There’s a lot that rolls through the Transit Tyres & Mechanical workshop.
One day it might be a family car needing a new set of tyres. The next, a 4WD, prime mover, tractor or piece of heavy equipment. Then there are the jobs that don’t make it into the workshop at all, with our mobile team heading out across Mackay when a customer needs a hand on site or on the road.
That range is a big part of who we are.
Transit Tyres has been part of Mackay since 1990, growing from a local tyre business into a team equipped to look after everything from everyday motorists to some of the region’s hardest-working vehicles and equipment.
Tyres for a lot more than cars
Cars and 4WDs are certainly part of the job, but they’re only one part.
Our team works across passenger vehicles, utes, trucks, trailers, agricultural machinery, mining equipment and more.
That means we understand that the right tyre depends on much more than its size. Where the vehicle operates, what it carries, the distances it covers and the conditions it faces all matter.
We stock and source options across a wide range of applications and can help find the right fit for the job, rather than simply pointing you towards whatever happens to be on the rack.
Mechanical work under the same roof
Transit is also Transit Tyres & Mechanical for a reason.
Alongside tyres, our Paget workshop handles mechanical servicing and repairs, wheel alignments, balancing and a range of other vehicle maintenance.
For our customers, particularly local businesses and fleets, having more looked after in one place can make life considerably easier.
Equipped for the bigger jobs
Some tyre jobs need a little more muscle.
Our workshop capabilities include a 150-tonne tyre press, allowing the team to work with large industrial and heavy-duty applications that sit well outside the average tyre shop.
It’s part of why you’ll see such a broad mix of machinery and vehicles coming through the Transit yard.
We can come to you
Not every tyre problem happens conveniently during business hours or within a few kilometres of the workshop.
Transit operates a mobile service across Mackay and surrounding areas, along with 24/7 after-hours call-outs when tyre trouble can’t wait until morning.
For transport operators, fleets, worksites and local drivers, that means there’s a local team to call when something goes wrong out on the road or on site.
Local since 1990
A lot has changed since Transit Tyres first opened its doors in Mackay in 1990.
Vehicles have changed. Tyre technology has changed. The industries around us have evolved.
What hasn’t changed is that Transit remains a locally owned, family-run Mackay business.
We know the roads, industries and conditions our customers are working in because they’re our roads and our community too.
