Do you buy cars that were completely burned?

Yes. Even a total burn has value in the remaining metal and any surviving parts. We make a cash offer based on what is there and tow it away free.

My insurance already paid the claim. Can I still sell you the car?

In most cases, yes. Bring the salvage title or the settlement paperwork from your insurer, plus your photo ID, and we will handle the rest at pickup.

The car runs but smells like smoke. Is it worth anything?

To a private buyer, very little, since the smell rarely goes away. To us, it is a car we can price for parts and metal, so yes, we will make an offer.

How fast can you pick up a fire-damaged car?

Usually within about an hour of your call. Our 15 trucks run daily routes across Broward, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach counties.

Should I try to fix the wiring before selling?

No. Melted wiring harnesses are expensive to replace and the labor adds up fast. Sell the car as is and let the damage be our problem.

South Florida's Fire-Damage Car Buyer

Why Sell Your Fire-Damaged Car to Us?

We buy cars other buyers will not touch: A burned engine bay, melted wiring, or a smoke-filled interior ends the conversation with private buyers and most dealers. It does not end it with us. We buy fire-damaged cars in every condition, from a scorched engine compartment to a total burn.
You keep the insurance process separate: If your insurer already paid the claim, the car may carry a salvage title or a settlement release. If you had no comprehensive coverage, you are on your own. Either way, we handle the paperwork and pay you cash for what is left.
No repair estimates, no waiting: Fire damage is hard to price for repair because hidden damage keeps appearing. Skip the estimates. One call gets you a firm cash offer and pickup, usually within about an hour.

What Fire Does to a Car, and Why Selling Makes Sense

A car fire does damage in layers, and the visible burn is only the start. Heat warps body panels and weakens structural metal. Smoke penetrates every porous surface in the cabin, from the headliner to the seat foam, and the smell rarely leaves completely. Wiring harnesses melt, connectors fuse, and sensors fail in ways that show up months later. Even a fire contained to the engine bay can total the car once a shop adds up the harness, the modules, and the labor.

We have bought more than 10,000 cars across Broward, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach counties, . Our 15 trucks run daily routes across South Florida, so pickup is fast and towing is always free.

Partial burns still have value: If the fire stayed in the engine bay, the doors, glass, wheels, and trunk components may be untouched. We price the whole car, including the parts that survived.
Smoke damage alone can end a car: A car that looks fine but smells permanently of smoke has almost no private resale value. Selling it to a buyer who prices the metal and parts is the practical exit.
We work around your insurance claim: Already settled? Bring the paperwork. Still deciding? We can buy the car as is. Either way, you are not stuck storing a burned car in your driveway.

Engine Fires, Total Burns, and Smoke Damage: What We Buy

Most vehicle fires start in the engine bay from fuel line leaks, electrical shorts, or overheated components, and once flames reach the wiring harness, the damage spreads fast. A contained-looking fire can still melt the main harness, fuse relays, and cook every sensor in the bay. Rebuilding that means a new harness, new modules, and many labor hours, which is why shops routinely declare these cars uneconomical to repair.

A total burn leaves only metal and whatever parts survived the heat. Smoke damage is the quieter case: the car may run and look normal, but the interior absorbed smoke through the ventilation, upholstery, and headliner. Remediation sometimes helps, but the odor often returns in South Florida humidity, and buyers smell it the moment they open the door.

We price each car on what is actually there: the weight of the metal, the parts that survived, and the completeness of the vehicle. Describe the damage and we will make a firm offer.

Will you buy a car that was fully burned?

Yes. A fully burned car still has value in its steel, aluminum wheels if they survived, and any components the fire did not reach. We price it accordingly and tow it away free.

What if only the interior smells like smoke?

We still buy it. Smoke odor destroys private resale value even when the car runs fine, which is exactly when a cash buyer who prices the car as a whole makes sense.

Insurance Totaled Your Car, or You Had No Coverage

If you carry comprehensive coverage, your insurer will usually declare a burned car a total loss and pay the claim. At that point the car often goes to a salvage auction, but you may have the option to keep it and sell it yourself. If you only carried liability, there is no claim to file, and the burned car is entirely your problem to solve.

We buy the car in either case. If the insurance company issued a salvage title, bring it, along with any settlement letter or release. Our drivers handle the paperwork at pickup, and you get cash on the spot with free towing.

What to Do Before We Pick Up Your Burned Car

Take photos of the damage from every angle before the car is moved, since your insurer or the fire department report may need them. Remove your personal belongings if it is safe to reach the cabin, including the glove box, trunk, and under the seats. Do not try to start a car with a burned engine bay.

If the car is at a tow yard after the fire department responded, call us before storage fees pile up. We can often pick it up directly from the yard. Have your photo ID and title ready when our driver arrives. We verify the vehicle, handle the forms, load it with free towing, and hand you cash.

Do I need to clean the car first?

No. Leave the fire damage exactly as it is. Cleaning a burned car changes nothing about the offer and is not worth your time.
