Bellville notes on roadside, recovery & transport
Roadside calls around Tygervalley, Parow and Kuils River are mostly flat batteries, punctures and cars that will not start in winter. Students moving into digs near Bellville or out to Stellenbosch often hire a car trailer or book car transport home at the end of the year. If you break down on the N1, put the triangle well behind the car and wait outside it, behind the barrier where there is one.
Towing in Bellville
Bellville sits in the northern suburbs where the N1 meets Voortrekker Road, Durban Road and the busy routes up to Durbanville, and towing here is mostly about commuters and the motor trade. The N1 between Bellville and Brackenfell is slow at rush hour, and stalled cars on the Old Oak and Durban Road interchanges cause long queues. Car dealers and panel beaters along Voortrekker Road and in Stikland and Bellville South move stock daily. Winter rain from the cold fronts makes the Tygerberg hill roads and the N1 slippery. Students from the nearby universities and colleges, families, dealers and small fleets ask for tows, car transport and trailer hire here more than heavy recovery.
The requests we see from Bellville usually come from:
- Dealers, panel beaters and workshops: dealers delivering new and used heavy machinery and trucks to buyers
- Motorists and families: a classic truck, tractor or project vehicle that cannot go on a car carrier
- Company fleets and rental firms: broken-down delivery trucks and buses moved to the service agent
