| Damage type | Typical impact on offer |
|---|---|
| Structural frame damage | Significant reduction due to complex repairs and salvage classification |
| Mechanical failure (non-running) | Moderate to high impact depending on engine/transmission condition |
| Surface/partial body damage | Lower impact; often economical to repair but varies by make and age |
| Flood or fire damage | High impact; often sold for parts or salvage markets |
We evaluate each vehicle on its specifics rather than making blanket assumptions. To understand our approach to valuations and the step-by-step process, read our About / How it works page. For examples of damage types we buy, see our Sell Damaged Cars information.
Trusted local service means quick collections across Johannesburg (Sandton, Roodepoort, Soweto, Midrand and surrounding suburbs) and clear paperwork support for owners and small fleets.
Our aim is to keep the sale straightforward. The usual flow when selling an accident vehicle in Johannesburg is:
| Feature | What you get |
|---|---|
| Free towing | Collection from your Johannesburg address at no cost |
| Paperwork handling | We assist with transfer tasks and deregistration where applicable |
| Fast payment | Funds released promptly after completion and vehicle collection |
If your vehicle still has a finance balance, inform us early. We explain the steps: a settlement figure from the finance house is required and will be handled during transfer. Clear ownership documentation speeds up the process and reduces delays.
For Johannesburg sellers: keep clear photos of damage, have ID and vehicle documents ready, and check whether your insurer needs notification. Fleet owners can sell multiple units-ask about consolidated collection slots.
