Pretoria notes on equipment & supplies
Workshop equipment suppliers and tyre wholesalers are found in Silverton, Waltloo and Pretoria West, and many deliver supplies to the outer suburbs and the towns to the north. A new fitment centre in Montana or Akasia can usually find refurbished tyre changers and balancers locally. Ask about installation, training and calibration, and check that an aligner's vehicle database covers the fleet vehicles you expect to see.
Pretoria: the roads, the vehicles and the workshops
Pretoria's wheel trade follows its two industrial sides. In the east, Silverton and Waltloo hold a long run of tyre shops, mag repairers, panel beaters and parts suppliers; in the west, Pretoria West and Rosslyn serve the vehicle plants, transport yards and the trucks coming in on the N4 and the N1. Between them, government and parastatal fleets, students in Hatfield and families in Waterkloof and Montana keep alignment bays full. Hilly streets in the eastern suburbs and the ridges around the city mean plenty of kerb scrapes on low-profile mags, while summer hail and storms break up the older roads. Many fleet buyers want a quote that covers alignment and tyres for dozens of vehicles at once.
The requests we see from Pretoria usually come from:
- Private car owners: the machine that lets a shop save a pothole-bent mag instead of replacing it
- Dealers, panel shops and insurers: a reconditioning shop repairing wheels for dealers before cars are sold
- Tyre shops and wheel workshops: a mag repair or tyre shop adding straightening and diamond cutting
