How we assess fire-damaged vehicles

Valuation for a fire-damaged car factors in the vehicle's make, model, year, pre-fire market value, extent of fire and smoke damage, and salvage demand for parts. To start the process you upload photos and details on our website; we return a transparent cash offer based on condition and market demand.

If you want a clear explanation of what we buy and how condition affects offers, see our Sell Damaged Cars page. For an overview of our company and processes, check our About / How it works information.

Safety note: do not attempt to move or start a fire-damaged vehicle until it is declared safe. Fire-damaged cars can have hazardous residues, compromised wiring and weakened structures that pose risks during towing; our teams follow safe-handling procedures when collecting vehicles.

Examples and South Africa notes

Example: A privately owned hatchback with an engine-bay fire may retain value through undamaged mechanical components; offers depend on make, year and condition. All monetary examples and outcomes are estimates; final offers reflect the on-site verification and current salvage market demand in South Africa (prices shown in R where used).
