June 01, 2005 // Franchising.com // Racing legend and company founder Bob Jane will be attending the grand opening celebration of the new Bob Jane T-Marts at 10 Victoria Street, Smithfield on Saturday June 18.
Bob Jane T-Marts has re-located its Fairfield store to Smithfield to better service the tyre and wheel needs of local motorists. The new location offers customers greater accessibility and facilities including improved customer parking.
Whether you need new tyres or wheels or you're a motorsport enthusiast don't miss the opening celebration.
There'll be a free lunchtime sausage sizzle, heaps of giveaways from the Bob Jane T-Marts grid girls and at approximately 1:30pm, a visit by the 2DAY FM Black Thunders. Bob's Annual Stock Take is in full swing so there will be plenty of bargains on offer for tyres, wheels and batteries.
As well as having the chance to meet Bob Jane, there will also be the rare opportunity to view Bob's famous Chevrolet V8 Camaro 427 which could be best described as an original V8 supercar!
Bob drove the famous V8 Camaro to win the 1971 & 1972 Australian Touring Car Championship including a record-setting eight victories during the 1972 season – a feat only achieved by a handful of drivers. The Camaro is being specially transported from the Bathurst museum so don't miss the chance to see this legendary car (and driver) up close.
Bob Jane's racing career is truly impressive. He won the Australian Touring Car Championship four times in 1962, 63, 71 and 72 - placing him second overall in consecutive title wins. In 1963 and 1964 he also conquered the legendary Mt Panorama to win the iconic Bathurst race.
Bob's racing achievements have made him a national sporting icon, as have the highly successful Bob Jane T-Marts network of tyre retailers that he started in the early 1960's.
From humble beginnings in Melbourne, Bob Jane T-Marts has grown to become Australia's leading independent tyre retailer with a national network of 135 T-Marts.
The new T-Mart at Smithfield will continue to provide local motorists with great service, expert advice and a wide range of quality products.
Bob Jane T-Marts sell a complete range of tyres for passenger vehicles, 4WDs, performance and commercial vehicles as well as an extensive range of alloy wheels and reliable batteries.
Expert technicians also perform wheel alignments and wheel balancing services using the latest technology to ensure a smoother more comfortable ride and to maximise the life of your tyres.
Having served motorists for over 40 years, customers acknowledge Bob Jane T-Marts as the most trusted name for tyres, wheels, batteries and associated services. A solid reputation built in part to the success and achievement of the company's legendary founder on and off the race track.
Don't miss the chance to meet this racing legend and see his famous Chevrolet Camaro up close on Saturday June 18 at 10 Victoria Street Smithfield.
