About
Our Company History
Katoomba Tyre Service was established as Yale Remoulds on 17/9/1930 by Donald Adamson. Originally located in Katoomba Street, it was relocated to the current Cascade Street premises on 1/7/1937 after being purchased by William and Alfred Graham.
Katoomba Tyre Service as it is now known, has been owned and operated by the Fitz family since being purchased by William (“Bill”) Fitz on 24 July 1967.
When Bill retired in 1982 ownership passed to his son John who continued operations until his retirement in 2004. John’s son Stephen continued the family tradition until his sudden passing in 2018, and now his son Jonathon continues operating the family business.
In 1996 Katoomba Tyre Service purchased an adjoining property, a former printing works destroyed by fire and is planning to expand the business operations.
Katoomba Tyre Service now employs 5 people in its retail store, continuing to offer personalised service to its many loyal customers.
