A damaged car is a headache you didn't ask for, especially once the insurer has settled or declared it a write-off. We buy accident-damaged, flood-damaged, hail-hit and written-off vehicles across Ashburton for cash, and remove them free. Whether it's drivable or needs towing from the crash site or your driveway, we'll take it off your hands.

Why it's worth it

The local angle

Damaged cars still hold value in their undamaged parts and metal, so you don't have to let a wreck sit or pay to dump it. We assess what's salvageable and pay you for it, then handle removal and recycling.

Turning a write-off into cash

A write-off is an insurance decision, not a verdict that the car is worthless. An insurer writes a vehicle off when repairs would cost more than the car is worth to them — but that same car can still have a clean rear end, a good interior, working electronics and a sound engine and gearbox, all of which have real value to someone repairing another vehicle.

That's why damaged and written-off cars are worth selling rather than abandoning. We assess what survived the damage, pay you for the salvageable parts and metal, and handle the rest. Heavy front-end damage with a clean back half, hail damage that's purely cosmetic, or flood damage that spared the drivetrain can all still carry a worthwhile offer.

Photos make a real difference here. Because the offer depends so much on exactly what's damaged and what isn't, a few clear pictures with your quote let us give you a far more accurate number up front — and we collect the vehicle from wherever it is, including a repair yard or the roadside.

Straight answers

Accident & damaged cars — your questions answered

Do you buy written-off cars?

Yes. Insurance and statutory write-offs are bought regularly — their intact parts and metal still have real value.

My car was in a crash and can't be driven — can you still collect it?

Yes. We tow damaged and undrivable vehicles from wherever they are, including the roadside or a repair yard.

Will I get less for a damaged car?

Damage lowers the offer, but rarely to nothing — undamaged panels, mechanical parts and the metal all carry value. Send photos with your quote for the most accurate number.

Can I keep the car after an insurance payout and still sell it to you?

Sometimes you can retain the salvage after a payout — if you have, we'll buy the wreck for its salvage value. Check your settlement terms, then send us the details.

What if the car is burnt out?

We still buy it for its metal value. A burnt-out shell is worth less than a damaged-but-intact car, but it's still worth a quote rather than paying to dispose of it.
