What to know locally in East London
Car transport runs from the West Bank plants and city dealers to buyers in Gqeberha, Mthatha and Gauteng.

Farmers and rural motorists inland toward Qonce, Bhisho and Stutterheim call for recovery from muddy gravel roads. Ask for the storage rate per day before a car goes to a yard.
Towing in East London
East London is a port city on the Buffalo River, linked inland by the N2 to Qonce and Mthatha and by the N6 to Komani. The city runs on a large vehicle assembly plant, component factories and the port. Trucks loaded with new cars and parts run between the West Bank industrial area and the N2. Commuters travel between Mdantsane, the CBD and Beacon Bay on Oxford Street, the N2 and the R72 coastal road. Rain and mist often roll in off the sea, and the inland climb toward Qonce brings fog. People ask for car tows, car transport for dealers, tow bars for boat trailers and recovery on the rural roads inland.
The requests we see from East London usually come from:
- Dealers, panel beaters and workshops: small dealers and workshops collecting stock on a quiet day
- Motorists and families: bringing home a project car or a non-runner bought from a private seller
- Truckers, buses and logistics: carrying a light support vehicle behind a bakkie to a new depot
