What we buy and why it helps

We purchase bakkies that are non-running, cosmetically or structurally damaged by storms, flood-affected, written-off by insurers, or with mechanical issues caused or exposed by weather events. Selling to a specialist avoids the delays, towing costs and uncertain timelines of private sales and repair shops.

Service highlights

• Any-condition purchases: storm, flood, hail, wind or debris damage.
• Free nationwide towing and vehicle collection.
• Paperwork handled, including deregistration and transfer admin.

Typical reasons owners choose to sell after storm damage

• Insurer write-off delays or low settlements.
• Repair costs exceed vehicle value or are uneconomical.
• Need to free up space, reduce ongoing costs, or avoid further weather exposure.

How we assess storm-damaged bakkies

Valuations combine make, model, year, odometer, visible storm damage, mechanical condition and current salvage demand in South Africa. Clear photos of external panels, underbody, engine bay and the odometer speed up the process. If your bakkie is not roadworthy, note this when you upload details - we buy non-running vehicles as well. For specifics on non-running vehicles see the Sell Non-Running Car page.

Note: final offers depend on a full inspection where required. All valuations reference South African salvage market conditions and the vehicle's documented state.

If your bakkie is under finance, inform your lender - we can coordinate settlement instructions to complete the transfer smoothly.
