Repairs can be expensive, and busy Durban owners often face long wait times and uncertain repair quality. Selling to a specialist avoids towing costs, lengthy repair timelines and the risk of post-repair issues. We accept cars in any condition and take care of deregistration and transfer admin where required.
| Repair type | Typical repair cost (R, estimate) | Typical impact on private sale value |
|---|---|---|
| Minor panel and bumper repairs | R3,000 - R12,000 (estimate) | Small uplift, but still marked as repaired |
| Structural or chassis repairs | R20,000 - R80,000+ (estimate) | Significant cost; resale value may not cover repair spend |
| Engine or major mechanical rebuilds | R10,000 - R60,000 (estimate) | Value uplift depends on mileage and service history |
Estimates above are South Africa-specific and intended to illustrate typical ranges; actual costs vary by vehicle make, model and extent of damage. If repair costs approach or exceed anticipated resale value, selling for cash is often the more practical choice.
If your vehicle won’t start, see our dedicated guidance on selling non-running cars at Sell Non-Running Car.
Service note: We offer free towing across Durban and surrounding areas. Collection is arranged at a time that suits you, and we support private owners and small business fleets with minimal paperwork required.
| Damage type | Typical offer impact |
|---|---|
| Cosmetic (panels, paint) | Smaller reduction; straightforward to remarket or part out |
| Structural/frame damage | Larger reduction due to repair complexity and safety concerns |
| Mechanical failure / non-running | Offer reflects parts and salvage demand rather than road-ready value |
| Flood or fire damage | Significant impact; often classified as salvage or written-off |
Every vehicle is assessed on its specifics - age, market demand in South Africa, parts value and repairability. We provide transparent reasoning behind each offer so you can make an informed choice.
If your car was involved in a recent collision and you’re in Durban North, Bluff, Pinetown or surrounding suburbs, we can usually collect the same week after you accept our offer. Fleet managers with multiple damaged units can arrange consolidated collections and simplified invoicing.
