Towing in Centurion
Centurion sits between Johannesburg and Pretoria, where the N1, the N14 and the R21 meet, so much of its towing work comes from busy freeways and interchanges.

Low-lying roads near the Hennops River and the Centurion lake can flood during heavy summer storms, and hail is common. The town's business parks in Highveld and Route 21 bring fleet and rental car tows, while families in Irene, Eldoraigne and Midstream ask for roadside help and tow bars. Commuters from Olievenhoutbosch often need tows on the R55.
