Sell SUV with Airbags Deployed - Fast Cash, Free Towing Nationwide

Why selling can be the smarter move than repairing

Repairing deployed airbags often requires replacement of modules, sensors, seats, dash components and certified diagnostic resets. For many SUVs the total repair can exceed local market value, especially on older models. Selling lets owners avoid storage costs, towing fees and the uncertainty of private sales.

Key benefits when you choose a specialist buyer

• Competitive cash offer based on salvage demand and vehicle data.
• Free nationwide towing - we collect from Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban and surrounding areas.
• We handle paperwork including deregistration guidance and transfer requirements.

What affects offers for an SUV with airbags deployed

Several factors determine the cash offer: extent of structural damage, number and type of deployed airbags, availability of replacement parts, vehicle age, make/model and current salvage market demand. We assess photos and vehicle details to provide a transparent offer quickly.

If you want to learn more about how we assess damaged vehicles, see our About / How it works page. For SUVs that no longer start after a collision, our Sell Non-Running Car guide explains what information speeds up valuation.

Estimate note: repair estimates for deployed-airbag systems can vary widely by model. As a rough South Africa-specific range, replacing multiple airbags and related electronics can range from an estimated R15,000 to R120,000+ depending on parts and labour; these are indicative figures and actual costs depend on vehicle specifics and quote sources.
