We buy non-running and damaged 4x4s regardless of condition.
We arrange pickup across South Africa at no cost to you.
We handle transfer/deregistration support and pay quickly after collection.
If your 4x4 won’t start after an accident, mechanical failure, flood or long-term storage, selling to a specialist saves time and cost. We buy 4x4s in any condition, provide free towing across South Africa, handle the paperwork (including deregistration where applicable), and pay quickly.
A non-running 4x4 can quickly become expensive to store, diagnose and repair. For many owners in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban and surrounding areas, the combined expense of towing, parts and labour exceeds the realistic resale value - especially for older models or severe damage. Selling avoids continued costs and administrative hassle. Learn more about our approach on the About / How it works page.
Private towing in South Africa typically ranges from about R300 in metro short-haul jobs up to R1,200 or more for longer or specialist recoveries; these are estimates and will vary by region and tow type. With free nationwide towing included, you avoid that upfront expense and logistic hassle.
| Common situation | Typical local cost (estimate) | What we provide |
|---|---|---|
| City short tow (Johannesburg/Cape Town) | R300-R600 (estimate) | Free towing, nationwide |
| Long-distance or winch recovery | R700-R1,500+ (estimate) | Free towing arranged, specialised collection where needed |
