Welkom notes on towing
Welkom tow operators work from the industrial area and near the mine shafts, covering the R30 and R34 towards Virginia, Odendaalsrus and Hennenman. Flatbeds take cars from Riebeeckstad and Thabong to workshops in town, and heavy recovery is needed for mine trucks and buses. After a crash, check whether your insurer wants its own operator, and take a photo of the truck and slip.
