Overview

If you need to sell a non-running car in Johannesburg, Sell Your Damaged Car specialises in buying vehicles in any condition - from mechanical failures and blown engines to accident-written-off or salvage vehicles. We provide a simple online valuation, transparent offers, and nationwide collection. For many Johannesburg owners the combination of free towing, handled paperwork (including deregistration) and near-instant payment removes the hassle of repairs, private listings and local towing fees.

• Take clear photos of the engine bay, interior and any visible damage - this helps speed up valuation.
• Have ownership documents and ID ready; if the vehicle is under finance, declare it upfront to avoid delays.
