How the process works in Cape Town

The online workflow is designed to be fast and transparent. Upload vehicle details and photos, receive an obligation-free offer, accept if it meets your needs, then confirm collection. We arrange free towing from a Cape Town pickup point and complete the necessary paperwork before payment.

Step-by-step

1. Upload vehicle details and photographs: clear shots of damage, odometer and VIN area help valuation.
2. Get your cash offer: transparent breakdown based on make, year, condition and salvage demand.
3. Accept and schedule: choose a collection slot in Cape Town - towing is free.
4. Paperwork & payment: we manage transfer and deregistration steps and release payment promptly after collection.

Practical tips to prepare

• Photograph the car from multiple angles and close-up the damage.
• Have your ID and vehicle papers ready to speed up transfer/deregistration.
• If the vehicle is under finance, inform the lender - we can coordinate settlement details.

What to expect after collection

After we collect your non-runner in Cape Town, paperwork is completed and payment is processed. If deregistration or settlement with a finance house is required, our team assists to reduce delays. Payment is released after collection and verification according to the chosen payment method.

Why choose a specialist buyer

Specialist buyers understand salvage market demand in South Africa and factor in repair cost, parts value and local dismantler interest. That leads to competitive cash offers without you needing to arrange towing, advertise, or risk no-shows.
