Vehicles and driving in Germiston

Germiston has long been one of South Africa's most important railway junctions, and its industrial heartland in Wadeville, Elandsfontein and Germiston South is filled with manufacturers, engineering works and transport yards. The N3, N17 and R21 put it at the centre of East Rand freight movement, so trucks, low-beds and earthmoving equipment regularly need lighting, starter and wiring repairs. Rand Airport, one of the older airfields in Gauteng, sits on the south side of town near Germiston Lake. Commuter taxis serve Katlehong and surrounding townships, and frosty winters bring a steady stream of battery and charging complaints.
