Practical tips to speed up your sale and improve offers

• Provide clear photos of exterior, interior, engine bay and any water-line marks.
• Be honest about mechanical symptoms and previous incidents - transparency avoids delays at collection.
• Have ID and proof of ownership available; if your vehicle is under finance, disclose this early so we can advise on settlement options.

We work with private sellers and fleet managers across metros and outlying areas - from Cape Town’s suburbs to Johannesburg’s outskirts and Durban’s coastal zones - to simplify the sale of water-damaged vehicles and deliver fast, reliable outcomes.
