Carter's Tyre Service Gore is proudly owned & operated by Gore locals Dean and Kelly-Anne Findlay.

We're big on 3 things around here: transparency, trust, and bringing back the art of service with a smile.  Because it's not just about offering a premium service & product range - it's the lasting connections we build with everyone who walks through our doors that really sets us apart.

 

Rolling with the best

Our team of tyre experts will work closely with you to minimise costs & downtime, while maximising safety & efficiency.

It’s not just commercial fleets we look after — we have agricultural customers, as well passenger and trade vehicle fleets. And of course we can do your car, 4WD, van, trailer, motorhome and even your wheelbarrow.

We meant what we said before: if it’s got a tyre, we can help!

Truckies - this ones for you!

Here's everything you need to know about arriving & parking at Carter's HQ.

(Our coffee while you wait or refill on the run offer doesn't seem to go down too badly either.)
