Non-Running Car Sales Experts South Africa - Sell Your Non-Starter Fast

Why work with non-running car sales experts in South Africa

If your vehicle won’t start, has major mechanical faults or is written off after an accident, selling to a specialist removes the time and cost of repairs, towing and advertising. Experienced buyers understand salvage demand across South Africa and provide a transparent, competitive cash offer based on condition, make, model and local market demand.

Core benefits for South African owners

• Free nationwide towing from metros and surrounding areas including Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban.
• Paperwork handled - we assist with deregistration and transfer steps required by South African authorities.
• Fast payment after collection, useful for private owners and small business fleets needing cash flow.

How specialists assess non-running cars

Assessments focus on structural damage, engine and transmission condition, VIN history, and salvage demand for parts or refurbishment. Regional salvage markets influence valuations - for example, demand for certain models can be higher in Gauteng than in remote areas. For more about the practical steps we follow, see our Sell Non-Running Car page.

What we accept

• Non-starters and cars that won’t run
• Accident-damaged and written-off vehicles
• Flood or fire-damaged cars and vehicles with major mechanical failure
