Selling your car to a dealer is the fastest, safest way to turn it into money — no strangers, no scams, no weeks of admin. Here’s exactly how the process works at S4 Auto in Boksburg, step by step.
Step 1: Request a valuation
Start online: complete the short form on our Sell Your Vehicle page with your car’s make, model, year, mileage and condition, or call us on 087 256 5549. Photos help us give you a sharper initial estimate.
Step 2: Gather your paperwork
- Vehicle registration document (or bank details if financed)
- Your ID and proof of address
- Full service history — book and invoices
- Both keys, spare wheel, tools and any accessories
- Settlement letter from your bank if the car is financed (we can help request this)
Step 3: The appraisal
Bring the car to our showroom at 5 Yster Street, Bardene, Boksburg. Our buyer inspects the vehicle — bodywork, mechanical condition, tyres, service record — and checks its history. This typically takes under an hour.
Step 4: The offer
You receive a written offer, valid for a defined period. No obligation — you’re free to compare it against other offers or a private-sale estimate. (Read our honest comparison: trade-in vs private sale.)
Step 5: Settlement and payment
Accept, and we handle the rest. If the car is financed, we settle the bank directly and pay any equity balance to you. If it’s paid off, the full amount is paid to your account. Payment is made securely — no cash handovers, no EFT screenshot games.
Step 6: Ownership transfer
We complete the change-of-ownership paperwork and notify the registering authority. You hand over the keys and walk away done — no future traffic fines or licence renewals on a car you no longer own.
Selling vs trading in
If you’re buying your next car from us, the same appraisal becomes your trade-in — and the value works as a deposit, reducing your new instalment. See how trade-ins work or browse the showroom while you’re here.
