Wheels and roads in Paarl
Paarl is a working wine and fruit town on the N1, at the foot of the Du Toitskloof Pass and the Huguenot Tunnel. Trucks carrying grapes, fruit and freight climb the pass towards the interior, and farm bakkies, tractors and trailers move along gravel roads between the vineyards. Summers are hot, sometimes very hot, which is hard on tyre pressures and rubber, while winters bring heavy rain and potholes on Main Street and the older roads. Tyre shops, wheel repairers and alignment centres are in the Dal Josafat industrial area and along the main roads, with more in Wellington. Commuters from Mbekweni and holiday traffic on the N1 add steady wear and punctures.
The requests we see from Paarl usually come from:
- Farms: a rural workshop pressing bent steel rims on bakkies and farm trailers
- 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
