I've driven past Capalaba Tyre Service dozens of times and frequently pondered its somewhat bedraggled appearance. This, I thought, was my kind of tyre shop. No fancy laminated displays, just makeshift shade covers, worn lounges and hundreds upon hundreds of tyres.

When eventually I needed tyre repairs this was the first place I thought of and indeed I was not disappointed. In less than 5 minutes an unfixable tyre was replaced by a good condition second hand one, and I also had an extra rim and second hand tyre as well. I couldn't have been happier. I also had a good chuckle when the service person had to search for the eftpos machine lost amongst parts. A classic!

Approximate cost: $100.00
