Pretoria notes on rim & mag repair
Pretoria's mag repairers are concentrated in Silverton and Waltloo, with more in Pretoria West, so most of the city is a short drive from one. Curb rash from the narrow streets of Brooklyn and Waterkloof, pothole bends on older main roads and full refurbishments for dealers selling used cars are the usual work. Powder coating in gloss black and gunmetal is popular with bakkie and SUV owners in the east.
Pretoria: the roads, the vehicles and the workshops
Pretoria's wheel trade follows its two industrial sides. In the east, Silverton and Waltloo hold a long run of tyre shops, mag repairers, panel beaters and parts suppliers; in the west, Pretoria West and Rosslyn serve the vehicle plants, transport yards and the trucks coming in on the N4 and the N1. Between them, government and parastatal fleets, students in Hatfield and families in Waterkloof and Montana keep alignment bays full. Hilly streets in the eastern suburbs and the ridges around the city mean plenty of kerb scrapes on low-profile mags, while summer hail and storms break up the older roads. Many fleet buyers want a quote that covers alignment and tyres for dozens of vehicles at once.
Typical powder coating and rim painting requests in the area come from:
- Private car owners: a colour change to gloss black or gunmetal for a fresh look
- Tyre shops and wheel workshops: refurbishment shops sending wheels to a powder coater with an oven
- Company and rental fleets: steel wheels on vans and bakkies powder coated for a durable finish
