If your car was recently involved in an accident, a fast online valuation helps you decide whether to repair, insure or sell. Our instant valuation tool gives a clear starting point based on make, model, year and visible damage - so you can compare repair estimates with a competitive cash offer.
An immediate valuation saves time and clarifies options. Typical uses include deciding whether to claim on insurance, checking if repair costs exceed the car’s retained value, or preparing to sell the vehicle quickly. For South African owners in Johannesburg, Cape Town or Durban, a quick estimate also helps when dealing with insurers, bodyshops and potential buyers.
An online valuation gives a range rather than a final offer - it factors in age, mileage, damage type and local salvage demand. For a confirmed cash offer and collection, use our quick upload form. Learn more about our process on the About / How it works page.
| Damage type | Typical valuation impact |
|---|---|
| Minor panel damage | Low to moderate reduction, often repairable |
| Structural or frame damage | Significant reduction; may be classified as written-off |
| Mechanical failure after impact | Reduction varies; non-running status lowers value |
For vehicles that no longer run, refer to our dedicated guidance on selling non-running cars for tailored steps and expectations at Sell Non-Running Car.
Instant valuations are useful estimates. Final cash offers require photos and vehicle details. Market factors (demand for parts or salvage) and location in South Africa can change valuations, so treat the instant figure as a starting point before arranging collection or paperwork.
Sell Your Damaged Car turns an instant online valuation into a fast sale with clear steps: submit details and photos, receive a valuation or cash offer, accept if suitable, and we handle collection, paperwork and payment. To start, Get your free quote or Upload vehicle details on our homepage.
| Repair cost vs value retained (estimates) | Typical outcome |
|---|---|
| Minor repairs: R2,000 - R15,000 (estimate) | Often worth repairing if retained value remains high |
| Major structural/engine repairs: R25,000 - R100,000+ | Selling for salvage or as-is is frequently more practical |
Once you accept, we arrange free nationwide collection and complete the paperwork, including deregistration steps where applicable. If your vehicle is under finance, we work with you to confirm settlement instructions so transfer can proceed. After collection and verification, you receive fast payment. To confirm how this works in practice, see our process overview at Sell Damaged Cars.
