If your vehicle won’t start, has major mechanical issues, or is written off after an accident, getting a quick, clear valuation can help you move on.

• Free nationwide collection and towing, including metro and outlying areas.
• We handle deregistration and transfer paperwork to reduce admin for you.

What makes our instant value reliable

Valuations are based on publicly available market data for South Africa, current salvage demand, and the specific condition, age and mileage of your vehicle. While we provide a near-instant online estimate, final offers reflect inspection details after acceptance. Our process is transparent: you receive an obligation-free cash offer and decide whether to proceed.

Quick practical example

A non-running vehicle in Cape Town with a seized engine and intact bodywork will typically get an offer influenced by model, year, and salvage parts demand. We explain what factors most affect the valuation when we return your instant quote so you can make an informed decision.

How the instant valuation process works

1. Upload vehicle details and photos on our homepage. 2. Receive a near-instant indicative value based on submitted information. 3. Accept the offer to schedule collection. 4. We collect the vehicle with free towing, complete paperwork and release fast payment. For a fast start, use the upload form on our homepage.

Features included when you sell

• Free towing from your location anywhere in South Africa.
• Paperwork handled, including deregistration assistance and transfer documentation.
• Fast payment after collection and verification.

What affects the instant value?

Examples of common scenarios in South Africa

• A non-running bakkie with gearbox failure - quicker sale and collection often preferred by businesses to avoid repair costs and downtime.
• A written-off sedan in Johannesburg with repair costs exceeding insured value - owners commonly choose a cash offer and free towing.
• Flood-affected vehicles in coastal areas - disclosed water damage is factored into the valuation and handled transparently.

If your car has additional complications such as outstanding finance, we outline the steps to settle the account and complete transfer. For more on selling damaged vehicles and what to expect, see our Sell Damaged Cars page.
