursday..This was Monday morning. great help. On we push to port pirie and the Tyrepower branch there had had a change of owner and it was lunch time, not a good time to call generally , but wait...Yeah wheel her in, said the owner and they changed the tyre straight away. How much, mate? ooh thats alright, no charge today. That was the start. On our return to Sunbury area I went to see Matthew about replacing the tyre that had been on the spare. well he tried very hard to replace the Simie tyres but apparently they are not made anymore. He did recommend a couple of light truck rated tyres and fitted and balanced for a very good price. light truck tyres are recommended because of the higher pressures they take rather than a normal car radial. The extra pressure because of the load they take.

My latest episode with Matthew Urquhart and Tyrepower Sunbury came just last week when I am considering changing my Coopers preferably for more Coopers. that was not to be at $370- per tyre. Matthew showed me some information on the Kumho KL/61a good, well wearing tyre that would suit our useage with 70%bitumen and 30% off road- sand and mud etc. The price included balancing and i asked about a wheel alignment and that again was no problem. Cannot speak highly enough of the service we have received at Tyrepower branches in Port Pirie and Sunbury. If you are in the market for a set of new tyres, give Matt a call on 97407755 and tell him Bruce sent you.
