It is said that to stand still is to go backwards, that survival and prosperity depend on constantly moving the goalposts and looking relentlessly forward.
If you want an example of this in the real world, a look at Bikeshop Rivonia is instructive; there is always progress being made and, if a couple of months pass between visits, it is likely you’ll find something new and interesting has happened.
Right now, the next big chapter is being written as Carshop Rivonia comes online in another area of the premises. It’s a logical move – every bike rider also drives a car or is, at least, fascinated by them, no matter how much they pretend otherwise…; and it’s a move that offers something for everyone under one roof.
In the six years since Bikeshop Rivonia started operating, they’ve expanded to the point where they’ve had to move next door into much larger premises, vastly increased the accessories and apparel spaces and selection, initiated both buying and selling innovations, increased workshop capacity, introduced new and experienced staff members and, basically, become the go-to location for both new and used motorcycles in Gauteng (and, indeed, South Africa as a whole).
By moving into the four-wheeled space, the journey has come full circle, and you can guarantee that the men and women behind the success of Bikeshop will bring the same innovative and forward-thinking to Carshop Rivonia.
What is more important is that Carshop won’t be solely concentrating on exotic sports cars that are out of the reach of most of us. The focus will be on all things motoring, from basic commuter cars and bakkies, classic collector’s cars, all the way up to the exotic side. Also on show will be boats, trailers, jet skis, golf carts, and more. Carshop Rivonia will certainly be a one-stop shop.
2026 is going to be a year of growth and success for Carshop Rivonia, mirroring what its two-wheeled neighbour has achieved. For now, we can’t tell you more than that; you’ll just have to keep an eye on Bikeshop Rivonia’s and Carshop Rivonia’s social media, website, and, of course, call in to the showroom and take a look for yourself.
