Free Salvage Vehicle Pickup in South Africa - Fast, Nationwide Collection

What we collect

We buy vehicles in any condition: total loss/write-off after an accident, flood-damaged, fire-damaged, mechanically failed or completely non-running. Whether the vehicle is at a Johannesburg yard, a Cape Town driveway or a Durban repair shop, our nationwide scrap vehicle collection covers metropolitan and regional addresses nationwide.

Why free salvage vehicle pickup matters

Transporting a salvage vehicle can be costly and complex - especially when the car won't start or is legally written off. Free salvage vehicle pickup removes towing expenses and the logistical headache. We also handle deregistration and transfer paperwork, reducing your admin and lowering the risk of errors that can delay payment.

Service highlights

• Free towing from any SA location, including Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban and surrounding areas.
• We purchase vehicles in any condition and provide a competitive cash offer.
• Paperwork handled - we assist with deregistration, transfer and any required documentation.
• Fast payment once collection is complete and documents are verified.

Typical timeline

From online submission to collection the process often takes 24-72 hours in metro areas and a few days in remote regions. After you accept the offer we schedule towing, complete paperwork on collection and release payment promptly.

How the free salvage vehicle pickup process works

1. Submit vehicle details and photos via our online form (make, model, year, damage description and location).
2. Receive a transparent, obligation-free cash offer based on condition and salvage market demand.
3. Accept the offer and schedule free salvage vehicle pickup at a convenient time.
4. We collect the vehicle, verify paperwork (including ID and vehicle documents), handle deregistration if required, and release payment promptly.

South Africa-specific considerations

• Vehicles under finance: inform your lender - we can liaise with finance houses to settle outstanding balances as part of the sale process.
• Written-off vehicles: offers reflect salvage value and market demand; acceptance follows document checks and collection.
• Deregistration: we assist with the necessary forms to help remove the vehicle from your name where applicable.

Tips to prepare for pickup

• Have the vehicle registration (logbook) or proof of ownership ready.
• Provide clear photos of damage, VIN/chassis number and odometer reading.
• If the vehicle is on finance, have lender contact details available.

Trusted, low-risk collection and payment

Our process is designed to be transparent and secure: offers are based on vehicle data, collection is confirmed in writing, and payment is made after paperwork verification. This reduces delays and helps ensure a smooth transaction for private owners and small business fleets across SA.
