Vanderbijlpark notes on rim & mag repair
Steel rims on trucks, trailers and works bakkies are the bulk of rim work in Vanderbijlpark, straightened or replaced depending on the damage. Alloy work covers pothole bends and curb rash on commuter cars and SUVs. Ask whether crack welding and diamond cut recuts are done locally or sent to Johannesburg, and whether a refurbished set will be balanced and leak tested before collection.
Vanderbijlpark: the roads, the vehicles and the workshops
Vanderbijlpark was built as a steel town, and the steelworks still sets the pace for its tyre trade. Heavy trucks carrying coil, plate and scrap run between the plant, the industrial areas and the R59 and R57, and their tyres and steel rims take a beating on roads worn by decades of heavy loads. Contractor bakkies and works fleets add constant tyre and alignment work. On weekends, the Vaal River brings boat trailers, caravans and jet ski trailers, so bearing jobs pick up in summer. Sebokeng, Bophelong and the town itself are home to many minibus taxis and commuter hatchbacks. For diamond cutting or delicate alloy crack welding, some owners still look to Johannesburg.
The requests we see from Vanderbijlpark usually come from:
- Truck, bus and taxi operators: steel rims on delivery vans and minibus taxis pressed straight
- Company and rental fleets: pool cars and rentals with bent wheels straightened after pothole damage
- Private car owners: a pothole bend on the inner lip causing a shake at highway speed
