Advantage Tyre Solutions (formerly trading as Beaurepaires) has been fined $243,000 after pleading guilty to six charges under sections 13(c), 21C, and 36U of the Fair Trading Act 1986. From 1 August 2013 until 31 July 2023 Advantage Tyre Solutions offered a ‘Road Hazard Cover’ extended warranty. While selling the service, Advantage Tyre Solutions made false or misleading representations that people had agreed to acquire a service, asserted a right to payment for an unsolicited service, and sold an extended warranty that failed to comply with the required disclosures under the Fair Trading Act 1986. During the period from 1 March 2019 to 31 July 2023 Advantage Tyre Solutions sold 200,000 units of Road Hazard Cover, generating revenue of around $2 million.
