We collect fire-damaged vehicles anywhere in South Africa at no extra cost.
We handle admin including deregistration and arrange prompt payment.
If your vehicle has fire damage, you likely want a quick, low-hassle path to cash rather than costly repairs. Selling to a specialist buyer who accepts fire-damaged, written-off or non-running cars removes towing logistics, complex admin and the uncertainty of private buyers. Our process is designed for speed and transparency: submit photos and vehicle details online, receive a competitive cash offer, and schedule free nationwide collection.
Fire damage can hide electrical and structural problems that worsen over time. Storage, further corrosion and missing parts reduce value. For many owners - private sellers and fleet managers in Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban - a fast sale reduces ongoing costs and the burden of arranging transport or temporary repairs.
We purchase vehicles with exterior and interior fire damage, engine bay fires, partial wiring burns and total loss write-offs. We accept vehicles in any condition and arrange free towing nationwide. Learn more about the types of vehicles we buy on our Sell Damaged Cars page.
| Decision | Typical outcome |
|---|---|
| Repair (extensive fire damage) | Often expensive - electrical, interior and structural fixes can run into tens of thousands of rand; lengthy downtime. |
| Sell to specialist buyer | Faster turnaround, free towing, paperwork handled and a clear cash offer without repair risk. |
If speed and certainty matter more than attempting a costly repair, selling to a nationwide buyer is usually the quickest route. For a step-by-step overview of our approach, see How it works.
Our streamlined flow is built for quick transactions. Submit make, model, year, a concise damage description and clear photos; we assess these to issue a transparent cash offer. When you accept, we arrange free towing and complete the required paperwork, including deregistration support where applicable. This keeps the whole sale measurable and low risk for owners across South Africa.
We accept accident, flood, fire, mechanical failure and non-running cars. Our service includes free nationwide collection from metros and surrounds, paperwork assistance and fast payment after collection. For sellers of non-running cars, see our Sell Non-Running Car guidance.
How payment and collection work: After you accept the offer we confirm collection, collect the vehicle with free towing, handle the documented transfer and release payment quickly. Confirm collection and get paid fast by returning to our homepage and choosing Upload vehicle details - Get your free quote or Upload vehicle details.
We operate nationwide - Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban and surrounding areas - and work with owners and small fleets. We provide documented offers, transparent valuations and help with deregistration. If the vehicle is under finance, we coordinate with the lender to ensure a lawful settlement.
