Sell a Car That Won't Start in Durban - Fast Cash, Free Towing

Why sell a non-starting car in Durban?

Repairing a non-running vehicle can be costly and time-consuming - especially when diagnosis points to major electrical, engine or structural issues. For many owners in Durban, selling the car for cash and avoiding towing fees, storage costs and repair uncertainty is a practical option. We buy cars in any condition and arrange collection across Durban, from central suburbs to outlying areas.

What we accept

• Non-starters and vehicles with starter/motor/electrical faults
• Accident-damaged or written-off cars that won’t start
• Flood-damaged, fire-damaged or badly corroded vehicles
• Fleet vehicles from small businesses with mechanical failure

How simple the process is
