An instant quote is an estimated cash offer based on make, model, year, reported damage and photos. It reflects current salvage demand and expected dismantling or parts value in South Africa. The quote is obligation-free and can be finalised after a short inspection. For details on our process and guarantees around paperwork, see our How it works page.
This service suits private owners, fleet managers and small businesses with vehicles that are uneconomical to repair, non-running, damaged by accident, flood or fire, or formally written off. If repair estimates exceed likely retained value, an instant scrap quote provides a straightforward alternative to lengthy repairs or risky private sales.
| Condition | How it affects a scrap quote |
|---|---|
| Written-off / heavy structural damage | Typically valued for parts and salvage; quote reflects dismantling and metal recovery. |
| Non-running / mechanical failure | Offers account for usable components and scrapyard value of the shell and drivetrain. |
| Flood or fire damage | Severe corrosion or electrical damage reduces parts recovery; quoted accordingly. |
