Potchefstroom: the roads, the vehicles and the workshops

Around town, maize and cattle farms send bakkies and tractors in on gravel, and the N12 brings trucks through between Johannesburg and Klerksdorp. Tyre shops and alignment centres line the main roads through the centre and toward the N12, with workshops in the industrial area near the railway. Straightening and curb rash repair are done locally. For diamond cut recuts or crack welding, many repairers send the wheel to Johannesburg.
