Beaurepaires is an Australian and New Zealand tyre retail and repair chain started in 1922 by Frank Beaurepaire, a former Olympic swimmer for Australia and Australasia, with money he received for rescuing a shark attack victim from the water at Sydney.
Negotiations were held with rival Bob Jane T-Marts to acquire the chain but ultimately fell through, with Bob Jane instead choosing to only purchase a select number of profitable locations.
[5] In New Zealand, all Beaurepaires locations were rebranded to Advantage Tyre Solutions in 2023.
From 2018, Beaurepaires sponsored DJR Team Penske in the Supercars Championship.
[7] The New Zealand chain is also noted for TV commercials featuring Australian actor Vince Martin as a spokesperson, which he has appeared for more than 25 years, particularly the (singing) Christmas commercials and the simplistic "This is a spoon" advert.
