Sandton on the road
Sandton is the business district of Johannesburg, and its towing work is shaped by heavy traffic on the N1 near the Buccleuch interchange, the M1 at Grayston Drive and the busy roads around Rivonia Road and William Nicol Drive. Many of the cars here are newer automatics, all-wheel drives and luxury cars that should only be moved on a flatbed. Underground parking garages in the business district can be tight for tow trucks, so ask about clearance. Company fleets, executive cars and rental vehicles make up much of the work. Highveld storms bring hail and flooding on William Nicol Drive and in Alexandra. Residents of Bryanston, Hyde Park and Rivonia ask for tows and roadside help.
