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.

    • More interestingly how did the security staff react/do, staff would have also been concerned for their safety with individuals riding through the aisles, BUT on a more serious point, I really can't see how they'd have got through the recently installed "fence" and gate once just through the glass entrance doors, unchallenged by security who stand close by at their podium.  Riddle me that one. This has got to be a friday wind up.............................................
    • Ridiculous. If there is 30 minutes free parking, why do you need to use a parking app at all? 
    • Helen and Steve have just completed the design, landscaping and planting for our small garden in Honor Oak and we are very pleased with everything they did. Helen wasn't dismissive of our small space and designed something that suits us well, and they and their team worked quickly, were unfailingly polite and friendly, and left everything neat and tidy. The project came in under budget and the garden now looks great. 100% recommended.
    • Aha I’ll check whether it’s set to text and torn that off!
