Fast local solutions for non-running cars in Durban

If your vehicle won’t start, has accident damage or has been written off, selling it quickly in Durban can save time, storage costs and ongoing deterioration. We buy non-running cars in any condition, arrange free towing across Durban and surrounding areas, and process payment shortly after collection.

Why choose a fast sale for a non-running car?

Keeping a non-running vehicle on your driveway or at a repairer can mean daily costs, additional wear and the risk of further damage from weather or vandalism. A fast sale converts that liability into usable funds - while avoiding the uncertainty of long repairs or private-sale negotiations.

  • Free, insured towing from Durban metro and surrounding suburbs at no extra cost.
  • Paperwork handled: transfer and deregistration assistance, and support if the vehicle is under finance.
  • Transparent, obligation-free offers based on condition and salvage market demand.

What to expect at collection and payment

In Durban we aim for same-week collection where possible. On the agreed date our towing team arrives, inspects the vehicle to confirm condition matches the photos, completes transfer paperwork and arranges payment. We provide guidance if your vehicle is still financed - many lenders require settlement or uplift procedures; we help coordinate these steps.

Common vehicle types and typical handling

  • Have documents ready: ID, vehicle registration, and any finance statements. We assist with deregistration where required.
