Peenya Tyre Centre

If you ever find yourself near the police station in Peenya, you’ll likely see Peenya Tyre Centre. We are located at T3/4 in the 3rd Cross of the 1st Stage. It’s a pretty dusty area, which is expected since there’s so much industrial activity happening all around us. There are always stacks of tires everywhere you look, some new and some that have definitely seen better days. The air usually smells like heavy rubber and old grease. We spend most of the day on our feet, dealing with trucks and heavy vehicles that come in needing help with their wheels. It’s loud because of the machines and the traffic on Main Road, so we usually have to shout a bit to be heard over the noise. Our shop isn't a place where you’ll find comfortable chairs or air conditioning. It’s more of a place where hands get dirty and clothes get stained. We keep a pot of tea going most of the time because the work is tiring. Sometimes the weather makes it hard, like when it rains and the mud gets tracked everywhere, but we just grab a broom and keep moving. Most of the people who come to us are regulars from the surrounding factories. They know where we are and that we’ve been here at this specific corner for a long time now. It isn't a fancy setup, but it’s where we spend our days.
