We buy vehicles that have suffered fire damage, electrical fires, complete burnouts, engine compartment fires, or partial fire damage. This includes privately owned cars and small business fleet vehicles. We accept vehicles in any condition and work nationwide, so whether the vehicle is on a driveway in Pretoria or at a farm near George, we can arrange collection.

Why choose a specialist removal service?

• Paperwork simplified: We assist with deregistration, transfer documents and provide a clear receipt for the transaction.

Typical steps in a removal

• You upload vehicle details and photos using our online form.
• We provide an obligation-free offer based on condition and salvage demand.
• On acceptance we schedule free towing and handle the collection logistics.
• We complete admin including deregistration where applicable and release payment promptly after collection.

How our burnt-out car removal service works

1. Upload vehicle details

Use our online form to enter make, model, year, location and several clear photos of the damage. This lets us assess fire damage remotely and return an obligation-free offer quickly.

2. Receive and review the offer

We send a clear cash offer that reflects salvage and scrap values in the South African market. If you accept, choose a convenient collection date.

3. Collection, paperwork and payment

We arrange free towing nationwide and handle administrative tasks including vehicle deregistration guidance or transfer documentation. Payment is released and verified after collection so you receive funds quickly.

Practical points for South African owners

• Deregistering: We help with the process and provide the receipts you need for the local traffic department where applicable.
• Vehicles under finance: Inform your finance provider; we can liaise with them to settle or transfer obligations where necessary.
• Environmental handling: Batteries, oils and other hazardous parts are removed and disposed of in line with South African regulations.

Examples and timelines

Example: A privately owned sedan with an engine-bay fire in Cape Town can often be assessed and quoted within 24 hours, with towing arranged within 48-72 hours depending on location. These timelines vary with remote locations and municipal working days. Payment is typically released on or shortly after collection.
