Mahikeng notes on tyres, alignment & wheel services
Fleet tyres and alignment for government vehicles make up a lot of the work. Long gravel runs toward Zeerust and Lichtenburg mean cut tyres and bearings that need checking. Mobile call-outs reach farms, though distances can be long. Truck tyre services work the N18 near the border. Ask for a full check before a long trip, including the spare, the jack and the wheel nuts.
Mahikeng: the roads, the vehicles and the workshops
As the provincial capital close to the Botswana border, Mahikeng runs on government cars, cattle farms and cross-border trucks. Departments keep fleets of sedans and bakkies that travel long distances to rural offices, often on gravel, while cattle farmers toward Lichtenburg and Zeerust drive double cabs with trailers. Trucks use the N18 to the Ramatlabama border post and the roads toward Gauteng. Many rural roads have potholes and broken edges that bend rims and cut tyres. Tyre and fitment shops are in Mahikeng town and around Mmabatho, mostly along the main roads. For bigger rim jobs, such as crack welding, refurbishing a full set or diamond cutting, wheels often go to Rustenburg or Gauteng.
The requests we see from Mahikeng usually come from:
- Company and rental fleets: rental and courier cars with punctures fixed between bookings so they are not off the road
- Dealers, panel shops and insurers: slow leaks and old plugs found during pre-sale checks on used cars
- Farms: bakkie tyres punctured by thorns and wire on farm tracks
