What to know locally in Stellenbosch
Curb rash on premium SUV and sports car mags from narrow town streets and estates is the most common job in Stellenbosch. Repairers in Plankenbrug and Somerset West straighten, refinish and powder coat, and some diamond cut. Farm bakkies and trailers bring bent steel wheels. A cracked wheel or one welded before should be replaced, not repaired again.
Stellenbosch: the roads, the vehicles and the workshops
Oak-lined streets, a university and some of the best-known wine estates in the country give Stellenbosch an unusual mix of wheels. Students drive small hatchbacks over the town's speed humps and narrow kerbs, while estate owners and visitors bring premium SUVs and sports cars with low-profile tyres. Farm bakkies, tractors and trailers use gravel roads between the vineyards, and the Helshoogte Pass on the R310 is steep and winding. Tyre shops and wheel repairers are around the Plankenbrug industrial area and Technopark, with more in Somerset West. Winter rain fills potholes on the R44 and older streets, and summer heat bakes tyres parked in the sun.
