Transport Non-Running Cars
Not every vehicle on the road is in working condition — and when it comes to transport non-running cars in South Africa, precision and care are non-negotiable. Whether due to mechanical failure, accident damage, or restoration status, inoperable vehicles need specialized handling. That’s where professional car transport services step in. Intercity Auto Movers is a trusted partner for safely relocating non-running vehicles, whether across the city or across the country. With the right equipment, trained personnel, and route planning, we turn what might seem like a complex task into a seamless process. For insurance companies, private car owners, collectors, or dealerships — transporting a non-starting vehicle is no longer a challenge when the right logistics partner is involved.
The Challenges Of Moving A Non-Running Vehicle
Unlike fully operational cars, non-running vehicles can’t be driven onto a carrier. This requires specific equipment and procedures, such as hydraulic lift trailers, winches, or flatbed transport. More importantly, non-running cars often carry greater risks during loading and offloading — from body damage to undercarriage stress. These risks increase if the transport team isn’t experienced or if the tools used aren’t appropriate. Intercity Auto Movers addresses these challenges with a dedicated fleet and highly trained crews. Each transport is assessed ahead of time to ensure the right type of carrier and handling method is deployed. We consider the vehicle’s weight, clearance, tire condition, and any structural issues to ensure a smooth and safe move — every time.
Who Needs Non-Running Car Transport Services?
The demand for non-running vehicle transport spans multiple sectors. Car repair shops often need broken-down vehicles towed for service. Insurance companies relocate accident-damaged vehicles for assessment or salvage. Dealerships move trade-ins that no longer run. Private owners might be moving a project car or transporting a restoration vehicle to a garage. In every case, the need is the same: safe, efficient, and stress-free relocation. At Intercity Auto Movers, we handle everything from sedans with dead batteries to accident-damaged SUVs. Regardless of make or model, we create a tailored plan for loading, securing, and delivering the vehicle — without delay or damage. We also coordinate with repair centers, storage facilities, and insurers when needed, creating a completely managed experience.
Specialized Equipment For Safe Handling And Loading
Moving a car that doesn’t start demands more than manpower — it requires the right tools. At Intercity Auto Movers, we use flatbed carriers, hydraulic lifts, soft-strap winching systems, and low-angle ramps to ensure no additional damage occurs. Our equipment is designed to minimize friction, avoid pressure points, and allow even severely damaged vehicles to be moved without hassle. In addition, our team evaluates the vehicle condition before arrival, so no time is wasted in determining the best loading strategy. Whether it’s a locked steering column, seized wheels, or a broken axle — we have the technical solution ready. Our approach is rooted in preparation, professionalism, and protection.
Nationwide Transport Coverage For Inoperable Vehicles
South Africa’s geography presents challenges for any transport job — and even more so when the vehicle can’t move under its own power. That’s why national coverage and local expertise matter. Intercity Auto Movers provides comprehensive non-running car transport services throughout South Africa, including remote areas and high-demand corridors. Whether the vehicle is stranded after a breakdown or parked at a dealership awaiting assessment, we dispatch the nearest available carrier to collect and deliver the unit. Every move is tracked and communicated with full transparency, so clients remain informed at every step. From Cape Town to Polokwane, or Bloemfontein to Durban — we ensure your non-running vehicle arrives safely and on time, no matter where it’s headed.
