Melbourne Tyres closed down (Update: Dulwich Tyres opens in its place)


Recommended Posts

I recently heard Melbourne Tyres has now closed down. 

I'm sure many people have used this service or sought advice from Joey, the owner, since opening  40+ years ago.  He'll be missed. 

The builder mentioned it would be reopening shortly as a new shop

It was only a matter of time before this happened. Another useful  local service gone

No doubt there will be a new expensive shop that appeals to a few  people.

A great loss.

It's true. Drivers will now have to travel as far as...about 150 feet to the huge Kwik-Fit across the road if they want to get tyres fitted. 

Exactly!

for twice or triple the price no doubt!

not bad for convenience I guess…… 😜

I asked a workman in there and he said another tyre shop. Just passing on what I heard!

We live nearby and often chatted with friendly Joe. Sad to see him go, he said he was retiring.

Heard it’s going to be a café/coffee shop on the day he left.

Dulwich needs more coffee shops,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Could do with a nice affordable greasy spoon type set up since Maria at the Grove cafe moved on. Dulwich cafe now also gone. They were great little places and always a familiar face or two about when we paid our weekly visits.

Can't help you with the introduction to Joey, but just a random word of thanks to you @Herbie Russell Southwark News! Your name is on a lot of the Southwark News articles that get posted on here. There's no local democracy or local community without local media, so thank you for what you do! 👍

Hi Herbie

A friend has contacted him and he's declined to be interviewed.
