Beaurepaires is a subsidiary of Goodyear and Dunlop Tyres Australia.

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. In New Zealand, all Beaurepaires locations were rebranded to Advantage Tyre Solutions in 2023.
