Need to sell a broken car with free towing in South Africa? Get a fair cash offer, nationwide collection, and paperwork sorted. Hassle-free for accident, non-running, or salvage vehicles.
If you have a car that no longer runs, has mechanical faults, or is accident-damaged, getting rid of it shouldn't add more stress. Sell Your Damaged Car specialises in buying broken vehicles across South Africa, providing a straightforward, transparent process that includes free towing no matter your location-from Johannesburg and Cape Town to Durban, Bloemfontein, Pretoria, Port Elizabeth, and surrounding regions.
Instead of worrying about how to move a non-runner, arranging costly transport, or dealing with time-wasters through private sales, our tailored service lets you upload brief details and photos to get a competitive cash offer. From individual owners to small business fleets, our process makes it simple to sell a broken car quickly, with paperwork and collection sorted for you.
No matter your car's issue, our free nationwide towing means you don't pay for collection or need to manage logistics - ideal when the vehicle can't move under its own power.
Once you accept our cash offer, we handle all arrangements. Collection is scheduled at a time that suits you, and professional tow operators collect the vehicle securely from your address, panel shop, or storage facility-no hidden fees, no surprise charges.
| Towing Location | Covered Cost | Timing |
|---|---|---|
| Johannesburg, Pretoria | Free | Within 24-48 hours |
| Cape Town & Western Cape | Free | Within 48 hours |
| Durban & KZN | Free | Within 48 hours |
| Other SA Locations | Free | Subject to distance, typically within 3 days |
By offering this inclusive service, we remove one of the biggest obstacles to selling a broken car-ideal if your vehicle can't legally or safely be driven.
Whether your vehicle is registered to a finance company, company fleet, or stranded at a repairer, our process helps coordinate the correct paperwork and liaise with all parties involved. This covers:
Once collected, we verify payment and complete deregistration with local authorities. Your damaged vehicle typically enters the licensed salvage market-either for parts recycling or, where legal and viable, responsible repairs under regulatory oversight. No further obligations rest with you as the previous owner.
