Rim & mag repair in Roodepoort: local notes
With so many used car dealers on Ontdekkers Road, mag repairers in Roodepoort refurbish a lot of wheels for resale. If you are buying a car there, look closely for fresh paint over welds. Private motorists bring curb rash from Constantia Kloof and Ruimsig driveways and pothole bends from Florida. Ask whether refinishing is wet paint or powder coat, and how long the lacquer usually lasts.
Roodepoort: the roads, the vehicles and the workshops
Ontdekkers Road is Roodepoort's motor strip: kilometres of used car dealers, tyre shops, fitment centres and parts stores running from Florida towards Maraisburg. That makes refurbishing wheels for resale a big part of the local trade, along with everyday tyre and alignment work. Families in Weltevredenpark, Little Falls and Wilgeheuwel drive SUVs and double cabs, and the hills around Constantia Kloof and Ruimsig mean kerb scrapes on steep driveways. Older roads near the mine dumps and through Florida carry heavy traffic and break up after summer storms. Hendrik Potgieter Road and Christiaan de Wet Road add more tyre shops further north, close to the newer suburbs.
