Turn your damaged car into cash

It usually starts with a small issue. A dent, a scrape, maybe something a bit worse. Then you get the repair quote… and suddenly it’s not such a small problem anymore. If fixing your damaged car doesn’t make sense, you’re not stuck with it. We help car owners across New Zealand turn damaged vehicles into cash without putting more money into repairs. No back and forth, no trying to sell it privately, just a simple way to move it on.

We buy damaged cars of all kinds

Damage comes in all shapes and sizes. From light scratches to serious accidents, we buy cars in all conditions.

Other vehicles we’ll happily buy

We don’t just stop at damaged cars. If you’ve got other vehicles you’re looking to sell, we can help with those too. Here are a few of the other types we regularly buy.

Damage doesn’t mean worthless

When a car’s damaged, most people assume it’s only worth scrap. That’s not always the case. We look beyond just the visible damage and assess the full picture, including the make and model, usable auto parts, and current demand. Some cars still have strong value even with damage, while others are better suited for recycling. 

Either way, we’ll give you a fair cash offer based on what your car is actually worth, not just a rough estimate.

We buy all major car brands

Damage doesn’t change the fact that your car still has value. We buy cars from all brands, whether they’ve got minor issues or more serious damage.

Frequently asked questions

If you’re deciding whether to fix or sell your damaged car, here are some of the questions we hear most.

Is it better to repair my car or sell it as damaged?

It really comes down to the cost of repairs compared to the value of your car. In many cases, once you factor in labour, parts, and time, the numbers don’t add up. That’s why many car owners choose to sell their damaged cars rather than fix them. We make it easy to get a cash offer based on the current condition, so you can make a decision without guessing. If the repair cost feels too high, selling as is can be the simpler option.

How do you work out the value of a damaged car?

We look at more than just the visible damage. The make and model, condition of the vehicle, usable scrap parts, and current demand all play a role. Two cars with similar damage can have very different values depending on these factors. That’s why we provide a proper cash quote instead of a rough estimate, so you know exactly where you stand.

Can I sell a car that’s been written off by insurance?

Yes, you can. Written-off cars still have value, even if they’re no longer considered roadworthy. Whether it’s been in an accident or assessed as uneconomical to repair, we can still offer cash for it. We deal with damaged and written-off vehicles regularly, so the process stays simple from start to finish.

Ready to get a price?

At this point, you’ve probably already made up your mind. It’s just about getting it sorted. We’ll give you a clear price and help you move your damaged car on without dragging it out.
