If your vehicle is accident-damaged, non-running, fire- or flood-affected, or written off, taking it to a traditional scrap yard can be time-consuming and may involve towing fees, unclear valuations and extra admin. A scrap-yard alternative in Durban offers a smoother route: an online valuation, transparent offers, free collection from the Durban metro and surrounding eThekwini areas, and quick payment.
Private owners, accident victims and small-business fleets in Durban and the surrounding KZN areas often prefer a hassle-free sale that converts a damaged vehicle into cash fast. Our process is built for people who want straightforward steps, minimal admin and clear payment terms.
Local note: We collect across greater Durban - from Umhlanga and La Lucia to Durban North, the Bluff and Chatsworth - offering free towing so you don’t pay to move a non-running vehicle.
Accident-damaged cars, non-runners, written-off vehicles, flood or fire damaged and salvage vehicles - we buy in any condition. If you're comparing options, see why many choose our service over a scrap yard by visiting our Sell Damaged Cars page for examples and scope.
We provide clear, obligation-free offers based on vehicle data and condition. To learn more about how our valuations and processes work, read our About / How it works page.
Our online process is designed to be completed from home: upload vehicle details and photos, receive an immediate cash offer, accept if you choose, and we arrange free towing and handle the paperwork. For non-running vehicles, see our dedicated guidance on the Sell Non-Running Car page.

Example scenarios (estimates shown in R and indicative only): if a coastal vehicle has flood-related electrical damage, repair costs can quickly exceed retained value - owners often prefer a straightforward sale and free tow. For non-running fleet vehicles, selling to a specialist avoids downtime and costly storage fees in Durban yards.
