Supa Quick in the heart of Windhoek’s central business district is not only a tyre fitment expert, but also specialises in a range of automotive services including batteries, shocks absorbers, wheel alignment and wheel balancing. 

As an international franchise, Supa Quick in Windhoek has been operating as a wholly-owned Namibian company for more than 30 years. 

This has resulted in the Supa Quick outlet continuing to invest in the latest equipment and constant skills development. One of the latest investments, explained director and owner Walter Wiese, is a state-of-the-art wheel alignment machine that constituted an investment of over N$500 000. 

This wheel alignment machine incorporates four cameras to provide a more precise three-dimensional optical measurement for the most accurate wheel alignment service. 

The totally-revamped Supa Quick premises now also boasts a Performance Bay, where all high-end and luxury vehicles are serviced. This includes the fitment of high diameter rims. This Performance Bay ensures vehicles and rims are not damaged in any way during the fitment, alignment or balancing process. 

Wiese added that Supa Quick is also a shock absorber specialist, fitting and advising on a wide range of shocks, from off-roading to normal shock absorbers. 

“We also focus on batteries, from normal to luxury vehicles. 

The battery is one of the most important components in your vehicle, so I urge all vehicle owners and operators to consult us when it comes to replacing the battery. Even when it comes to jump-starting the vehicle when the battery is flat is a very precise process. So, contact us as the professionals, and we can even test your battery for free and provide free consultation,” he added. 

Supa Quick Windhoek currently boasts 14 full-time staff, who Wiese described as a close-knit professional community. “We ensure our dedicated and expert staff is upskilled at least every six months to a year. Also, staff are adequately trained on every new specialised equipment we acquire.” 

Commenting on the prevalence of potholes in Windhoek and many parts of the country after the recent heavy rains, Wiese advised motorists to drive slowly to avoid damaging tyres and rims. 

He added: “Please go to the nearest tyre fitment shop to check once you feel you may have damaged your tyre in a pothole. 

There, they can also check the wheel alignment. And, if no damage is immediately detected, then stop periodically to ensure the tyre is not deflating”.
