Secunda notes on rim & mag repair
Rim repair here is mostly practical: steel rims on contractor bakkies bent on site roads, and alloys on staff cars that met a pothole on the R546. A few local shops straighten and refinish, but for TIG welding, a diamond cut recut or powder coating a set of 4x4 rims, expect the wheels to be sent to the East Rand or Johannesburg. Ask how the wheels are transported and insured.
Wheels and roads in Secunda
Shift work shapes the tyre trade in Secunda. The petrochemical complex and the collieries around it run around the clock, so a flat tyre at five in the morning is a real problem and mobile call-outs are in demand. Contractor bakkies, buses and staff cars cover the roads between Secunda, Embalenhle, Trichardt and Evander every day, and heavy trucks use the N17 and the R546. Maize and cattle farms around Bethal and Kinross add tractor and trailer tyres. Fitment centres and alignment shops are in town and the industrial area, with smaller tyre repairers in Embalenhle. Simple bends and scuffs are handled locally, while cracked alloys and diamond cut wheels usually travel to Gauteng.
The requests we see from Secunda usually come from:
- Mines and construction sites: bent light vehicle wheels from haul roads, straightened or condemned
- Truck, bus and taxi operators: steel rims on delivery vans and minibus taxis pressed straight
- Private car owners: a pothole bend on the inner lip causing a shake at highway speed
