How the sale works in Johannesburg

Our Johannesburg fire-damaged vehicle buyers follow a clear four-step process: submit photos and vehicle details, receive a transparent quote, accept the offer, and we collect with free towing and handle the paperwork. For a fast start, you can Upload vehicle details and get an obligation-free quote within hours.

Step-by-step

1. Submit make, model, year, mileage and clear photos - include engine bay and cabin shots.
2. Receive a transparent, no-obligation cash offer based on condition and local salvage demand.
3. Accept the offer and schedule free collection within greater Johannesburg.
4. We complete sale paperwork, assist with deregistration and release payment quickly after collection.

Paperwork, deregistration and vehicles under finance

We help with the administrative steps required in South Africa, including deregistration assistance after sale. If your vehicle is still under finance, disclose that during valuation - lenders have a legal interest in the vehicle and settlement will need to be handled as part of the transfer process. Our team will explain documentation needed to complete the sale and liaise with relevant parties where appropriate.

What to expect after collection

After we collect the vehicle in Johannesburg, we verify the condition against the submitted details, finalise paperwork and arrange payment. Payment is processed promptly once collection and verification are complete. If you want to confirm collection or track progress, use the Confirm collection flow on our site.
