Rollbacks move new and damaged cars from Struandale and Deal Party to dealers and panel beaters in Newton Park and Korsten. Heavy wreckers recover trucks near the port and on the R75 toward Kariega.
Gqeberha on the road
Gqeberha is the motor manufacturing capital of the Eastern Cape, with vehicle and component plants in Struandale, Deal Party and Kariega. New cars, parts and steel move on the N2 and the R75 every day, and trucks run between the port and the plants. Commuters crowd William Moffett Expressway, Settlers Way and the roads to Motherwell and KwaZakhele. The city is known for strong wind, which pushes caravans and trailers across lanes on the N2 near the Swartkops River. Coastal rain brings slippery roads, and salt air rusts tow bars along the beachfront. People ask for car tows, car transport for dealers and new vehicles, and tow bars for boats, caravans and work trailers.
