Regardless of who is running the business, Ainslie
says there is no real secret to making it work – as long as you remember
that taking care of customers is taking care of business.
"I was offered the manager’s job here at
Fairy Meadow, which I took. It was a big thing because at that point JAX
had no women in senior positions. That was September 1996 and in
September 1999 I bought the franchise.”
Ainslie works six days a week, as does her husband –
in another business just around the corner – so spare time is precious
and spent with her family (her two children are now 23 and 27) and
friends, mostly enjoying all that the Wollongong area has to offer.
JAXQuickfit Tyres Fairy Meadow offers a variety of
mechanical services such as brakes and suspension as well as supplying
and fitting the world’s leading tyre brands including
BFGoodrich,

range of top-line
