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.
Who asks for wheel balancing around Randburg, most often first:
- Private car owners: a shake through the steering wheel on the highway after a pothole knocked a weight off
- Enthusiasts, 4x4 and performance drivers: large low-profile wheels and big 4x4 tyres that need careful, hidden weights
- Tyre shops and wheel workshops: wheel repairers sending straightened or refinished wheels for a final balance
