South Africa's Community Vehicle Network

We find the car
sitting in your yard. We unlock its value.

We source vehicles that need to be disposed of — damaged, dormant, or stuck in estates — and hand them to auction houses and market-connected buyers to get them sold.

What We Do

The Business,
Simply Put

We source vehicles that need to be disposed of — damaged, dormant, or stuck in limbo — and hand them to auction houses and market-connected buyers to test the market and get them sold.

That is the whole business. Everything else is how we do it better than anyone else. Jalo Links sits between the seller — the person with a vehicle they can't fix, can't keep, and don't know what to do with — and the formal buyer market that actively wants those vehicles but can't find them.

We bridge that gap. We go to where the vehicles are. We appraise them professionally. We photograph them, document them, and submit them to verified buyers through our auction partners. The vehicle moves. The seller gets paid. The buyer gets stock. We earn a fee for making that happen.

01 🔍
We Source

Our community-embedded spotters and certified appraisers find vehicles wherever they are — backyards, garages, farms, estates. We come to you. You don't come to us.

02 📋
We Appraise

Every vehicle gets a professional condition report with photography, documentation, and a realistic market value range. Transparent. Yours to keep. No obligation at this stage.

03 🏆
We Sell

We submit to our verified buyer and auction network. Multiple buyers bid competitively. The market sets the price — not one person making a lowball take-it-or-leave-it offer.

A damaged asset is not a dead asset.
It is a misplaced one.

We do it because a damaged asset can still recover value — even beyond zero, even when it looks like debt. Somewhere, someone is actively looking for exactly what you have sitting in your yard. Our job is to find that person and connect them to you — fairly, professionally, without making you feel like you're on the losing end of a deal you don't understand.

Who We Do It For

Named, Not Implied —
Is This You?

We do it for people with a vehicle sitting in their backyard — and no solution, or a solution they tried and weren't happy with. These are not edge cases. This is the majority.

// Person 01
Your car was in an accident and the repair quote is more than the car is worth.

No insurance, or insurance that didn't cover it. The quote came back at R22,000. The car is worth R18,000. It's been sitting for six months. Nobody has come to help. We do.

// Person 02
Your family inherited a vehicle from someone who passed away and doesn't know what to do with it.

The licence is expired. The insurance lapsed. Nobody in the house drives it. Formal dealers won't look at it and you don't trust strangers. We are referred, certified and transparent.

// Person 03
You tried the scrap yard and walked away feeling robbed.

They offered R3,500 for a vehicle you believe is worth more. You have no way to prove it. No buyer access. No trusted advisor. The car is back in the yard. Let us show you what it's actually worth.

// Person 04
You have a fleet or business vehicle that's damaged, non-running, or just taking up space.

Selling damaged vehicles isn't your core business. You just need it gone — professionally, with documented fair market value and paperwork you can keep.

// Person 05
Your vehicle has unpaid finance and the bank hasn't collected it yet.

You stopped paying. The bank is in the picture. It's deteriorating while the debt grows. We help you understand your options and facilitate a legitimate resolution.

// Person 06
You're a buyer looking for a specific model that never shows up on AutoTrader.

A rare spec, a specific year, a working bakkie in good nick. Our nationwide spotter network finds vehicles that haven't been listed anywhere — the gems hidden in garages.

"8.74 million uninsured vehicles are on South Africa's roads. One million accidents are reported every year. The person sitting with a damaged car and no solution is not unusual — they are the market."

Auction Submission

If you agree to proceed, we submit to verified buyers and auction partners. Multiple buyers bid — the market sets the price.

What Makes Us Different

Specifically, Not Generically —
We Are Your Neighbour

We are not a billboard on the highway. We are not an advert that disappears. We are in your face, in your street, in your community — and that is the whole point.

Every large vehicle buying platform in South Africa operates on the same model: they advertise, and you come to them. You take your car to their site. You upload your photos. You wait for their offer. Their process, their terms, their timeline.

Jalo Links is built the other way around. We come to you.

Our spotters and appraisers are people from your community — not call centre agents, not algorithms, not a brand talking to you through a screen. They know which cars in your section haven't moved in months. This is hyperlocal intelligence no algorithm can generate.

📍
We Go to the Vehicle

You don't drive anywhere. We come to your yard, your garage, your home — wherever the vehicle is.

📋
Professional Appraisal, Not a Guess

Not a verbal lowball offer. A documented condition report with photos and a realistic market value range.

🏆
Market Price via Competitive Bidding

Multiple buyers bid. The market sets the price — not a single buyer with an agenda to pay as little as possible.

🤝
We Work Where Others Won't

Code 3 write-offs, deceased estate vehicles, uninsured damage — the vehicles formal dealers reject are exactly what we specialise in.

⚡
5–7 Day Payout

Once sold, you receive payment within 5–7 business days. We handle the paperwork and transfer logistics.

The Foot Soldier Model —
Employment Through Proximity

Our spotters and appraisers are people from the communities where the vehicles are. That is not a social responsibility statement — it is the business model.

With youth unemployment above 60% for 15–24 year-olds, South Africa has an enormous pool of motivated, community-embedded individuals who lack a structured entry point to generate income. The Jalo Links foot soldier model is that entry point.

You already know which cars in your area haven't moved in months. You know the households. You know the stories. We give you the training, the certification, and the commission structure to convert that knowledge into income.

Level 1
Spotter

Identify vehicles, report leads, earn referral commission per successful appraisal booking.

Level 2
Senior Spotter

Manage a sub-network in your area, earn override commission on your team's bookings.

Level 3
Trainee Appraiser

Trained in vehicle condition assessment, professional photography and documentation.

Level 4
Certified Appraiser

Full appraisal authority. Earn per assessment and per successful auction sale.

Level 5
Area Manager

Manage appraiser network in a district. Eligible for formal employment. This is where the real income is.

Ready to Join the Network?

No formal qualifications required. No capital needed. No vehicle needed. Just community knowledge, a smartphone, and the motivation to convert that into real income.

What you need: To know your community. To be trusted in it. To know which cars haven't moved.

What we provide: Training, certification, commission structure, and the buyer network that converts your leads into cash.
