How pickup works for damaged vehicles
Schedule Your Pickup
Contact us to schedule a pickup time that works for you. We’ll confirm a date and time, and gather necessary details about your vehicle.
Prepare for Pickup
Before our flatbed arrives, please secure any loose parts on the vehicle to avoid issues during transport. If there are leaking fluids, we’ll use a drip tray to manage spills.
Flatbed Towing Arrival
Our professional towing service will arrive with a flatbed truck to safely transport your wrecked vehicle. We cannot tow your car with standard wheel towing.
Paperwork Completion
Once your vehicle is loaded, we’ll handle all paperwork on-site, so you can easily complete your donation without hassle.
Honest value expectations
When donating a wrecked vehicle, it’s important to understand what value you can expect. Generally, vehicles that are considered totaled and have a retained-salvage title can be valued between $300 and $1,500, depending on the severity of the damage. If you have a rare make or model, the parts-harvest value may be significantly higher. However, for vehicles with only cosmetic damage, the value could be closer to a clean-title amount. We're transparent about these values to set realistic expectations.
Diagnose or donate?
Considering whether to spend money diagnosing your wrecked vehicle? It may not make sense to invest in diagnostics if you plan to donate. Often, the cost of repairs will exceed the vehicle's residual value. Donating as-is allows you to skip the hassle and expenses while still benefiting from a tax deduction. Let us help you turn that vehicle into hope for someone in need!
