We provide obligation-free valuations, free towing across the Western Cape metro and surrounds, and take care of the paperwork so you can get paid without the usual hassles.

What we buy and how offers work

We buy vehicles in any condition. Offers factor in make, model, year, mileage, current condition and salvage demand in South Africa. Our valuation is transparent and tailored to each car’s condition so you understand how an offer was reached. Learn more about the types of vehicles we purchase on our Sell Damaged Cars page and how the process works on our About / How it works page.

Fast local process - what to expect

1. Submit vehicle details and clear photos online - describe damage, location and ownership.
2. Receive a competitive cash offer based on condition and market factors.
3. Accept the offer and we schedule free towing from your Cape Town address.

If your car isn’t running, see our specialised guidance on the Sell Non-Running Car page for tips on photos and location details that speed up collection.

Paperwork, payment and Cape Town collection details

We handle paperwork to make the sale low-effort: ownership transfer steps, deregistration assistance where required, and settlement instructions for near-instant payment after collection. For many sellers in Cape Town this means one less trip to municipal offices or testing stations. We also coordinate collection times to suit Cape Town traffic patterns and secure off-street pick-up where possible.

What affects your offer (practical examples)

• Severe structural/frame damage typically reduces resale or salvage value more than superficial panel damage.
• Recoverable mechanical failures (starter, alternator) often have less impact than irrecoverable flood or fire damage.
• Complete documentation and clear photos usually improve accuracy and speed of offers.

Simple timeline after you accept

Once you accept, we confirm a collection window for Cape Town, tow the vehicle for free, complete the transfer paperwork and release payment to your nominated account. Payment is processed promptly after collection and verification.

Tips to get the best, fastest result

• Provide multiple photos: overall vehicle, engine bay, odometer and close-ups of damage.
• Include service records and a clear copy of ID or company documents if selling a fleet vehicle.
• Be honest about previous repairs and current drivability - transparency speeds payment.
