Bloemfontein: the roads, the vehicles and the workshops
Right in the middle of the country, Bloemfontein is where the N1, N6 and N8 meet, and many long distance drivers stop here when a tyre or wheel gives trouble. Holiday traffic between Gauteng and the coast fills fitment centres in December and at Easter. Daily, commuters from Botshabelo and Thaba Nchu cover long distances, and farms around Bainsvlei bring in bakkies and tractors. Old city streets have their share of potholes. The motor trade is spread along Nelson Mandela Drive and the main routes, with industrial areas such as Hamilton and East End home to tyre wholesalers, mag repairers and truck tyre services. Most rim work, including crack welding and powder coating, is available locally.
The requests we see from Bloemfontein usually come from:
- Private car owners: a kerb scuff from tight parking fixed at home before it corrodes
- Truck, bus and taxi operators: shuttle and chauffeur vehicles kept presentable with quick scuff repairs
