It definitely seems as if their approach is paying off.“We see ourselves as a fitment company with a difference. While many of our industrymates make it their focus to cater for commercial and fleet clients, we think it’s vastly important to not only promote tyre education among private road users, but also nuture an enviroment and offer a service that ensures that as many road users as possible are travelling on our roads safely,” said Ken Joeseph, who is part of the Wangara Automotive Group management.“After all, a single driver with compromised wheels, tyres, brakes or suspension, poses a risk to many other road users and not simply themselves,” he added.Their ultra-modern, state-of-the-art showrooms and service centres, offer a wide variety of alloy wheels and major tyre brands, as well as high-tech 3D wheel alignment, wheel balancing, vehicle maintainance services and much more, at incredibly competitive prices.

We also make sure to do a thorough safety check on all our clients’ vehicles, so that even if they do not make use of our one-stop shop mechanical services to rectify it immediately, they are at least aware of any issues,” Joeseph said.“This once again proves that we place the safety and wellbeing of our clients, far above profits. We even go as far as testing new tyres that we acquire on our personal family vehicles, so that we can confidently recommend them to our clients. That is the culture we want to promote, not only in the industry, but also amongst the public,” he added.Be sure to watch this space as this wholly Namibian and completely customer-centric tyre fitment and vehicle maintainance group go on to lead the revolution in their industry.Make a point of stopping at one of their locations for all your fitment, suspension and mechanical needs.Contact them at 061 222 688 or 081 738 7630 for a free quote or have them assist you with a NaTIS roadworthiness pre-inspection, to ensure a speedy and dissapiontment-free official inspection.What to consider when choosing the right tyre:This depends greatly on the kind of car you drive and the type of driving you do.
