On Jackson Street in Petone, **Tony's Tyre & Auto Care** operates a full-service tyre shop and auto care centre for Lower Hutt drivers. As part of the wider Tony's Tyre & Auto Care network, the Petone store carries the backing of an MTA-assured operation, with qualified mechanics and tyre technicians handling everything from new tyre fitting to full mechanical servicing.
Tyres are a core focus at the Petone store, with car, 4x4, SUV and van tyres all stocked from established brands. The store backs its tyre pricing with a price beat guarantee: if a customer finds a genuinely lower price elsewhere on a comparable new tyre, Tony's will beat it, provided the competing quote meets a set of conditions around stock, location and pricing inclusions. It's a policy designed to remove some of the price-shopping hassle that often comes with buying new tyres.
Every tyre purchased at the Petone store also comes with free puncture repair for the lifetime of that tyre — a detail that adds ongoing value well beyond the initial sale, and one of the more practical perks for regular drivers who might pick up the odd nail or screw over the years.
Beyond tyres, the Petone store functions as a full auto service centre. Warrant of Fitness inspections are carried out on-site, alongside express auto servicing options and general automotive maintenance and repairs. The team also handles wheel alignment, wheel balancing, tyre rotation, nitrogen tyre inflation, run flat tyre repair and car battery replacement — covering most of the routine and semi-routine work a vehicle needs over its life.
A notable feature of how Tony's operates is its approach to transparency: vehicle inspection videos are sent directly to the customer's phone, giving a visual record of what a mechanic has found rather than relying purely on a verbal or written summary.
For customers wanting to spread the cost, Tony's works with finance partners including Afterpay and Zip, allowing purchases to be paid off over time rather than all at once. This sits alongside the store's general focus on making tyre and auto care more accessible, whether that's through the price beat guarantee, free puncture repair, or flexible payment options.
