Sell a Car That Won't Start in Pretoria - Free Towing & Fast Payment

What we buy and who this helps

We purchase vehicles in any condition including non-starting cars, accident-damaged, fire- or flood-affected, written-off and salvage vehicles. This service is suited to private owners, estate executors and small business fleets in Pretoria who want a fast, low-hassle way to turn an immobile vehicle into cash without arranging tow trucks or handling deregistration themselves.

Common scenarios

• Engine seized or won’t crank after a breakdown
• Car written off by an insurer or deemed uneconomical to repair
• Flood or fire damage that left the car non-running

How our Pretoria process keeps things simple

Start by uploading key details and photos of your vehicle. Within a short time you receive an obligation-free offer reflecting the car's condition and local salvage demand in the Pretoria area. If you accept, we book free towing from your address, complete the necessary paperwork (including handing over documents for deregistration where relevant) and pay you promptly after collection.

Learn more about selling non-running vehicles on our dedicated page: Sell Non-Running Car, or read about how our process works on the About / How it works page.

What affects your offer for a non-starting car

Offers reflect the vehicle's make, model, year, mileage, extent of mechanical or collision damage, availability of keys and documentation, and the local salvage market. Location-specific logistics for Pretoria (access, parking restrictions, distance to recovery yards) are also considered.

We accept all of the above damage types. For details on selling damaged vehicles, see our Sell Damaged Cars page.
