What to know locally in Paarl
Fitment centres and tyre shops in Paarl handle farm bakkies, tractors, trailers and commuter cars. Hot summers mean checking pressures often, and alignment after rough farm roads helps tyres last. Mobile crews cover the vineyards and Wellington. Truck tyre services work along the N1 near the Du Toitskloof Pass and the tunnel.
Paarl: the roads, the vehicles and the workshops
Paarl is a working wine and fruit town on the N1, at the foot of the Du Toitskloof Pass and the Huguenot Tunnel. Trucks carrying grapes, fruit and freight climb the pass towards the interior, and farm bakkies, tractors and trailers move along gravel roads between the vineyards. Summers are hot, sometimes very hot, which is hard on tyre pressures and rubber, while winters bring heavy rain and potholes on Main Street and the older roads. Tyre shops, wheel repairers and alignment centres are in the Dal Josafat industrial area and along the main roads, with more in Wellington. Commuters from Mbekweni and holiday traffic on the N1 add steady wear and punctures.

- Farms: farm trailers and bakkies whose bearings suffer from dust, water and heavy loads
