Wheels and roads in George
George is the main service town on the Garden Route, set between the Outeniqua Mountains and the sea on the N2. The Outeniqua Pass carries trucks and holiday traffic over the mountains to Oudtshoorn and the Karoo, and its long descents heat brakes and wear tyres. Forestry trucks, farm bakkies and caravans add to the mix, while gravel passes and farm roads around Wilderness and Blanco cut sidewalls. The town has an airport, a growing retirement and holiday population, and many SUVs and double cabs. Tyre shops, wheel repairers and alignment centres are in George Industria and along York Street. Rain can fall in any season, so wet roads and potholes are a year-round concern.
Who asks for mag repair around George, most often first:
- Private car owners: one scuffed or corroded mag made to match the rest of the set again
- Enthusiasts, 4x4 and performance drivers: aftermarket mags kept straight and clean, or refinished in a new colour
- Truck, bus and taxi operators: alloys on shuttle vans and premium transfer vehicles kept presentable
