Quality And Care Passed Down Generations

If you’re a Burdekin local, chances are you’ve heard of Brennan Tyrepower. If you haven’t? Just ask your parents—or grandparents.

One of the region’s longstanding businesses—rooted in family, quality, and care—Brennan Tyrepower has been keeping the Burdekin rolling for the better part of 75 years.

“It’s a family business—we started out in the early 1950s and moved into tyres in 1969,” says co-owner Erin Brennan, who specialises in sales and administration. “We’ve served the grandchildren of people we used to serve in our earlier days!”

The business started out as an ironworks shop before shifting focus to tyres—a move that’s kept them at the heart of Burdekin life ever since. Erin, who has been a valuable part of the operation for 36 years, says that while the tools and technology have changed, the values haven’t.

“We’ve seen a lot of technical changes. When we first started, everything was manual. Now we have machines to help with just about everything. The technology is a big factor—but so is service. For me, it’s just about being able to provide a service for the people of the Burdekin.”

That service includes everything from everyday car tyres and batteries to tractor tyres, trailer parts and on-site servicing. If they don’t have something in stock? “We’ll get it,” Erin says.

It’s that commitment—and the relaxed, honest atmosphere—that’s kept customers coming back generation after generation.

Steeped in family tradition and driven by a deep-seated connection to the community, Brennan Tyrepower has been—and continues to be—the trusted name in tyres, and a pillar in the Burdekin Community.
