Sell My Broken Down Vehicle in South Africa - Fast Cash & Free Towing

What we buy and who this is for

We purchase broken-down vehicles across South Africa, including Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban. That includes cars with engine or transmission failure, seized engines, blown head gaskets, electrical faults that leave the car non-running, and written-off vehicles. Owners, sole traders and small fleet managers use this service when repairs are impractical or time-consuming.

Core benefits you can expect

• Free nationwide collection from any metro or surrounding area.
• Simple online valuation: upload photos and vehicle details to receive an offer.
• We handle paperwork, including deregistration assistance and transfer documents where applicable.
• Fast payment after collection and verification.

How the process works (fast overview)

Selling a broken-down vehicle is a straightforward 4-step process designed for speed and transparency:

• Upload vehicle details: Complete the online form with make, model, year, a clear description of the fault and photos.
• Receive an offer: We assess condition and market factors, then provide a fair cash offer.
• Accept and schedule collection: Choose a convenient pickup time; towing is free across South Africa.
• We collect and pay: Paperwork is handled and payment is released after vehicle collection and verification.

What affects the cash offer for a broken-down vehicle

Offers reflect the vehicle's make, model, year, mileage, salvage demand and extent of mechanical damage. Severe engine or transmission faults reduce value more than cosmetic damage, while rarer models or those with intact interiors can attract higher salvage interest.

Feature callouts

• Accident-damaged or written-off vehicles are accepted.
• Flood or fire-damaged cars are evaluated with full disclosure required.
• Vehicles under finance: we explain steps to clear obligations and transfer ownership.

Trust & verification: how we protect sellers

We provide transparent written offers, confirm collection details in advance, and complete the required transfer forms. Payment is made to the seller's nominated bank account after the vehicle has been collected and ownership paperwork processed. For South African sellers, we also assist with deregistration advice when needed.

Common seller questions (practical examples)

Example 1: A Cape Town owner with a non-starting 2010 sedan chooses not to repair a failed gearbox. After uploading photos and fault details, they received an offer and scheduled free towing from a nearby depot. Paperwork was handled and payment released on collection.

Example 2: A small fleet operator in Johannesburg with two seized-engine vehicles used the service to free up yard space; both vehicles were collected and paid for within 48 hours of acceptance.
