Paarl notes on rim & mag repair
Farm bakkies and trailers bring bent steel wheels from gravel and loading, and local workshops straighten them cold.

Powder coating is offered locally, but diamond cutting and specialist welding may go to Bellville or Cape Town. Replace a wheel cracked near the hub.
Repairers and tyre shops in Paarl
Paarl is a working wine and fruit town on the N1, at the foot of the Du Toitskloof Pass and the Huguenot Tunnel. Trucks carrying grapes, fruit and freight climb the pass towards the interior, and farm bakkies, tractors and trailers move along gravel roads between the vineyards. Summers are hot, sometimes very hot, which is hard on tyre pressures and rubber, while winters bring heavy rain and potholes on Main Street and the older roads. Tyre shops, wheel repairers and alignment centres are in the Dal Josafat industrial area and along the main roads, with more in Wellington. Commuters from Mbekweni and holiday traffic on the N1 add steady wear and punctures.

- Farms: dented steel rims on bakkies and trailers pressed back after gravel roads
