Johannesburg
Johannesburg's sprawl has shaped how car ownership and maintenance actually work in the city. Long commutes mean vehicles accumulate kilometres quickly, and the mix of highway driving, township roads, and congested suburbs creates predictable wear patterns. Battery failures spike in winter; cooling system problems emerge in summer; suspension components fail year-round. Spares serves a city where independent mechanics, taxi operators, small fleet owners, and DIY enthusiasts all need reliable access to parts without the markup or corporate overhead of large chains. The shop operates within Joburg's informal and formal economy — meeting the needs of both the neighbourhood spaza-style customer and the established garage running multiple vehicles. This positioning reflects how the city actually maintains its transport.
