Fire-Damaged Car Pickup Service - Fast Collection & Paperwork Nationwide

What we buy and why our pickup service helps

We purchase vehicles affected by engine fires, electrical fires, interior or boot fires, and cars that are declared written-off by insurers. Fire damage can make a vehicle unsafe, immobile or uneconomical to repair. Selling to a specialist simplifies the process: a transparent cash offer based on condition, free towing from your location and handled paperwork including deregistration where required.

Where we collect

• Major metros: Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban - same process and no additional towing charge.
• Suburban and regional locations across South Africa: we coordinate logistics to reach most accessible addresses.
• Fleet accounts: we arrange scheduled pickups for businesses with multiple fire-damaged vehicles.

Why free pickup matters

Fire-damaged vehicles are often unsafe to move and expensive to transport. Our free fire-damaged car pickup service removes that barrier and reduces the seller's cost and risk. After you accept the offer, we book collection at a time that works for you and handle safe loading and transport to our salvage partner or recycling facility, depending on the vehicle's status.

How the fire-damaged car pickup service works

1. Upload vehicle details and photos: Make, model, year, mileage, clear photos showing fire damage and VIN/license when possible.
2. Receive an obligation-free cash offer: We return a quote based on the information provided and market salvage values.
3. Accept and schedule pickup: Choose a collection time; towing is free nationwide and includes safe loading.
4. We handle paperwork & payment: Paperwork support includes transfer or deregistration steps and near-instant payment once collection is completed and verified.

What to prepare before pickup

• Photos showing overall vehicle condition and fire-affected areas.
• Vehicle registration papers and proof of ownership (or finance clearance documents if applicable).
• Any available service history or insurer reports - helps with quicker valuation.

Safety, legality and payment

We operate within South African regulations for salvage and vehicle transfer. If the vehicle is under finance, we assist with lender contact and settlement requirements so the transfer can proceed. After collection and confirmation of vehicle condition, payment is released quickly and verified to your nominated bank account.

South Africa-specific considerations

• Deregistration and transfer processes follow national eNaTIS/RTMC requirements; we assist with the paperwork to reduce delays.
• If the vehicle is insured and declared a total loss, insurer paperwork can speed up valuation - have those documents ready.
• For fleet managers in metros like Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban, we offer coordinated pickups and consolidated settlement to simplify accounting.
