Make your December journey safer with Point S Barberton

December holidays mean busy roads, long distances, and family cars loaded with luggage. For Barberton drivers, it is a season of excitement, but also one of the highest-risk times to travel. Each year, breakdowns and accidents on South Africa’s roads remind us that a safe journey starts with preparation.

Motoring experts stress that many common holiday mishaps can be prevented with a professional vehicle check before setting out. Tyres with worn tread, brakes overdue for servicing, or even small unnoticed faults can become serious problems once the kilometres begin to add up. A quick check at a trusted workshop can spot issues that the average motorist might overlook.

That’s where Point S Barberton comes in. Originally launched in 2016 as a tyre fitment centre under Supa Quick, the business joined the Point S network in 2021. Today, the team combines more than ten years of hands-on experience in the tyre industry and has grown into a one-stop shop for motorists in Barberton and the surrounding areas.

More than just tyres

Point S Barberton specialises in a wide range of services to keep vehicles roadworthy and reliable:

• Tyre fitment and sales for passenger vehicles, LDVs, trucks, and agricultural vehicles;
• Suspension work, including shocks, brakes, and bearings;
• Wheel alignment for passenger cars, LDVs, 4x4s, Quantum taxis, and trucks;
• Customised exhausts and cattle railings, as well as the replacement of silencers, pipe bending, and welding;
• Number plates (all provinces) and fitment;
• Minor car services;
• Windscreen fitment;
• Battery sales and fitment.

Safety and savings on the road

According to Chris Zeelie, manager at Point S, many drivers underestimate how small details can make a big difference. “People are often surprised at how small details, like the wrong tyre pressure, can affect both fuel use and safety on the road,” he explained. “Checking these things before you travel gives you peace of mind and helps keep your loved ones safe.”

By booking a pre-holiday check at Point S, drivers can avoid costly roadside delays and reduce the risks of long-distance travel. From tyres to suspension, brakes to batteries, the workshop is equipped to pick up on the issues that could otherwise spoil a family trip.
