What to know locally in Benoni
Wheel bearings are a Benoni speciality: boat trailers backed into the lakes, caravans heading out on long trips and horse boxes from the holdings all need bearings checked and repacked. Tyre shops also see bakkie all-terrain fitment and alignment. Mobile services reach Putfontein and Rynfield for punctures. Ask about trailer tyre age, because tyres that sit for months crack before the tread wears.
Wheels and roads in Benoni
Benoni has a split personality for tyres. Suburbs around its lakes, such as Lakefield, Farrarmere and Northmead, are full of family SUVs and double cabs towing boats and caravans to weekend water spots, so trailer tyres and wheel bearings come up often. Out east, agricultural holdings in Rynfield and Putfontein bring bakkies, horse boxes and small tractors along dusty roads. Apex and the industrial areas near Benoni South hold tyre wholesalers, truck workshops and engineering firms. The town's main roads were built for lighter traffic and now carry heavy trucks, so potholes and broken edges appear quickly after summer rain. Commuter tyre work comes from Daveyton and Crystal Park.
Typical wheel balancing requests in the area come from:
- Private car owners: a shake through the steering wheel on the highway after a pothole knocked a weight off
- Farms: farm bakkies that lose weights on corrugated gravel roads
- Truck, bus and taxi operators: minibus taxis and buses whose front wheels shake on long runs between towns
