What to know locally in Sandton
Diamond cut and two-tone wheels are everywhere in Sandton, so ask whether a repairer has a CNC lathe or sends recuts out, and how many recuts the face can still take. Mobile smart repairers fix curb rash in office basements in Sandton Central, Rivonia and Sunninghill. Bent rims from potholes on Rivonia Road and William Nicol Drive need straightening in a workshop, often one in Wynberg.
Repairers and tyre shops in Sandton
In Sandton the typical damaged wheel is a 19 or 20 inch diamond cut alloy wearing a low-profile run-flat tyre, scraped along a parking garage kerb or bent by a pothole on Rivonia Road. Thin sidewalls give a rim little protection, so a hit that a bakkie would shrug off can crack a lip or split a tyre. Premium SUVs, German sedans and performance cars mean more TPMS work, more careful tyre changes and more lathe recuts than in most of Gauteng. Wynberg, next to Alexandra, holds much of the local motor trade, with more workshops near Kramerville and along the main roads, while mobile smart repairers visit offices in Sandton Central and Sunninghill.
