Sell your storm-damaged, non-running car in Johannesburg. Get a competitive cash offer, free collection, paperwork help and fast payment - start online now.

We handle deregistration/transfer and release payment quickly after collection.
Storms, flooding or hail can leave a vehicle immobile and costly to repair. For owners in Johannesburg and surrounding areas who need a quick, low-hassle route to cash, our service buys non-running, storm-damaged cars in any condition. We arrange free towing from locations across the metro, manage paperwork including deregistration, and provide fast payment once the vehicle is collected.
Repair costs after water or hail damage can be unpredictable - corrosion, electrical faults and hidden mechanical issues often appear after an initial inspection. Selling the vehicle eliminates ongoing storage, repair bills and safety risks. Our process is designed for South African owners who want a transparent, quick sale without organising transport or admin.
We serve Johannesburg, Soweto, Sandton, Roodepoort and surrounding areas with same easy online valuation and free collection. Learn more about our approach on the About / How it works page. If your vehicle won’t start, our Sell Non-Running Car guidance explains the details we need for a quick offer.
We also buy storm-damaged cars from small business fleets and commercial owners in Johannesburg who need to clear written-off or non-running units quickly.
| Repair cost vs value retained (illustrative) | Example outcome |
|---|---|
| If repair estimates exceed 40-60% of the car's market value | Many owners choose sale to salvage buyers rather than costly repairs |
| If corrosion or electrical faults are likely (post-flood) | Salvage market demand and parts value guide offers |
| Damage type | Typical impact on offers |
|---|---|
| Hail/Bodywork only | Lower structural impact; offers depend on parts and repair cost |
| Flood / water ingress | High risk of electrical and engine damage; salvage demand stronger for parts |
| Non-running engine | Offers reflect tow logistics and repair uncertainty |
