After 25 years of serving the community, Singhs Tyre & Mechanical will close its doors on Thursday, February 15 at 4pm.
The shop is located next to Repco Auto and the former Mitre Ten shop at the end of Jonson Street, opposite Byron Music.
Owners Brad and Lorriane McCormack told The Echo it was a difficult decision to wind down their operations.
‘It is with mixed emotions that we announce the upcoming closure of our workshop’, they said.
‘We have been unsuccessful in securing a new lease that is fair, and with the lack of available employees for us to work with, we cannot do it anymore. Over the years, we have built strong relationships with our customers and your patronage has been instrumental to our success.
‘As we say goodbye, we would like you to know that your support over the years has made a significant impact and we are grateful beyond words’.
OMG, so sad. Great Byron business gone. Brad was always accommodating.
Thanks for your great service over the years Brad, so sorry to see you go ☹️
Another tragic loss for our town. I’ve trusted their integrity and good old-fashioned friendly service for many years. I worry about an alternative. I don’t think I’ll find somewhere else this good. Thank you, Singhs, for your great service over the years.
Sadly, this is another example of the gutting of Byron Bay, and its evolution into a hollow, soulless, overpriced tourist theme park.
