Pinetown notes on tyres, alignment & wheel services
Trucks coming down Field's Hill and the N3 descent need regular tyre checks, and several fitment centres and truck tyre bays in Westmead and New Germany work on fleet accounts. Ask for alignment after any big pothole on the M13, and a balance if the steering shakes at highway speed. Mobile tyre crews cover the industrial areas and the hilly suburbs, which helps when a bakkie is stuck on a slope.
Pinetown: the roads, the vehicles and the workshops
Few places test brakes, bearings and tyres like the climb out of Durban. Heavy trucks grind up Field's Hill and the N3 through Pinetown on their way to Gauteng, and the descent heats rims and wears tyres on every vehicle that rides it daily. Pinetown is also a working town: the industrial areas of New Germany and Westmead are full of manufacturers, transport yards, tyre wholesalers and wheel workshops, so fleets and trucking operators get much of their tyre and wheel work done here. On the residential side, Kloof and Westville have steep driveways, tight kerbs and mist that rolls in on summer afternoons. Old Main Road and the M13 carry steady commuter traffic and plenty of pothole damage after rain.
Typical wheel alignment requests in the area come from:
- Truck, bus and taxi operators: minibus taxis and light delivery vans whose front tyres wear out on the inside edge
- Company and rental fleets: batches of bakkies and vans aligned on a schedule with a record kept for each vehicle
- Tyre shops and wheel workshops: mechanics sending cars on for alignment after replacing steering or suspension parts
