Beaurepaires is an Australian and New Zealand tyre retail and repair chain started in 1922 by Frank Beaurepaire, a former Olympic swimmer for Australia and Australasia, with money he received for rescuing a shark attack victim from the water at Sydney.{{Citation | author1=Lomas, Graham | title=The will to win : the story of Sir Frank Beaurepaire | publication-date=1960 | publisher=Heinemann | url=https://trove.nla.gov.au/work/27451800 | accessdate=28 January 2018 }}{{Citation | title=Milestone : Beaurepaire Tyre Service Pty.

In February 2024, it was reported that Goodyear and Dunlop Tyres had begun to look at shuttering its network of 100 Beaurepaires locations, with some locations rebranding to Goodyear Auto Service. Negotiations were held with rival Bob Jane T-Marts to acquire the chain but ultimately fell through, with Bob Jane instead choosing to only purchase a select number of profitable locations.{{Cite web |last=Stockdill |first=Robert |date=8 February 2024 |title=Beaurepaires store network to be closed – report |url=https://insideretail.com.au/business/beaurepaires-store-network-to-be-closed-report-202402 |access-date=8 February 2024 |website=Inside Retail Australia |language=en-US}} In New Zealand, all Beaurepaires locations were rebranded to Advantage Tyre Solutions in 2023.{{Cite web |last=Wade |first=Harrison |date=18 July 2023 |title=Beaurepaires rebrands to Advantage Tyre Solutions |url=https://www.autocar.co.nz/beaurepaires-rebrands-to-advantage-tyre-solutions/ |access-date=8 February 2024 |website=NZ Autocar |language=en-US}} Many locations have since rebranded to Goodyear or Dunlop Tyres.
