Convert a wrecked car into cash fast. Get a transparent offer, free nationwide collection, paperwork assistance and quick payment across South Africa.
If your vehicle is wrecked, non-running, accident-written-off or fire/flood damaged, Sell Your Damaged Car converts it into cash with minimal fuss. We provide nationwide collection, paperwork assistance and prompt payment so you avoid costly repairs, storage and private-sale headaches.
We purchase vehicles in any condition: totalled or written-off, collision damage, mechanical failure, flood or fire damage, and non-starters. This service is designed for private owners and small business fleets across Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban and surrounding areas who want a fast, low-effort way to convert a wrecked vehicle into cash.
The workflow is designed for speed and clarity. You can start from anywhere in South Africa by visiting https://sellyourdamagedcar.co.za/.
We buy wrecked cars with visible structural damage, engine failure, or water/fire damage. We also work with vehicles still under finance - we advise on settlement steps during the quote process. For information on determining value, see how to determine the value of a salvage car.
Offers depend on make, model, year, salvageable parts, and the severity of structural or mechanical damage. We provide a clear rationale for each offer so you understand how the valuation was reached.
After you accept the offer we collect the vehicle at the agreed time. We complete transfer paperwork, assist with deregistration, and release payment. For vehicles with outstanding finance, we coordinate settlement instructions so transfer is legal and clean.
| Damage type | Typical impact on offer |
|---|---|
| Cosmetic damage (panels, paint) | Lower impact if structural and drivetrain intact |
| Structural/frame damage | Significant reduction due to repair complexity and safety concerns |
| Engine/transmission failure | Reduced value; salvageable parts may offset some loss |
| Flood or fire damage | Major impact; often sold for parts or scrap |
Example: a non-running sedan with front-end collision in Johannesburg may receive an offer reflecting salvage parts demand in Gauteng and towing logistics. Prices vary across regions; our nationwide network helps keep collection costs low and predictable for sellers in Cape Town, Durban and smaller towns.
We prioritise transparent communication, secure payment methods and proper transfer documentation. Expect clear written offers and confirmation of collection details. For extra security, request ID verification and payment references when the transaction completes.
Seasoned automotive specialists dedicated to helping you turn your damaged or non-running vehicle into cash fast and hassle-free.
