What to know locally in Vanderbijlpark

Ask whether crack welding and diamond cut recuts are done locally or sent to Johannesburg, and whether a refurbished set will be balanced and leak tested before collection.
Wheels and roads in Vanderbijlpark
Vanderbijlpark was built as a steel town, and the steelworks still sets the pace for its tyre trade. Heavy trucks carrying coil, plate and scrap run between the plant, the industrial areas and the R59 and R57, and their tyres and steel rims take a beating on roads worn by decades of heavy loads. Contractor bakkies and works fleets add constant tyre and alignment work. On weekends, the Vaal River brings boat trailers, caravans and jet ski trailers, so bearing jobs pick up in summer. Sebokeng, Bophelong and the town itself are home to many minibus taxis and commuter hatchbacks. For diamond cutting or delicate alloy crack welding, some owners still look to Johannesburg.
