Breakdowns rarely happen at a convenient time. A tow strap, a working spare bulb and a way to jump-start the car cover most of what actually strands people on the side of a South African road.

Greyhound Auto Retail stocks 4 ton tow straps, Osram Night Breaker H4 and H7 bulb sets, indicator and marker bulbs, jump starters, steering wheel locks and garage creepers. Keeping a spare bulb set in the boot is worth doing, since a blown headlight is both a safety risk and a roadworthy failure.
