Leading tyre maker Kumho has added a second Sydney outlet to its rapidly expanding Platinum Dealer network with the opening of Smithfield Tyre Service in the city's south west.

Kumho's Platinum Dealer program was launched in late 2011 promising to bring the highest levels of customer service and value through a nation wide network of friendly and professional dealers.

According to Kumho Tyre Australia National Trade Manager, Glenn Pearse, Smithfield Tyre Service was a prime candidate for the program because of its ongoing commitment to the Kumho brand.

"Smithfield Tyre Service has consistently proven itself in the areas of customer service and expertise," said Glenn Pearse.

"Sydney is a vital market for Kumho and the opening of the city's second Platinum Dealer is part of our aim to give customers the best service at the best price."

Smithfield Tyre Service features customer focused features including family friendly waiting areas as well as off street parking and is located at 19 Victoria Street, Smithfield.

Along with offering tyre fitting and wheel alignments, Smithfield Tyre Service is also equipped to provide a wide range of mechanical repairs.

Owner, Vince Panuccio says Smithfield Tyre Service is honoured to become a Platinum Dealer.

"Kumho's product range is ideal for our diverse customer base and we really believe in the brand and the Platinum concept," said Vince Panuccio.

"We service everything from small cars to four wheel drives and SUVs at Smithfield Tyre Service and Kumho has a tyre for every application at the right price."

The Kumho Platinum Dealer program continues to be rolled out with more than 30 Platinum Dealers now operating around the country.

Kumho is a proud supporter of the McGrath Foundation and holds an annual Pink Fitters Day as a fundraiser for the charity. Smithfield Tyre Service will play a key role in 2014 event in which Kumho hopes to raise more than $25,000.
