Sell Your Broken Car in Johannesburg - Towing Included, Fast Payment

Quick way to sell a broken car in Johannesburg

If your vehicle is broken, won’t start, or has accident damage in Johannesburg or the surrounding Gauteng area, turning it into cash should be straightforward and low stress. We buy vehicles in any condition - accident-damaged, mechanically failed, flood- or fire-damaged, written-off or non-running - and include free towing from your location. Our approach suits private owners and small business fleets that need a quick, reliable sale without advertising, tyre-kickers or towing fees.

Why choose a specialised buyer

Specialist buyers understand salvage demand, local transport logistics and the paperwork that follows a sale in South Africa. That means a faster offer, coordinated collection and help with deregistration so the transfer is clean. Learn more about our approach on our About / How it works page.

What we accept in Johannesburg

• Accident-damaged and written-off vehicles
• Non-running cars and engines seized or damaged
• Flood or fire-damaged vehicles
• Small fleet vehicles needing disposal

If your vehicle won’t move, you don’t need to arrange a tow. Free collection is part of the service, whether you’re in central Johannesburg, Sandton, Roodepoort, Soweto or nearby suburbs. For details on selling non-running vehicles, see our Sell Non-Running Car page.

Transparent, online-first valuation

Start by uploading make, model, year, damage description and photos using our online form. We return a competitive cash offer that reflects market salvage demand and the vehicle’s condition. Offers are obligation-free so you can compare options without commitment.

How the process works - simple steps

Once you accept an offer we organise towing from your Johannesburg address at no cost, complete the required paperwork (including assistance with deregistration where applicable) and arrange payment. Typical steps are:

• Upload vehicle details and photos online.
• Receive a no-obligation cash offer tailored to the vehicle’s condition.
• Accept the offer and schedule free collection.
• We collect, handle the administration and release fast payment to your nominated account.

Practical notes: finance, paperwork and payment

If the vehicle is under finance, inform us before accepting an offer so we can coordinate settlement with the lender. We assist with the transfer paperwork and provide the necessary documentation for deregistration where applicable. Payment is normally by electronic bank transfer to your nominated account once collection and paperwork are complete.

What happens after collection

After we collect your vehicle in Johannesburg we finalise paperwork and transfer funds. If you need help locating the deregistration forms or want a copy of the sale documents, we provide these for your records.

Tips to prepare for pickup

• Have keys and ownership documents ready where possible.
• Photograph the car from multiple angles for your files.
• If under finance, notify your lender and prepare payoff details.
