Before you request a call-out in Walvis Bay or Erongo
A quick preparation guide for vehicle owners who need a call-out but want to send the right details first.
Audience: Drivers and businesses requesting help from Walvis Bay, the coast road, or towns inside Erongo.
Move safely if you can
If the vehicle is in a dangerous position, focus on safety first. Move only if it is safe and the vehicle can move without making the fault worse. If it cannot move, say that clearly in the first message.
A roadside request should never hide the risk. Tell the team if the vehicle is loaded, on a shoulder, near traffic, at a port gate, or stuck where access is difficult.
Send one complete message
A complete WhatsApp message saves time: vehicle, registration country, live location, fault description, warning light, whether it can move, photos or video, and the contact number. This matches the public roadside enquiry flow on the site.
Dieselman Nam quotes call-out and roadside assistance per job. The site does not publish fixed response times or fixed call-out prices.
Keep the phone available
After sending the request, keep the contact phone on. The team may need to confirm the fault, ask for another photo, or decide whether the vehicle should be assessed on the road or at a workshop.
