Both Beaurepaires and mycar are big, long-running Australian tyre-and-service chains owned by global tyre companies. But they are heading in very different directions, and that matters as much as their prices. Here is how they compare on price, service and fitting in 2026.

Who owns Beaurepaires and mycar?

Beaurepaires is owned by Goodyear & Dunlop Tyres (Australia), part of the US-listed Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company. mycar is owned by Continental AG, which acquired the business in November 2018 — it is the chain formerly known as Kmart Tyre & Auto, rebranded to mycar in 2019 (the Kmart Tyre & Auto name has been retired). Ownership matters here because it shapes the tyre ranges each pushes and the direction of each network.

Is Beaurepaires still open in 2026?

This is the critical question before you rely on Beaurepaires. In 2024 Goodyear announced a major restructure of its Australian retail arm, moving away from company-owned stores. Reporting at the time pointed to the closure or divestment of around 100 retail locations and nine warehouses and roughly 700 jobs, and a proposed sale of stores to the Bob Jane Corporation that ultimately fell through. Since then, many former Beaurepaires stores have closed or been rebranded to Goodyear Autocare.

The Beaurepaires brand and website continue to operate, but the retail footprint is much smaller than it was, and it varies region to region. Before you plan a visit, check that your nearest store is still trading — it may now be a Goodyear Autocare. We do not quote a current national store count because the number is a moving target.

Is mycar’s network stable?

Yes. mycar operates around 260 stores nationally with roughly 1,300 staff, and it has been expanding its full-service offering rather than contracting. It sells tyres and also does mechanical servicing, logbook servicing, brakes and batteries, so it functions as a one-stop workshop.

How do their prices compare?

mycar backs its pricing with a Tyre Price Beat Guarantee: it will beat the price of an identical, in-stock tyre from an Australian competitor on the fully fitted price (tyre, fitting, balancing, valve, disposal and GST). The competitor’s tyre must be stocked within about 30km and in the quantity you need, it applies to private buyers at the time of purchase, and it excludes clearance, discontinued, demo, refurbished or previously fitted tyres, and fleet or wholesale.

Beaurepaires does not run an equivalent headline match-and-beat guarantee. Its value tends to come through Goodyear and Dunlop promotions — percentage-off deals, Buy 3 Get 1 Free offers on those brands — and through fleet and commercial pricing, where it has long been strong. Historically it has also offered member perks such as free puncture repairs or balancing through motoring-club partnerships; confirm what is current at your store.

Networks, prices and deals change — this is a 2026 guide; confirm current details with the store.

What about fitting?

Both chains quote a fitted price that bundles mounting, balancing, a new valve and the disposal levy, with a wheel alignment charged separately. mycar’s guarantee is explicitly built around that fitted price, which makes it easy to compare apples with apples. With Beaurepaires, ask for the out-the-door fitted total and check whether any advertised tyre price already includes fitting. Our guide to what’s included in a fitting price explains the line items to look for.

Which should you choose?

Choose mycar if you want certainty and servicing

A stable network, a clear price-beat guarantee, strong workmanship and tread guarantees, and full mechanical servicing make mycar the low-risk pick for most drivers — especially if you like getting tyres and a service done in one visit.

Choose Beaurepaires if it suits your brand or fleet

If you specifically want Goodyear or Dunlop tyres, run a fleet, or have a Beaurepaires store that is still trading and quotes you a sharp price, it remains a legitimate option. Just confirm the store is open first, and get the fitted price in writing.

Bottom line

In 2026, mycar is the more dependable choice for most private buyers thanks to its stable network, fitted-price guarantee and full-service workshops. Beaurepaires can still win on Goodyear and Dunlop deals and fleet pricing — but check your local store is still trading before you count on it.
