We offer a transparent process, handle all the local legal admin, and collect from anywhere in the Cape Metro and surrounds at no cost to you.
Major mechanical faults-especially in commercial vans-often cost more to repair than the van's current market value or insurance payout. Here's how the numbers stack up for typical repair scenarios in South Africa:
| Issue | Average Repair Cost (R) | Estimated Value Gained (R) | Net Recovery |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine Rebuild | 35,000 - 60,000 | 20,000 - 40,000 | Negative |
| Major Transmission Fault | 25,000 - 45,000 | 8,000 - 25,000 | Negative |
| Serious Accident Damage | Opens at 40,000+ | Varies | Often Negative |
With figures like these, selling your non-running van directly often makes more sense than paying for uncertain, high-cost repairs or leaving it unused.
If your panel van isn't moving under its own power, we'll offer a fair and transparent cash quote and collect it from anywhere in Cape Town and surrounds-including Bellville, Milnerton, and Somerset West.
| Damage Type | Offer Adjustment |
|---|---|
| Minor Engine Issue | Low to moderate |
| Major Engine/Transmission Failure | Significant |
| Extensive Accident/Structural Damage | Substantial (may impact salvageability) |
| Cosmetic Only | Minimal |
Once we've towed your panel van and completed the payment, you receive written confirmation of sale and, if required, support in finalising deregistration with the Western Cape authorities. Your van is then responsibly processed for parts recycling or the local salvage market in line with South African regulations.
Seasoned automotive specialists dedicated to helping you turn your damaged or non-running vehicle into cash fast and hassle-free.
