Kumeu Tyres

Neil has devoted the past 35 years to running Kumeu Tyres, and for the last 28 years, his shop has been a fixture on Main Road, nestled between Gull and Cottle Motors. What began as a job necessity transformed into a lifelong journey filled with challenges, friendships, and a sense of community.

Neil's venture into the world of tyres initially started as a means to secure employment. However, as the weeks turned into months, he discovered a passion for the industry. Solving challenges became second nature, and the relationships formed with customers evolved into enduring friendships. Over time, those initial connections extended to the next generation as their children also became friends.

The growth of the local community has brought a surge in business for Kumeu Tyres, largely fueled by the steady stream of recommendations: "Go have a chat with Neil at Kumeu Tyres; he knows what's what." Neil takes pride in being a trusted figure in the community, offering not just quality tyre services but also a welcoming space for conversations and advice.

Now, at the age of 66, Neil is celebrating not just a birthday but a milestone in his career. As he reflects on the years spent building Kumeu Tyres, his desire is to find an individual with the same passion to buy the tire business. Neil envisions a future where he can gracefully retire, enjoy warmer climates, and reminisce about the fulfilling journey of his old job.

If you have a passion for the tyre industry and are interested in continuing the legacy of Kumeu Tyres, he welcomes a conversation. Feel free to give Neil a call at 09 412 9856. It's not just about taking over a business; it's about embracing a community, solving challenges, and continuing a legacy that spans nearly four decades.
