Alberton notes on rim & mag repair
Meyersdal and Brackenhurst's steep streets and estate kerbs give Alberton mag repairers steady curb rash work, while pothole bends come from the older main roads. Shops in Alrode and New Redruth straighten, weld and refinish, and some also handle steel truck and trailer rims. Ask whether a powder coated finish will be masked properly at the hub face and wheel nut seats.
Alberton: the roads, the vehicles and the workshops
Alrode is the engine room of Alberton: one of the larger industrial areas on the East Rand, home to manufacturers, transport yards, engineering works and the tyre and wheel workshops that serve them. Trucks leave Alrode for the R59 towards the Vaal and the N3, so truck tyre repair and roadside call-outs are a big part of local trade. In the suburbs, Meyersdal and Brackenhurst sit on the slopes of the Klipriviersberg, where steep streets and estate kerbs scrape mags. New Redruth and the roads near the town centre hold fitment centres and mag repair shops. Brackendowns and Thokoza bring commuter and taxi work. Summer storms can open potholes on the older roads overnight.

- Truck, bus and taxi operators: alloys on shuttle vans and premium transfer vehicles kept presentable
- Company and rental fleets: alloy wheels on executive cars and rentals repaired between bookings
