Equipment & supplies in Randburg: local notes
Randburg's motor trade is dense, which helps a new workshop find second hand tyre changers, balancers and compressors from shops that are upgrading. Suppliers deliver valves, patches, wheel weights and wheel nuts to Strijdom Park and Kya Sand regularly. Units are small, so measure floor space and ceiling height before buying a lift or aligner, and check the power supply for three phase machines.
Randburg: the roads, the vehicles and the workshops
Strijdom Park is the place to start when a Randburg wheel needs work. The light industrial suburb off Malibongwe Drive is packed with tyre fitters, mag repairers, exhaust and suspension shops and parts dealers, and many motorists from Ferndale, Linden and Northcliff head there first. The rest of Randburg is older residential ground with steep streets around Northcliff hill, narrow roads in Linden and busy arteries such as Beyers Naude Drive and Republic Road, where potholes and raised kerbs catch wheels. Small hatchbacks, family SUVs and delivery bakkies make up most of the traffic. Further north, Kya Sand adds more industrial workshops and trucks serving the factories there.
Typical wheel balancing machines requests in the area come from:
- Private car owners: the machine that stops a new set of tyres shaking the steering wheel
- Tyre shops and wheel workshops: a tyre shop or mag repairer balancing every wheel that leaves the bay
- Company and rental fleets: a fleet workshop balancing van and bakkie wheels after every tyre change
