What to know locally in George
Workshops on the Garden Route buy tyre changers, balancers and aligners from suppliers in George Industria or have them delivered from Cape Town, which takes a few days. Ask about installation and service visits, since the nearest technician may be far. Truck tyre equipment and heavy jacks suit the N2 trade. Second hand machines are a good option for smaller shops.
George: the roads, the vehicles and the workshops
George is the main service town on the Garden Route, set between the Outeniqua Mountains and the sea on the N2. The Outeniqua Pass carries trucks and holiday traffic over the mountains to Oudtshoorn and the Karoo, and its long descents heat brakes and wear tyres. Forestry trucks, farm bakkies and caravans add to the mix, while gravel passes and farm roads around Wilderness and Blanco cut sidewalls. The town has an airport, a growing retirement and holiday population, and many SUVs and double cabs. Tyre shops, wheel repairers and alignment centres are in George Industria and along York Street. Rain can fall in any season, so wet roads and potholes are a year-round concern.
Typical wheel alignment machines requests in the area come from:
- Private car owners: not usually a buyer, but the reason a tyre shop can print before and after readings
- Farms: a rural tyre shop on the platteland aligning bakkies that live on gravel roads
- Company and rental fleets: an in-house workshop aligning delivery vans and bakkies on a schedule instead of outsourcing
