Sell Scrap Car Johannesburg - Fast Cash, Free Towing & Paperwork Help

Why sell your scrap car in Johannesburg?

Scrap vehicles occupy space, attract storage or security costs, and can continue to deteriorate. Selling now avoids ongoing costs and removes logistics: we arrange collection from suburbs across Johannesburg, from Sandton to Soweto, and manage the paperwork so you don’t have to. For a clear explanation of our approach and timeline, see our About / How it works.

What we accept

We buy end-of-life and scrap vehicles including accident-written-off cars, non-running vehicles, flood-damaged cars and vehicles useful only for parts. If your car won’t start or would cost more to repair than it’s worth, selling as scrap is often the simplest option. Learn more about accepting non-running vehicles on our Sell Non-Running Car page.

What to expect: step-by-step

Submit details and photos

Complete the online form with make, model, year, a short damage description and clear photos. Accurate photos speed up valuation and improve offer accuracy.

Receive and review your offer

You’ll get a transparent cash offer that reflects the vehicle condition and local salvage demand in Johannesburg and Gauteng. Take time to review the offer - there is no obligation to accept.

Accept, schedule collection and paperwork

If you accept, we arrange free towing from your Johannesburg location. Our team handles transfer and deregistration admin to make the transaction simple. Confirm collection and we’ll coordinate a convenient time.

Payment and aftercare

After collection and completion of paperwork, payment is released to your bank. Our process supports private owners and small business fleets in Johannesburg, and we can advise on vehicles still under finance so you understand necessary steps before sale.

Practical tips to get the best result

• Provide clear, well-lit photos of exterior, interior and the odometer.
• If the vehicle is still on the road, remove personal items and have keys available at collection.
• If under finance, notify your lender early so transfer steps are clear; we can outline the admin required.

Local notes for Johannesburg sellers

We collect from suburban and metro addresses across Johannesburg and coordinate timing to avoid traffic-peak delays. If you’re outside Gauteng - for example Cape Town or Durban - we also operate nationwide with the same free towing and paperwork support.
