turn car service waiting time into productive work hours in george
work from kanwerk coworking space while your car gets serviced at nearby george dealerships - transform waiting time into billable hours.
Drop your car at george dealerships like halfway toyota or outeniqua motors, walk to kanwerk coworking at 23 market street, and work productively with professional workspace, wifi, and coffee while your vehicle gets serviced - turning waiting time into billable hours.
you drop your car off at the dealership at 8am for its scheduled service. the service advisor says it’ll be ready “around lunch time, maybe 1pm.”
that’s five hours of your workday.
the traditional waiting room dilemma
most people face two equally unappealing choices:
option one: sit in the dealership waiting room for hours, trying to work from your phone, watching reruns on the mounted tv, drinking mediocre coffee from the machine, and checking the time every fifteen minutes.
option two: arrange transport home, disrupt your morning schedule, lose productive hours, then coordinate getting back to collect your car later - adding complexity and time to an already inconvenient service day.
there’s a better approach.
the productive alternative in george
drop your car at your george dealership, then walk or drive five minutes to kanwerk at 23 market street. spend those service hours working productively from proper workspace with everything you need.
when your car is ready, you’re close by to collect it - and you’ve turned waiting time into billable hours.

beyond car service days
once you experience productive workspace during service appointments, you might realize it works for other situations too:
- regular service schedules: if you service your car monthly or quarterly, an 8-day hot desk package (r1,000/month) provides workspace whenever you need it
- extended repairs: when service takes longer than expected, you’re already set up to continue working instead of scrambling for alternatives
- other waiting scenarios: any appointment that leaves you with 2-4 hours of potential productive time
the cost perspective
dealership waiting room: zero financial cost, significant productivity cost - five hours of scrolling your phone or watching tv instead of doing billable work.
arranging transport: r100-200 for uber or taxi both ways, plus the time spent coordinating rides and waiting for transport, plus disrupted work schedule.
kanwerk day pass: r150 for full-day professional workspace access - turn waiting time into actual productive hours that potentially pay for themselves many times over.
for freelancers, consultants, or anyone who bills by the hour, a single focused morning at kanwerk can generate more revenue than the day pass costs.
making it work for you
occasional needs: book individual day passes (r150) whenever your car needs service. no commitment, just workspace when you need it.
regular service schedule: if you service your vehicle monthly or have regular maintenance patterns, an 8-day hot desk package (r1,000 monthly) provides flexible workspace for car service days plus other remote work needs.
try it next service appointment: book your next car service at one of george’s dealerships, then reserve a day pass at kanwerk for the same day. experience the difference between waiting room frustration and productive workspace.
transform dead time into work time
your car needs service whether you like it or not. the appointment happens regardless.
the only variable is what you do with those hours.
sit in a waiting room, or work productively from professional space - the choice changes everything about service day stress.
