Before you decide

Repair or Sell: How to Decide

After an accident or a major breakdown, the first question is usually whether the car is worth fixing. A good rule is to compare the repair estimate with what the car would be worth once repaired. If the repair costs close to that value, or more, selling it as it is often makes more sense.

Think about the hidden costs too. A car that has had major damage may need more repairs later, and insurance and resale can be harder. Getting a cash offer costs you nothing, and it gives you a real number to weigh against the repair.

Send us the repair estimate if you have one, along with photos of the damage. We will tell you plainly what we can offer for the car as it is.

Good to know

Damaged Car Questions

Do you buy cars with major collision damage?
Yes. Heavy front end, side and rollover damage are all reviewed. Photos of the damage help us give an accurate offer.
Can I sell a car ICBC wrote off?
If ICBC has taken the car as a total loss, ICBC handles the sale through its own process, so you cannot sell it to us. If you kept the car or bought it back from ICBC, it is yours to sell. Have your registration and photo ID ready.
Do you buy fire or flood damaged cars?
Yes. Tell us how the vehicle was damaged and send clear photos.
What if the car will not start or roll?
Tell us before pickup. Locked wheels, flat tires and seized brakes change the loading plan, not whether we can help.
Do you buy cars with missing parts?
We buy complete vehicles. If parts are missing, tell us what has been removed so the offer is accurate.
