Ask about installation and service visits, since the nearest technician may be far. Truck tyre equipment and heavy jacks suit the N2 trade. Second hand machines are a good option for smaller shops.
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.
The requests we see from George usually come from:
- Private car owners: the machine that lets a shop save a pothole-bent mag instead of replacing it
- Truck, bus and taxi operators: a truck wheel shop straightening steel rims for trailers and buses
