Repairers and tyre shops in Potchefstroom
Students, soldiers and farmers share the roads in Potchefstroom. Every year a new wave of university students arrives with older hatchbacks, worn tyres and mags scraped on campus kerbs, while the military base and government departments run fleets of their own. 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.
