A Parktown North resident's hatchback suffered severe hail damage and engine failure during summer storms. Rather than paying high repair and storage costs, they submitted their details online, received a fair cash quote the same day, and arranged collection for the next morning. Our team handled the deregistration and payment was made via EFT immediately after collection.
| Repair Needed | Average Cost (R) | % Value Retained |
|---|---|---|
| Minor panel beating | 3,000 - 8,000 | 85% |

| Extensive hail or flood repair | 8,000 - 20,000 | Varies; can fall below 50% |
