Steven Devietti is a true local and was born and bred in Ingham where he has owned Ingham Tyre Centre for nine years now.
When Steven completed a mechanical automotive apprenticeship, it sparked his interest in the automotive industry.
Inspired to pursue a career, he purchased the old Goodyear tyre service store, recuing it from liquidation in December 2015.
Steven said it was quite challenging getting the store up and running again.
“This business was shut for three months, and it was in the middle of cane season, so it was a tough start,” said Steven.
“But since then, we built it up and now everything's going well.
When Steven took over the store, it was Goodyear but has rebranded earlier this month and is proudly Tyrepower.
He made the decision to swap networks for several reasons.
“The Goodyear Autocare Program had changed quite significantly, where they no longer distributed their own tyres,” explained Steven.
“The opportunity presented itself that I could change to a Tyrepower and Tyrepower is the biggest independent tyre network in Australia, and I wanted to become one of them.”
Tyrepower Ingham supply a range of services to the community, including new tyres for every piece of equipment, and service work.
“In our service work we go out in the field,” said Steven.
“We go out to farms and do tyre changes for customers.
“The best thing is talking to people and giving people the best service we can.
“I want to keep serving the community the best we can.”
