Sell a Car with Engine Failure in George - Fast Cash & Free Towing

Who we help in George

We work with private owners and small business fleets in George, Wilderness, Mossel Bay and the Garden Route who need a straightforward way to turn a car with engine failure into cash. Common situations include seized engines, major internal damage, blown head gaskets, or cars that refuse to crank after a breakdown.

Why selling can be the smarter option

• Repair estimates for engine rebuilds or replacements in South Africa often run into thousands of rand and can exceed the vehicle’s market value.
• Selling avoids recurring storage, towing and inspection costs while freeing up time and cash.
• We handle deregistration and transfer admin so you don’t have to visit licensing offices.

What we buy

We purchase vehicles with engine failure regardless of make, model or age - from compact cars to light commercial vehicles. For examples of similar situations and tailored forms, see our Sell Non-Running Car page and our Sell Damaged Cars page for more details on accepted conditions.

Inclusions and typical timeframes

Practical tips to speed up your sale

• Include multiple photos of the engine bay, VIN plate, and any visible damage.
• Have proof of ownership and ID ready to speed paperwork.
• If the vehicle is under finance, inform us early so we can coordinate with the lender - we can still buy financed vehicles in many cases.
