Towing in Pietermaritzburg
Pietermaritzburg is the capital of KwaZulu-Natal and a key stop on the N3 freight corridor, where trucks between Durban and Gauteng climb Town Hill on the way inland. Town Hill is steep and long, and loaded rigs that overheat or lose brakes there need heavy recovery. In the city, commuter cars and minibus taxis crowd Edendale Road, Chief Albert Luthuli Street and the roads to Northdale. Thick fog sits in the valley on winter mornings and the Midlands get heavy summer thunderstorms. Farmers around Camperdown and Cramond move tractors and bakkies on gravel roads, and families in Hilton and Howick tow horseboxes and caravans to the Midlands Meander. Tow bars, trailers and heavy recovery are all in demand.
The requests we see from Pietermaritzburg usually come from:

- Motorists and families: checking a tow quote is fair before a non-runner goes to the mechanic
