Polokwane notes on equipment & supplies
As the regional motor trade centre, Polokwane is where many Limpopo workshops buy tyre changers, balancers, aligners and supplies. Some suppliers keep stock locally; others deliver from Gauteng along the N1. Ask about installation, training and calibration visits, and whether spares are held in town. Truck workshops need heavy tyre changers and bead seaters; car shops need wheel weights and valves by the box.
Polokwane: the roads, the vehicles and the workshops
The N1 is the main artery of Polokwane. Long distance trucks heading for Beitbridge and Zimbabwe pass through or overnight here, and their tyres, rims and wheel bearings keep truck tyre services busy at all hours. The city is also the motor trade centre for much of Limpopo, so people drive in from Mankweng, Moletjie and further out with bent rims, worn tyres and alignment problems. Game farms and cattle ranches bring bakkies and 4x4s off gravel. Tyre shops, fitment centres and mag repairers are concentrated in the Ladanna industrial area and along the main roads into the CBD, with newer outlets toward Bendor. Most rim work is done locally, though complex jobs may still go to Pretoria.

- Private car owners: the machine that lets a shop save a pothole-bent mag instead of replacing it
