Selling a damaged car in Durban with a specialist buyer is usually a four-step process: submit details and photos online, receive a transparent offer, accept and schedule collection, and finalise paperwork and payment. We arrange free towing across Durban and surrounding areas, handle deregistration and settle payment promptly after collection.
