What to know locally in East London

Tow trucks in East London work the N2 between Mdantsane and the city, Oxford Street and the R72 toward the airport.

Heavy wreckers recover loaded trucks near the West Bank industrial area and the port, and accident tows on the N2 near Mdantsane are a frequent call.

What breaks down and moves in East London

East London is a port city on the Buffalo River, linked inland by the N2 to Qonce and Mthatha and by the N6 to Komani. The city runs on a large vehicle assembly plant, component factories and the port. Trucks loaded with new cars and parts run between the West Bank industrial area and the N2. Commuters travel between Mdantsane, the CBD and Beacon Bay on Oxford Street, the N2 and the R72 coastal road. Rain and mist often roll in off the sea, and the inland climb toward Qonce brings fog. People ask for car tows, car transport for dealers, tow bars for boat trailers and recovery on the rural roads inland.
