We provide free towing across Port Elizabeth and surrounding Eastern Cape suburbs, handle the required paperwork (including deregistration where applicable), and arrange fast payment once the vehicle is collected.

Why sell a petrol non-runner instead of repairing?

  • Selling removes storage, towing and safety liabilities - we collect for free in Port Elizabeth and manage the handover.
  • For fleet owners and private sellers alike, a quick sale frees up capital and reduces administrative headaches.
