Vehicles and driving in Welkom

Welkom grew up as the centre of the Free State goldfields and is known for its wide, planned streets and many traffic circles. Gold mining has scaled down over the years, but mines, contractors and engineering workshops still run fleets of bakkies, underground support vehicles and trucks that need specialised electrical maintenance. Surrounding maize and sunflower farms depend on tractors and harvesters during the planting and harvest seasons. Welkom's dry heat in summer and sharp frost in winter both take their toll on batteries. Taxis linking the town with Thabong, Odendaalsrus and Virginia also keep auto electricians busy.

It depends on the vehicle, the fault, the parts needed and whether the work is done in a workshop or on site. After-hours and roadside call-outs usually cost more. Send the form and an auto electrician serving Welkom will quote you.

Can an auto electrician come to me in Welkom?

What should I do before the auto electrician arrives?

Note any warning lights and when the fault happens, keep the keys and spare remote handy, and don't keep trying to start a vehicle that only clicks. That helps the auto electrician find the fault faster.
