Quick Answer
Fire-damaged cars have varying value depending on how much survived the fire. Minor engine compartment fires may leave most of the vehicle intact and valuable. Total burns leave primarily scrap metal weight. Call (678) 490-7989 and describe the fire damage — we'll give you an honest offer based on what's actually there.
Types of Fire Damage — What's Salvageable
Engine compartment fire (contained)
High — most of vehicle intactIf the fire started in the engine bay and was extinguished quickly, the rest of the vehicle may be largely intact. Interior, body panels, wheels, and drivetrain behind the firewall may all have salvage value. These are the most valuable fire-damaged vehicles.
Interior fire
Moderate — exterior intactDashboard fire, seat fire, or fire from interior components. Engine and exterior may be unaffected. Glass, wheels, and body panels often survive. Interior becomes unsalvageable.
Exterior fire (brush fire, adjacent vehicle)
Moderate — depends on extentPaint, plastic trim, and glass damaged but metal structure may be intact. Engine and drivetrain often unaffected depending on severity.
Total vehicle fire
Low — scrap weight onlyComplete burn from fuel source or sustained fire. Most plastics, glass, and rubber destroyed. Metal frame, engine block, and other steel components remain and have scrap value.
Fire Damaged Car FAQs
How much is a fire damaged car worth?
A fire damaged car is worth its remaining scrap metal weight. For a minor engine fire with limited damage, payout might be $300–$800 for sedans, $500–$1,200 for trucks/SUVs. For a total burn, the vehicle is worth its base scrap weight — typically $100–$400 for compact cars, $300–$700 for larger vehicles. The offer depends heavily on how much of the vehicle is left intact.
Do you buy cars that are completely burned?
Yes. Even a completely burned vehicle has scrap metal value. The steel frame, engine block, and other metal components survive most fires and still command scrap prices. We buy total-burn vehicles — the offer reflects the limited salvageability, but we pay cash.
Does a fire damaged car need a title to be sold?
The same title rules apply as with any vehicle — cars 12 or more model years old with no active lien can be sold without a title in Georgia. For newer fire-damaged vehicles, if the title was destroyed in the fire, a replacement can be obtained from the county tag office.
Can you pick up a completely burned vehicle?
Yes. Burned vehicles are picked up on a flatbed. If the vehicle is in a location with hazmat concerns (fuel spill from the fire), we may coordinate with local authorities first. For most engine or interior fires, a standard flatbed pickup is sufficient.
Will my insurance title be branded if the fire was declared a total loss?
Yes — if insurance declared the fire damage a total loss, the title will be branded 'salvage' in Georgia. We buy salvage-titled fire-damaged vehicles. The offer reflects both the fire damage and the title brand.
