Car towing in Randburg is busy on Beyers Naude Drive and Malibongwe Drive, where older commuter cars break down at peak times. Rollback trucks from Strijdom Park and Kya Sand move cars from Linden, Blairgowrie and Northcliff. Heavy wreckers clear trucks on the N1 near the Malibongwe interchange. After a crash on Bram Fischer Drive, take a photo of the tow truck and the slip.
Towing in Randburg
Randburg is a busy residential and commercial area northwest of Johannesburg, with towing work centred on Beyers Naude Drive, Malibongwe Drive, Bram Fischer Drive and the N1 western bypass near the Malibongwe and Beyers Naude interchanges. Older commuter cars, small business vans and family cars make up much of the work. The industrial areas in Strijdom Park and Kya Sand bring trucks and light commercial vehicles needing tows. Northcliff Hill and the steep streets of Linden and Blairgowrie can be hard on old brakes and gearboxes. Highveld storms with hail often cause crashes and flooding, especially near the Jukskei and the lower roads around Ferndale. Residents and small businesses ask for tows, tow bars and trailers here.
The requests we see from Randburg usually come from:

- Company fleets and rental firms: electric and hybrid pool cars moved flat between depots and service centres
