Bloemfontein notes on equipment & supplies
As the main motor trade centre of the Free State, Bloemfontein workshops buy aligners, tyre changers, balancers and rim repair machines from suppliers who sometimes stock locally or deliver from Gauteng. Ask about calibration visits, training and spares. Second hand machines come up often. Fitment centres buy patches, valves and wheel weights by the box, and farm workshops buy tubes and plug kits.
Bloemfontein: the roads, the vehicles and the workshops
Right in the middle of the country, Bloemfontein is where the N1, N6 and N8 meet, and many long distance drivers stop here when a tyre or wheel gives trouble. Holiday traffic between Gauteng and the coast fills fitment centres in December and at Easter. Daily, commuters from Botshabelo and Thaba Nchu cover long distances, and farms around Bainsvlei bring in bakkies and tractors. Old city streets have their share of potholes. The motor trade is spread along Nelson Mandela Drive and the main routes, with industrial areas such as Hamilton and East End home to tyre wholesalers, mag repairers and truck tyre services. Most rim work, including crack welding and powder coating, is available locally.
Typical rim repair machines requests in the area come from:

- Company and rental fleets: a fleet workshop straightening steel rims on vans and bakkies in house
