Roadside, recovery & transport in Bloemfontein: local notes
Roadside calls in Mangaung, Botshabelo and Thaba Nchu are often flat batteries and punctures, especially on cold winter mornings. Families who break down on the N1 halfway to the coast often book car transport so they can carry on with a rental. Farmers in Bainsvlei book lowbeds for tractors and planters, and storage in the city is charged per day, so ask the rate first.
Towing in Bloemfontein
Bloemfontein sits at the junction of the N1 and N8, so towing here is shaped by through traffic between Gauteng, the Cape and Lesotho. The N1 carries heavy freight trucks and holiday traffic past the city, and the N8 runs to Kimberley in the west and to Thaba Nchu and Maseru in the east. The N6 heads south to the Eastern Cape. Summer storms with hail and winter frost and fog on the highways cause many breakdowns and crashes. Families travelling on holiday, transport firms, government fleets, students and farmers around the city ask for tows, car transport, lowbeds and trailers here.
