How pickup works for damaged vehicles
Schedule Pickup
Once you fill out our donation form, we’ll contact you to arrange a convenient time for pickup of your wrecked vehicle, ensuring minimal disruption to your day.
Secure Your Vehicle
Before our flatbed tow truck arrives, please secure any loose parts and remove personal belongings. This helps ensure a smooth pickup process.
Towing Process
Our professional tow truck operators will arrive with a flatbed truck, ready to safely transport your wrecked car. We handle all the necessary paperwork on-site.
Receive Confirmation
Once your vehicle is loaded and on its way, you’ll receive a confirmation of donation and details for tax purposes. This ensures you have documentation for your records.
Honest value expectations
When donating a wrecked vehicle, it's essential to have realistic expectations about the potential value. Typically, the donation value ranges from $300 to $1,500, depending on the state of the vehicle. The value is often driven by retained-salvage titles and the vehicle's parts-harvest potential, especially for rare makes and models. If your car has sustained extensive damage, the value may be on the lower end, while minor cosmetic damage may yield a higher value closer to a clean title. Remember, we are committed to providing you with an honest estimate based on your vehicle’s condition.
Diagnose or donate?
If you're contemplating spending money on diagnostic tests for your wrecked vehicle, it may be worth considering the donation route instead. Most likely, the cost of repairs or diagnostics could exceed the final value of your car, especially if it has significant damage. Donating your vehicle saves you time, effort, and money—allowing you to contribute to a good cause without the financial burden of repairs.
