Wheels and roads in Sasolburg
Built around a petrochemical complex just south of the Vaal River, Sasolburg sees a lot of heavy traffic: tankers, trucks and contractor bakkies run between the plant, the R59 and the N1. Many residents work shifts or commute across the river to Vanderbijlpark and Vereeniging, and boat and caravan owners head for the Vaal Dam at Deneysville on weekends. Potholes on busy roads and in older suburbs bend rims, and heavy vehicles rut the tar. Tyre shops and alignment centres are in town and the industrial area, with more choice across the river in the Vaal Triangle. Johannesburg is close, so specialist rim work rarely needs a long trip.
The requests we see from Sasolburg usually come from:
- Truck, bus and taxi operators: shuttle and bus fleets with steel and alloy wheels refinished
- Company and rental fleets: end-of-lease or rental cars with tired wheels refurbished in batches
- Private car owners: a set of peeling or corroded mags brought back before a long trip or sale
