Common scrap vehicle situations in Johannesburg

Owners contact us for a range of reasons: post-accident write-offs, flood or fire-damaged cars, long-term non-runners, and fleet vehicles no longer economical to repair. For many private owners and small businesses in Johannesburg the alternative-paying towing, storage and repair quotes-adds up fast.

If you want to know how our process works in practice, see our overview on the About / How it works page. For owners of non-running cars we also have a dedicated resource at Sell Non-Running Car that explains loading and recovery specifics in urban areas like Johannesburg.

What affects collection scheduling and location access

• Site access: narrow lanes, security gates or busy main roads can require special equipment or permits.
• Vehicle condition: severely damaged or burnt vehicles may need additional handling time for safe removal.
• Paperwork readiness: having vehicle documents and ID speeds up collection and payment processing.
